Inspiration: 30 Beautiful Textured Illustrations
Illustrations — before digital graphics software — used to be highly textured; whether it came from the medium (e.g. paper, canvas), the painting method (like watercolors or chalk), or both. These textural components, as can be seen through our textured illustration tutorial by Ciara Panacchia, give artwork an organic and tactile element, and this visual showcase presents illustrations that embody these aesthetics.

I really like this collection, but I just have to say, “Yakuza” by Mateusz Kolek looks like a child molester and his prey. just sayin.
