I'm pretty new to AI too...

So my advice is pretty limited on the subject. However, I had this tut on bookmark, I followed it a while back and it covers basically what you need.

Good luck.

Looks like the work of a graphics tablet perhaps... I use an intuos 5...draw it first...scan it into your PC...reduce opacity and layer rover it in Ai. My best guess.

I too buy a Intuos 5 and i think you guess it well but look at the blending of colors, it is so clean & even strokes. I am not getting these things in illustrator. Moreover can you post a video tutorial of your artwork or methods you used to get things done like this.

I'm a newbie in AI so someone else should tell you if this kind of painting can be done in AI. . . but I think the vector drawings are taken into Photoshop and the painting done there. It looks like the images above use only one or two standard PS brushes. It also looks like you'd need some practice to get the strokes right. There are also plenty of water color brushes online though these look standard to me.

Do you draw and paint?

Hey, If you haven't got an answer to this one yet. The artwork in your examples is most definitely done with a tablet, and most likely in Photoshop. Illustrator can do similar artwork but not the stroked / painted appearance on the examples. If I was trying to achieve it, my steps would be.

Sketch the picture on paper,
Scan in & trace the main segments, lock the layer
On a new layer, trace the shapes for light & shadow
Now you have all the desired sections, using color & gradients, fill in the sections, & you can apply specific blends to each one if neccasery.

If you have any overlaps on the light & shadow sections, For example, it its on a t-short & the area for shadow goes over the edge.. just use an no stroke, no fill copy of the t-shirt to mask it.

Hope that helps.

Going off the fact that the colour spills over the line in areas, I'm going to sugest it was traced in Illustrator using the brush tool, and then coloured in Photoshop. The colours should never go over the lines in such a precision software. I would say these images are low standard.

Can I just confirm you can do simple sketches like this on the touch pad of a laptop, Illustrator cleans the path of the brush, so it's not that clear whether a tablet was used or not.

When I suggested overlaps, I didn't mean color was spilling out, I meant using overlaps on shapes then masking to create the shadows etc. Rough example

I was on about the original images from the op. Again, the images given, were coloured using Photoshop after doing the outlines in Illustrator.
