Since I am in the design field, I like to follow others who work in design. An account I really like is @ollies_doodles on Instagram. He makes posts and videos about different design techniques and tutorials on how to achieve them. I really like his tutorials on how he makes different textures and grains, which gives illustration more depth. I have seen Lemonly use textures in their designs but was not sure on how to achieve the effect until I learned from tutorials. He also makes 3D shapes like cans, LEGO heads, and wrist bands. For one of our classes, we have to make a 10 piece campaign and for one of my pieces I need a wrist band, so his tutorial will come in handy when I am making that. I really appreciate how he takes the time to explain every step so others can follow along. His tutorials are super helpful and inspiring!
Someone else who inspires me is @arynlei on Instagram. She makes tutorials too, but I really love her designs. She made a card deck called “At the Table” and each card is a different table layout from food to ping-pong. I love the concept! I started following when she first started making the card deck, and now it is finished! Of course, I had to buy a deck because I have been following the project so long (and I just love cards).
