As found in my earlier Illustrator workshop, sometimes handmade shapes don't look too great on Illustrator and it might be interesting to embrace the 'perfect' tools of Illustrator.
I found out how to add a speckled texture but am not too sure about it. It looks pixelated next to the smoothness of vectors.
Using different colour overlays have different effects. Colours look far less harsh than black, even when multiplied.
I think the grain layer looks better when offset- partially because it doesn't completely interrupt the smooth colour of the vectors but it also reminds me of traditional screen print methods.
I liked these illustrations by Nous Vous, and feel inspired by the blocky and choppy compositions. I like the idea of lots of mini compositions instead of just plain borderless vignettes, and think it would make the image stand out more.
