Mascots, Illustrations and 25 beautiful samples

I bet you have seen many impressive logos with nice illustrations like birds, animals, people and many other various things. It seems that they had been done by spending LOTS of time and this job requires much effort. I thought designers had been using special tools like a pad in order to create  logo with illustration. I agree, you have to work on many details, shapes and shadows (not always) but that’s not always as hard as you imagine! I’ve been browsing through design contests in the past and never entered any that needs an illustration in the logo. I even rejected private works that require an illustration! And I regret that now. I thought it was not for me and I ccould not do such a thing. The designs submitted for the contests were really awesome and I couldn’t imagine myself doing anything like that. You might think the same about you but don’t hurry to judge! I heard about pople making sketches on a paper some time ago. They make many concepts, then scan them and open with Illustrator.

25 Realistic Illustrator artwork

Many of us think that the Illustrator is used to create logos mainly. You can also create illustrations, business cards and other. But a really amazing thing is that some people create Realistic designs of real things with so many details using Illustrator! They look like real photos but they have been made manually with human's talents! While designers spend several hours making logos, these people spend like 20, 40, 80 or even more hours to make such designs. It's hard to imagine how patient and talented you have to be. It also requires many years of experience. Since I make logo designs only, these artworks seem pretty incredible for me because logos aren't that detailed. It is very easy to impress any graphic designer with these images because they can easily rate the time spent working on such things. Some of you might think it is a waste of time and others will sit back and admire the images made with a huge effort. And now, take a VERY CLOSE look at them, see how many details they have! 25 Illustrator artworks 1.
