If you like working on Illustrator, this tutorial is going to help you a lot in becoming a professional designer. You will also get to know about the hidden/special effects present in the illustrator with the help of this tutorial. So let us start this tutorial.

1. First of all, let us open a new document. To open a new document, you will go to File > New. Click on New, a new document will open. As you can see in the image above, we will first name the file. After that, we will input the size of the artboard. One important thing that we should always remember is that we need to keep the color mode in the document to RGB, so that the image looks like an original image.

2. In the final image, you can see a camel and a background. We’ll first start working on the background. First, make a box on the artboard.
