Make an Inspiring Artistic Poster with Drawn Elements

In this tutorial, we’ll create drawn elements, use design brushes, bring them into Photoshop, and merge them into a unique poster composition that feels hand-made, stylistically unified, and personalized. The techniques here are focused on creating an original artistic illustration. Let’s see how this poster design was created.
Let’s get started reviewing how to create this “Draw” poster. Then first thing that we’ll do is plan the size, contents, and colors. I made mine for an A3 size poster, which is 420 mm by 297 mm, or 4961px x 3508 px, set at 300 ppi. The advantage of creating it in a large size is the ability to later adapt it to a printable full-size posters, magazine illustrations, design clothing like t-shirts, or web design content. Whatever size you choose, keep in mind that I will be giving instructions based on an A3 canvas at 300 ppi.
