Years ago I was playing around with both programs and I decided on illustrator because of the infinite scalability of vectors. Hi Magoz! Thanks for your article which encouraged me to give photoshop a chance again for illustration and cartooning.

And using a very portable and minimalistic tool kit allows me to travel light. It allows me to create illustrations in an hour, which is very useful for rush assignments. This workflow is deeply settled in my working process after hundreds of illustrations. One that suits the kind of work you produce. The most important thing for a workflow is to be flexible and effective. The final check consists of paying special attention to the small details and adjusting the composition if needed. If it’s not a rush assignment, I wait some time before the final check, so I can have some distance from the image. In this process I use tools like Brush, Eraser, Rotate canvas, Transform, Rotate elements, Zoom, Vector tools, Magic Wand, Selection tools…
It’s time to smooth every single element. Once the colors are chosen, the digital sketch is finished and this is the sketch I send to the Art Directors and clients for approval. I start dealing with colors, looking for a simple but strong color palette, making hundreds of tests on the digital sketch. I always aim for impact and transmitting the idea well.
I draw the basic structure for everything, trying to compose the elements paying attention to the guides, white spaces and rhythm. I create the guides within a click using the GuideGuide Plugin. I always compose my images using my particular version of the thirds theory. If possible, I work over the final layout, where the illustration will be used.

Note: Since I originally wrote this article, I have since switched to Illustrator.
