How To Create a Retro Style Cartoon Character Illustration (+ FREE Halftone Brushes!)

In today's Illustrator and Photoshop tutorial I'm going to take you through the process of creating a mid-century illustration, complete with distressed print effects. I'll show you how to achieve the visual traits that give the artwork the appearance of a retro matchbook print, such as the use of limited colours, halftone shading, misregistration effects, and the all-important old paper texture that turns the clean and crisp vector illustration into a nostalgic cartoon that is full of character!

I've been working in Illustrator for most of my adult life, having learned it back in college when it was a brand new software coming to market. I've taught myself things over the years using various KZfaq tutorials and kind of picking up what I need here and there....I found your tutorial trying to learn how to do this exact effect for a personal project I'm working on and it BLEW MY MIND. I learned 10 things I had only vague knowledge of or didn't know at all in the first 7 minutes. I cannot thank you enough for this amazing video and for the free tools. THANK YOU.

After the width tool --> I expand the appearance --> Then I merge the lines together ... However, when I merge it, all the lines I used the width tool had no more filling. So it was black and white! No idea why this is happening?!
