Visual exaggeration, geometric patterns, line art, limited colors, and 3D illustrations with a sense of volume.

1), Visual Exaggeration One of the popular trends that illustrators are seeing in their work is visual exaggeration.

Broken proportions and exaggerated body parts now seem to be an integral part of digital art all around.

Pablo style fashion illustrations have exaggerated details and broken proportions, which constitute an artistic technique.
