What realistic works need most is the description and shaping of modeling, light and shadow, as well as the grasp and understanding of human body and scene;
Posters and cover design works need to grasp the picture composition and skillfully use color matching;
Seemingly simple children's illustrations and picture books (such as Jimmy) should not only have a good grasp of color matching and picture composition, but also have some research on human bodies and scenes, otherwise it is difficult to design exaggerated, cute and reasonable characters. Naoko Takagi, a very popular picture book author in the past two years, is also from an art school and has been training in art for many years.
Although each style has its own emphasis on the basis of art, just like picture books, it is very necessary to master comprehensive art knowledge-if realistic works do not study the composition of the picture, then the works will have no focus or even momentum. Therefore, it is difficult to create your own mature and stable style without solid basic art training and comprehensive art knowledge.
Take the brush as an example. Now he can have his own fixed style, and at the same time, he can create other styles according to different themes and requirements because he has mastered solid and comprehensive artistic basic skills.
Let's talk about software first
Most of them are AI. And painter, these two softwares are used the most.
Generally divided into Europe and America, Korea and Japan. There are many general directions. There are many subdivisions, such as aesthetics, realism and abstraction.
There is no shortcut to drawing illustrations. If you want to learn illustration, you must have a painting foundation and draw more! Use more snacks! It's very good upstairs. Let me add that the drawing board should be combined with software to draw illustrations. Painter is recommended. As long as they are friends who like illustrations, most of them have the impulse to write their own works. Once you start painting, you will often envy those characters and authors, want to create your own illustration style, and then make the above remarks.
For many friends who like illustration creation, there is often a misunderstanding here, that is, if there are some fresh or alternative styles, you don't need basic training, as long as you have enough creativity and unlimited "feeling", you can create them. In fact, both realistic illustrations and aesthetic work styles are gradually evolved by each author through long-term accumulation. Even those writers with different styles need to hone very solid art to have their own style.
Of course, you should find what you are best suited to and good at in style. If you don't have something you are particularly good at, find someone you like to imitate. If you want to make a living from commercial illustration, I suggest you do some research on the current market. What kind of illustration do you prefer? As for what method to use, there are actually many kinds, not necessarily software, but what you appreciate or are good at. In a word, illustration, if you are really interested in painting and persist, it will always be good, not to say that you must have any style and method. There is something wrong with the question you asked.

How to teach illustration course by yourself based on zero foundation? Experience sharing should not be too ambitious at first. First copy the simplest works drawn by your favorite illustrator, and then slowly find out the shortcomings, and cram up the basic knowledge of painting such as sketch (black, white, gray, light and shadow relationship) and sketch (proportion and dynamics of human and animal body structure). Finally, on the macro level, perseverance is very important. If there is no basis for painting, let's start with copying. Copying is the best way to get started. Learn from others' strengths. Copy more, you will gradually understand something, and you will find progress. Don't use computer to draw at first, practice some hand-drawn things first, and then use board drawing. You can quickly master the function of using the tablet without using the mouse.
