Adding an artboard in Illustrator is a simple process that can help you create more efficient and effective illustrations. To add an artboard, open Illustrator and click the plus sign (+) on the left side of the main window. Then, select the desired area of your illustration and click the Add button. When you add an artboard, Illustrator will create a new layer on top of your current drawing layer. This new layer will have a name and will be filled with your drawing data. You can use this new layer to change or add features to your illustration, or to store additional data for later use. If you want to remove an artboard from your drawing, select it and then click the minus sign (-) on the left side of the main window.
