When you create illustrations, you often use Illustrator to create the basic shapes and designs for your illustrations. However, there are a few steps you can take to make your illustrations look more professional and like they were made by a professional artist. To start, make sure that your Illustrator file is in the same format as all other Illustrator files. This is usually .ai or .eps. Next, change the resolution of your Illustrator file to something higher than its default resolution. For example, if your default resolution is 300 dpi, change it to 600 dpi. Finally, add some basic design features to your illustrations by using tools like curves and gradients.
