These illustrations were done using Photoshop.
I had a visual reference to create these.
I usually start off using a thin brush and do an outline which gets changed as the picture evolves.
Using layers, I then add snippets of colours starting from the most basic underlying colours and build the item up using a variety of shades and not forgetting to look at the reflections and textures on the objects.
Layer by layer, I add a vast array of colours to eventually get that 3D effect. Experiment with brushes and see which effect you get the most from it.
Throw in a few reflections and light using black with a variety of opacities for the shadows and white for the highlights.
