A fun first attempt / messing around with some of the shading that I've been seeing in a lot of amazing designs. Trying to learn the ways... but obviously, I've got a ways to go... (2x version is a little more clear)
I attempted some gritty vector shading on a recent project. I used scans of dry brush paint strokes and set them up as art brushes in Illustrator. They were simple enough to manipulate, but really bogged down performance.

Looking good so far man, try making the dark parts a little more drastic so it's clear there is a fold/overlap
