Drawing with Limited Colors in Adobe Illustrator

Illustrating with a reduced color palette basically means deciding to use only a few colors , that can be between two and maybe up to seven or eight colors. Note: if it was only one color it would technically be a “Mono illustration” normally most mono’s are black and white like the illustrations in the Yellow pages.

So working with only a few colors is going to be fun, but the challenge, dear reader, is assigning those colors around the illustration to have an even covering and deciding what color to make objects that are very similar in color density?
