: How to match these two styles / how to get this grainy texture? We got some Graphics done by a professional. Now I'd like to modify them and add some objects. He used a "special effect"

@Nimeshi706

You can get a similar effect with some grain effects...

Say we're starting with this:



Use the Mesh Tool (U) to add some shading (just add some mesh points and adjust the colors with only the points you want to adjust selected):





Add some grain. There are a couple of effects that will give you a similar look; I used a "Film Grain" here (Effect → Artistic → Film Grain...). I used the effect on a duplicate layer then reduced the opacity to reduce the intensity of the effect...





You can combine a number of grain effects for more grain.

A useful tip... use the Appearance panel, where you can add a number of fills and strokes and effects to those specific fills etc. all on a single object...



Overlay a paper texture for the overall texture (just place a texture above your artwork and adjust the opacity and blending mode to your liking)...
