but awesome
That's harder to define, but, in a nutshell, these are just well drawn adhering to standard principles of good design (color theory, balance, contrast, proportion, scale, etc...)
There's no one particular tutorial to explain any of that, but in general, you'd use software such as Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape for a lot of this type of work.
