Creating a one-of-a kind illustration is such a unique and distinctive way to help an event, product, or brand stand out. For Surley Brewing’s Oktoberfest, I created an endlessly thirsty skeleton. The colors, composition, and overall style give a traditional Oktoberfest feeling to the character and the poster. From the primary illustration, I had to create four spot illustrations as well. That was something I had never done before, so I learned how the process changes when creating an illustration to pull pieces from. Though quite the challenge, this project was a great opportunity to try new things and learn tools and methods for both physical and digital illustration.
