Digital Illustration design of a Hippo from a straight on view. Only Adobe Illustrator was used to create the Hippo.
Mock-up: This illustration is used as a beer for a fictional beer called "Hippo Hops" a cherry flavored IPA.
Hippo sketch
Illustrating from the sketch was made using half of the face, then copied, flipped, and aligned to make it whole.
Final version in Spring 2022.
Updated version where the texture is changed to represent more of what the skin of the hippo would seem like, and contained within the illustration bounds with a low opacity. Shadows added to add depth to the Hippo's face, and head.
