I do a lot of creative hired gun work for agencies. They call me up and pull me into their various projects to execute everything from logos, icons, illustrations, concepts, patterns and in this case a character design.

I enjoy this kind of work because it’s always challenging and ever changing. Style drives most of the work and it has to fit in well with the overall scope of the project and the clients needs. It’s also pure creative work in that I don’t have to manage the project or client I am being hired to merely execute high level creative. In a nutshell I get work because others can’t draw and that is a good thing.

The following tutorial will walk you through such a project, a character design for Fanta soda to use in their Halloween promotion.

This tutorial covers such a project as I attempt to create an iconic representation of master pitch man Billy Mays.
