#foodillustration

Haven’t worked on a self-initiated piece in so long! Finally finished these up after months of the sketch sitting in my paper drawer. I actually have a whole long list of things both strategic and creative that I’m wanting to challenge myself with, but life has had so many moving pieces lately, so what I really needed to do was just sit down and get lost in a drawing with lots of details. I ended up keeping it more stylized and less realistic because my main goal was to have fun and loosen up. I came up with the composition first (the swoopy shape and the rough number/placement of berries and leaves) then incorporated about 10 different reference images to fit that composition. This was the last thing I painted in my home studio. Haven’t actually done any painting in the new studio yet, but that’ll happen soon!
Hope everyone is having a good week so far!
