Another relatively simple one! After really struggling and getting frustrated with the froggy cake from the previous day, I just wanted something simple to settle back into. This worked really well for that!
Daily Dessert - Froggy Matcha & Strawberry Cake
This one was incredibly frustrating to do… I wanted to challenge myself by painting a green dessert since I know I struggle with that, but I somehow forgot that I was already challenging myself to daily drawings so the pressure was already high.
I’m really happy with the concept of this one, I just think that I could’ve painted it better! It’s been really popular on social media though so at least my struggle wasn’t entirely in vain!! I would like to revisit this in the future and see if I can make a version I’m happier with.
Daily Dessert - Blackberry Muffin
Here’s day two of my self-imposed drawing challenge, a blackberry muffin! I wanted to keep this one relatively simple to avoid burning myself out with daily drawings, I do really like it’s simplicity though and it’s nice to remind myself that not every illustration I do needs to be incredibly intricate.
I’m particularly happy with how I painted the berries and the muffin casing here, I also quite like the vibrancy of the buttercream! If I was to work on this one again I think I would re-work the shadow as it doesn’t look quite right to me, I think it needs to be darker at the very base of the muffin, and perhaps extended more to the outer edges? Finished is better than striving for perfection though, so I’m content with the way it is for now!
