Strawberry Afternoon Tea

This was such a fun commission to work on! It was my first time offering food illustration as a commission and I got really lucky with having such a sweet client with a really cute idea!!

The client wanted three illustrations with an afternoon tea theme and for the food in these to go through the stages of being eaten. So the first being a full plate and cup, the second being half-eaten, and then the third being empty.

I hadn’t made food illustrations that looked like they had been partially eaten before so it was a challenge but I think it works so well and it’s such a fun concept!

I’m delighted to announce that I am now offering food illustrations as part of my regular commissions! If you would like me to draw a dessert for you then head over to my commission page for more information!

Daily Dessert - Strawberry Pudding

We started with strawberries and we’re finishing with strawberries! They’re my favourite fruit to draw, if you haven’t guessed that already!

This was a really fun one to work on, the heart shaped dessert cup just makes it effortlessly adorable. I’m super happy with how I painted the strawberries in this one, I like all the subtle colour shifts where the lighting affects it. Also pretty pleased with the subtle texture and shading on the surface of the pudding too!

Daily Dessert - Pumpkin Cheesecake

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!
