Cooking-related illustrations for a friend!
My friend asked me to do some illustrations for her
university course’s final year ideas to raise money for their final
show. She is on a costume design course in London and my friend and her
coursemates are putting together their own recipe book so these
illustrations will be for the final book.
I was happy to do it, as I enjoy drawing the costumes from the related eras shown here.
The first image shows the rough ideas I sketched out with the reference material given. Then after my friend had chosen the ones she liked (with her coursemates’ feedback too) I cleaned up the drawings and did some very basic colouring.
I really enjoyed drawing the last two (the flapper girl and the 1950s woman) as I absolutely adore the two eras. They were SO fun to draw. I really want to do more, especially 50s style.
I was pushed for time to get these done by the end, so the oven in the 1950s one is traced (I know, the shame!) from this image here: http://www.memorystore.org.uk/_images/gadgetsPics/largepopup/cooker1950s.jpgTHANKS GOOGLE IMAGES *WINK*
Once the book is printed I will be sent a copy, so cannot wait to see it! I’ll have to take a photo and upload it here.
I really hope they raise the money. I know from my university course experience last year how challenging it is for the whole year to club together to raise enough money to put on a good show! Go guys!

1920s Bride.. Photoshop Practise
I'm currently trying to find my style through a different range of mediums, from Photoshop to watercolours to colour pencils.
So here are the work-in-progress images as well as the final one for a 1920s style Bride.
I may be working on some wedding invitations for a family friend soon, so want to try and find a way of colouring that suits me.
This piece was really fun to work on. I loved working on all the details; the lace, headband and bouquet in particular.
I made the brush too. I got the default hard round brush and adjusted the hardness and spacing to make the imperfect edge which is a favourite style I see in other illustrators artwork. I'll need to develop a few more though.
As I didn't plan the background, it's very simple, but I will definitely plan the backgrounds in the future. I definitely prefer a minimalist style to backgrounds, but definitely need to practise spacial backgrounds with depth, perspective and objects.
