Foodie Illustration: Drawing Your Favorite Holiday Recipe

In this class, we’ll getting in the holiday spirit and drawing our favorite holiday recipes! One of the questions I hear most from my students is some form of: 

So in this class, not only will we dive into our memories and holiday nostalgia, but I’m also going be focusing on the DECISIONS I make in my process. To do that, I’m going to take you through my step-by-step process of illustrating a text-based recipe, stream of consciousness style.

This class was basically made as a live stream, with me designing, drawing, and working while talking though each step. 

We’ll go from a text box full of words and a blank Photoshop file, to organizing the text, planning the composition, sketching the recipe, inking the sketches, and making final refinements. You’ll see what I did, and hear why I did it at every step.

I’ll be using Photoshop and Procreate on my iPad Pro, but these basic concepts and steps are the same no matter what tools you use, so feel free to use whatever you like best!

Ok! So let’s get into that holiday spirit and start drawing some food!
