My new found love - food illustration

In lockdown one, I started doing a daily drawing session with my son. Following prompts from @artfulbox we drew everything from sea creatures and camels to fruit and rocks. It brought us a moment of meditative peace each afternoon, and I rediscovered the absolute joy of drawing.

I enjoyed it so much that I haven’t stopped, even as normal busy life has resumed. I don’t do it on a daily basis, but I try to schedule time in my week to have a little doodle. I soon realised that what I love to draw above all else is food - no surprises there, I guess - and discovering vibrant paint pens was a game changer.

The Guild of Food Writers’ (of which I am a member) has been using my illustrations in their monthly newsletter for some time now. And after much persuasion, I am getting eight of my designs printed onto greetings cards. But which eight? Do you have any favourites? Leave me a comment below, or let me know what you’d like me to attempt next.
