Recently I have come across several recipe illustrations in Pinterest and they all look so fabulous and artistic. Since I am setting up the kitchen in our new apartment I decided to create a mojito recipe illustration for myself and I decided to document the process in a step by step tutorial which will be helpful for you to create a lovely colourful illustration of your favourite food or drink perfect to pep up your kitchen wall.
Recently I have come across several recipe illustrations in Pinterest and they all look so fabulous and artistic. Since I am setting up the kitchen in our new apartment I decided to create a mojito recipe illustration for myself and I decided to document the process in a step by step tutorial which will be helpful for you to create a lovely colourful illustration of your favourite food or drink perfect to pep up your kitchen wall.
Get the recipe for your favourite food / drink from the internet.Count the number of steps in your recipe and accordingly divide the page into sections as shown above with a pencil.
Now lets start with the illustration. For every step of the recipe let us create simple elements.
Once you are done with the sketching of the elements , go ahead to add colors one at a time to each element.
Next, let us create the header for the recipe illustration. Please choose a waterproof pen such a Micron pen to prevent smudging when we later create a watercolor layering over it.
To write the steps of the recipe I have drawn some straight lines using a ruler prior to writing as I want the letters to be in line with prefect slant.
To make the whole recipe illustration look even more appealing, I gently stroked over the recipe steps and the header with lemon yellow pigment.
Here’s the final version of my Mojito cocktail recipe illustration. So what are you waiting for!! Grab your favourite recipe and create a wonder of your own.
