Sriracha, Then/NowThe 2013 piece was another of my earliest food illustrations, and my very first piece to make it to the Tumblr Radar. I remember being absolutely knocked over at the time. Similar to the 2013 Bonne Maman piece, this 2013 sriracha felt a bit self conscious to work on. I was really trying to give it a carefree, painterly look and didn’t want to focus on proportions or perspective at the time. I used mostly watercolor pencil, with just a little bit of colored pencil to finish. For the 2019 version, I used my typical watercolor + colored pencil process, but I found working on this piece to be quite tedious. In 2013, I added the white writing on top with gel pen, but for 2019 I painted around the white writing which was ☠️☠️☠️. In the end, because of using the heat pad and ending up with lots of soft colored pencil, I opted to go for a bit of a looser, more textural look, which is kind of ironic as it does have some similarities with the 2019 version. With this one, I was so tight and focused for so long, that by the time I go to the end, loosening up felt really good. -- source link
