So, this is this weeks entry for the Doodle a Week project I started on Flickr. In the mood for cakes and inspired by my little girls cup cake drawings she did a few months ago (which are on my bedroom room wall, there is NO room where her art is not featured), I present ‘Cupcake’. I am quite taken with the cup cake theme at the moment and have been looking a lot in confectionery windows, not only that, it’s a theme that everyone loves. Not just to drool, though that goes without saying, but also to take some shots, I as I want to do a series of digital illustrations around this theme. The common ‘cup cake’ has transcended itself and the varieties, colours and shapes are diverse indeed, almost too good to eat some of them. Why is it do you suppose that the image of a cupcake appeals to so many people? Is it the pretty colours, the roundness and texture, what it evokes. I just know that the more I look, the more cakes I see!! What about you?
That is an amazing drawing (both of them :)). Your stipping skills are very good, you must have so much patience.
