food illustration
One of my favorite projects is creating illustrations of the fruits, vegetables and berries. This type of illustrations can be used for product labels (preserves, juices, jams), in various books (cooking, children's, nutrition) and promotional materials.
work process:
I usually start to create illustration of the food items from taking photos on the objects, for some simple objects I don't even need photo and create illustration just from my memory of the object or simply placing object on the table and drawing it the same way I would make a still-life painting. I use Adobe Illustrator without using any filters.
advice to clients:
Same illustration can be created in lots of different ways. It could be more or less realistic or decorative; it could be colorful or simple line drawing. Before hiring an illustrator, check his/her portfolio to see if you like the style and techniques used and also for samples of the style you like.
