Food Illustration

A selection of food illustration pieces I created for personal projects and my community.

Avocado bowl and dumpling

Illustration of unusual food combinations - avocado, dorito, nori, corn.
Food bowl with some odd combinations of flavors.

Illustration of a wooden bowl, a can of “Coca Coca”, and a dumpling. The bowl has a mashup of food items such as slices of nori, a single dorito, a pile of corn, rice, bamboo shoots, avocado slices, and a red sauces. The dumpling is a pale cream color and is covered in the same sauce as the rest.

I painted those during a Twitch live stream, and my chat would pick random food items for us to add inside the bowl.

Can you identify all the veggies? The orange cubes are the most uncharacteristic ones, I believe. I painted them thinking about cooked pumpkin pieces.

Those two first illustrations were made in Paintstorm studio.

Krita’s RGBA brushes

The food illustration pieces below were painted to test Krita’s default set of RGBA brushes. They’re a great textured set introduced in version 5.0.2.

If you’re having issues with those same brushes, check if your painting is in 8-bit mode, such as in the image below.
