3. Pizza
Everyone’s favorite! Not only can you draw the finished meal, but why not show all the ingredients that went into it as well. Real Brush pens bring out the juicy red and green tomatoes and basil.
4. Hamburger
Two all-beef patties on a sesame seed bun with fries is an all-American classic. Here burger drawing is rendered in exacting detail using colored pencils. The tough part is waiting to eat while you draw, so take a photo first and draw it later.
5. Bacon & Eggs
The frying pan looks happy to heat up the morning’s breakfast in this fun illustration. By emphasizing the fire, the artist helps us imagine the smell of the bacon and the sizzling sound while it cooks.
6. Croissants
Ah, the buttery goodness of flaky croissants, captured in their baked perfection with EverBlend markers.
7. Sketchbook Meal
Don’t stop at one page. Take advantage of both sides to show all the elements of one meal. This bullet journal entry uses RealBrush pens to invite us to the table.
8. Hot Diggety Dot
Another American classic using EverBlend markers. These glistening dogs look like they came right off the grill.
9. Bakery
Bakery items come in so many different shapes, sizes, and colors, it’s hard not to want to paint these tasty treats. Next time you’re visiting a bakery, take along watercolors and a water brush. It’s a great excuse to order more than one pastry!
