carrot cake with accessories

January 18th, 2006 | Category: Everyday Matters, Pen and Ink

There is a bookstore near where I work so I stopped in after work yesterday and got this carrot cake for the main purpose of drawing it. I was attracted to the layers and the nut encrusted icing. It was tasty too.

I have been really intrigued with drawing food items recently. I also had Everyday Matters Challenge #36 in mind (draw in public). I really don’t have an issue with drawing in public and I actually like the attention quite often. Most of the time, however, people just leave me alone, as in this case. Brown 01 Micron.

    Great illustration of the cake, it almost looks real, and does make me want to have one – pronto! And since one good deed deserves another, here’s a quote to tickle your funny bone for tickling my taste buds:
    Vegetables are a must on a diet. I suggest carrot cake, zucchini bread, and pumpkin pie. ~Jim Davis, “Garfield”

    I like the nutty texture you’ve created on the side of the cake. And the perspective is good too. It looks delicious. :o)
