About This Class

Food connects us.

No matter where we come from, what language we speak, or the continent we live on - it’s a universal fixation where strangers can find common ground. 

I used to look at these beautifully crafted recipes which looked as beautiful as their dishes and wonder how could I convert my scribbled recipe notes into something beautiful.

There are a lot of reasons to illustrate a recipe -

  • One can create unique artworks for the kitchen and dining areas.
  • One can preserve well-treasured family recipes and keep them for memory's sake.
  • One could also compile all the journals to create a cookbook.

This class is to share my journey with you and also share the tips and tricks which could help you take notes ( recipes or anything) in a more visual manner. After all the saying goes "A picture is worth a thousand words".

1. Introduction : Hi, I'm I'm I'm just an institute her. I love you. And the thing I also like journaling, it has been a practice that I've been doing. And recipe journaling is a part of it. I like documenting the dishes that I like to go on has been masked out to me by somebody it is. Today, I'm hungry, make principally Germans. There's hundreds are basically visual documentation of recipes of any desk. It includes all the smaller details like ingredients, processes, could be day, though institutions for the dish. So ambitious may have included a playground, holiday season, or special occasion. And then there are other issues which are passed down for generations. And as John allows us plenty of space to tell a story before. 2. Class Project: For the class project, we are going to illustrate one recipe of our choice. The recipe has to be something that is written out on a piece of paper, or it could be passed down vocally. You need not have a commercially available recipe. It would be best if we could have a family secret recipe that we are ready to share with all. 3. Getting Started : Welcome to today's class. We can choose a digital medium like a Wacom tablet or an iPad, or a physical medium like a drawing book. I personally love food, but would be using an iPad and Procreate for this class. The first step would be finding a recipe that you would love to work on. The second step would be disintegrating the recipe that is writing out all the ingredients, processes, unnecessary details on people. We start with browsing through different layouts for the SciPy journals. Give us a good idea about what kind of allele can we use to illustrate our dish? Arranging the composition would include a central piece for the dish, ingredients around it, and also some details about the ingredients and processes. We can choose a style of illustration that we would want to do. It could be of the style with loosely drawn elements and with a watercolor effect. We could also choose a more illustrative and block colored states. Full color palette. We can choose the image and set the primary, secondary and accent colors. Before starting the process. I have met me the image that I would read up funding to using the color wheel, I am choosing the primary, secondary and accent color. If you are using physical medium, you can choose the right colors by selecting the colors of the image, finding the best fit for each from your color pencils, crayons, or by just mixing of colors. 4. Basic Layout & Adding Elements: We start with drawing a red ball or played at the center of the people. He could also put it in a corner. The act very basic boxes around the central piece. The boxes could be indicative of our elements and hence, we need an approximate number depending upon the risk. Once the boxes are done with a very light hand, we can start adding the elements for the recipe we have taken here. I start with the roughly sketching out the cucumbers. I move on to adding other elements in the composition like spring onion, radish, garlic, and amines. Also for the processes on ingredients, I leave some dedicated empty space. Also for the processes on ingredients, I leave some dedicated empty space. 5. Colouring It Out: Keeping the layout with all elements as base layer, we start drawing the real ingredients. You could Js or use darker strokes if using a physical medium. This is the most exciting part of the process that we start seeing every element in much more detail and depth. The recipe starts becoming a Life. Vi have already set our color palette, and now we would put it into use as V start the process. We could choose different hues of the same color as long as we do not deviate much from the ballot. The stock exchanges shadows and tiny details to each of the elements. Okay? Adding tiny details is the key, both in cooking and then hot. Don't stress much on making it up. Bullshit composition. The whole process is about having fun while you're at it. So just over the flow and enjoy the process. Okay, I love drawing garlic. Then need so minimal effort yet add so much detail to the overall composition. You can now start adding all the text for the ingredients and the processes in the dedicated empty spaces. You could use hand lettering or choose to have your own handwritten notes. It is helpful if you can have a copy of the recipe in front of you while you're writing the ingredients and processes. If you are working with a physical medium, you can have a print out of the recipe. I'm walking with their digital medium at the image of the recipe to your workspace. Once you are done with adding the bag, you can add more details. I have added a bad off wooden spoons and uncheck good to give a little more realistic feel to the whole composition. 6. Final Image & Note of Thanks: We are now done and ready to slay him out artwork. I hope you have as much fun doing the class project, as much I had creating this class for you. Thank you.
