Another slice of cake
A capsule of whimsical isometry; wild orchid accounting; and cake obviously
A while ago, I shared an example of my “cheesecake” illustration style. My style is a cross between the isometric style, popularly applied to drawing miniature 3D rooms, and the whimsical style that conveys the feeling of freedom you get from a fresh walk on a river bank or flying a kite on a hill in the country park.
They compose well into infographics, especially infographics involving cake.
This one is an extract from a larger drawing which documented a super excursion in Austria with a great group of work-friends.
And below is the earlier post which was a sketch that I made at work as a conservationist in a chalk gorge — an old quarry where thousands of wild orchids now grow under careful wilderness management.
Every year we count the orchids — yes, we actually do — as well as counting the bees, butterflies, glowworms, pond-life, and wildflowers.
Like chalk and cheese
I like beautiful landscape, and I am quite partial to a good cheesecake. Therefore it makes sense to paint a landscape as a cheesecake, don’t you agree? I call this style “cheesecake illustration”, and it’s a favourite style of mine to share a capsule of feeling about a place.
