I really loved working on this project! My theme is baked sweet goods, because I'm a fan of those things. I love baking and illustrating food. This simplified style of sketching and coloring is super fun with this topic.
I don't have 30 illustrations yet, but I definitely intend to finish them (if you're interested, you can follow my Instagram to keep an eye and hold me accountable ;)
I also couldn't resist to add a movie still from The Avengers. I love James' movie illustrations and wanted to try one as well. I'm currently watching the Super Heroes movies in chronicle timeline order and maybe it'll become a new theme for the next 30 illustrations.

Teacher PlusGina!!! Thanks so much for submitting your work, these are amazing. And so sorry it's taken me this long so get this feedback to you.
I've just followed your instagram too, I'm loving the variety of work you've managed to get together. Baked treats is such a good theme for a sketchbook, all of these look delicioussss. It's amazing how the use of lighting can make something look so appetising. The highlights on the fruit elements make them look so fresh, it's a really impressive technique that you've achieved with so few colours. Your colour choices are really striking too, there's a great balance between sides of the colour wheel in all the pieces here. I'd never considered how good the contrast between turquoise and pink would look, but seeing it here it's so nice! I might have to give that a go myself actually.
Your composition here is really strong. Each piece showing the focal element clearly, while framing it with subtle perspective and additional objects like the fork to indicate that it's part of a dynamic scene, giving it a place in reality, without stealing focus. These are some really advanced techniques and they'll take you to some wonderful places as your work continues to grow.
I'm so happy you could be part of this course and I'm so excited to see all the new work you make on instagram going forward. Thanks so much for all of this!

@jameschapman Wow! Thank you for your elaborate reply. Very much appreciated. And the timing is great, because after finishing a Domestika project, I always fall a bit into a dip. So this is super motivating to get going again. Thank you!!
