Messy soup, 2019
For this project the teacher asked us to illustrate a recipe of our choice. One of my favorite dishes is veggie soup, I could literally eat it everyday nowadays but it wasn't always like that... when I was a child I thought I didn't like soup and I was really stubborn to eat it.
As the project proposal gave us a lot of freedom, I thought it would be interesting to illustrate the soup recipe in a less literal and funny way so that it becomes more appealing to children. Inspired by the visuals of EYEYAH, a Singaporean social enterprise that uses the power of creativity to teach children social issues, I developed my illustration based on strong colors, thick outlines and funny scenarios of living vegetables and messy cookers, simulated on the size of a double-page magazine. The black and white version of the illustration was created so that it can be painted by children.
