Image of eight decorated tea cups filled with different varieties of tea, combined with lettering of each tea name and mood. — This tea illustration combines eight different types of tea in pretty illustrated tea cups, and uses lettering to describe each tea name and tea quality.

The Brief: To create an illustration about foods that recharge or re-energize me for the They Draw and Cook Play along January 2022 challenge.

Role: Illustrator responsible for concept, design, and implementation of all lettering and illustration.

Tools Used: Procreate app, iPad Pro, Apple pencil.

Created to celebrate my love of tea and to respond to a prompt from the They Draw and Cook website, this tea-themed illustration was created to highlight some of my favorite teas and their qualities. Aiming to combine both pretty patterns on tea cups and a range of lettering styles, this illustration was created both as individual images for each tea variety, and as a whole image to suit the They Draw prompt. Perfect for a tea brand and to highlight my love of a good cuppa, these images are a true tea-lover’s delight.
