re: From Sketch to Cake

What a nice theme Calli! Julez, that dragon is fantastic!!

I love sketching and have tried fiddling with Photoshop/iPad but in the end, I find the quickest and most comfortable way with the client is just regular old pen and paper.

Here’s an awesome wedding project I got to do a couple of weeks ago, for a couple sporting some lovely inks. We came up with this special way of displaying “Till death do us part” during their wedding cake tasting. I knew I wanted to mix 2D painting with 3D elements, such as the roses.

This is the rough sketch I drew at the consultation (details in German):

This is the first draft with more details, so I knew what I’d be doing. For the skull, I got inspired by Flickr member Fingerboardpass.

And finally, the finished cake:

I had a lot of fun making this one!
