I went with tortilla chips. This was done without reference. I was going to add a bowl of salsa or something but decided to keep it simple.

Chocolate milk, because why not?

I spent a long time trying to get the perspective of the carton right and realized after that I had ignored everything I’ve learned about horizon lines and all that jazz. It doesn’t look too dopey, at least.

I’m not sure why I added gum gum people, but I think they add a certain something.

I chose pizza even though I’ve already done pizza. I was originally going to do a pizza sitting in a shaft of light on a stone pedestal, then realized that’s way beyond my current skill level, so I just did it against a glowy background instead.

I was going to make the pepperoni more 3Dish but couldn’t get it to look right.

Once again, a food topic where I don’t really have a favorite, so I went with grilled cheese, because a good grilled cheese sandwich is indeed yummy.

I went with chalk brushes for this one. It turned out decent, I think.

SO TIRED OF DRAWING FOOD.

I chose pancakes, though I could have included a lot of things here. Technically these should be blueberry pancakes but I didn’t feel like adding the blueberries.

I also used a texture brush for the funky background and turned some sloppy line work into an intentionally arty white outline. Yeah.

Finally, a prompt that isn’t a single item of food. But I still was uninspired, so went with a minimalist Inktober-ish approach.

I didn’t want to draw a bowl of soup, so I made a can of tomato soup instead.

From reference, though I altered a few details (I skipped the tomatoes, for one), cartoon-style burger and fries because trying to do them realistically is not something I could manage in ten minutes. Or probably ten hours right now.

I didn’t feel like drawing a proper salad, so ended up with this:

I was going for a more stylized taco thinger here and only indirectly used reference. I’m not sure I like the results, but it was an interesting experiment.

I tried a few different brushes but was pretty uninspired tonight. I like California rolls but drawing sushi isn’t exactly something on my bucket list.
