Day of the Dead Cuisine

Digital illustration and visual essay that details the artist's complete creative process, using the gastronomy of Día de Muertos—their favorite Mexican tradition—as the core subject. The narrative deconstructs the piece from its inception: from the initial brainstorming and reference gathering, through the meticulous layers of composition, hierarchy, and real-time corrections. It showcases the evolution of the drawing as elements are added or discarded, concluding with the color palette selection and the application of the artist's signature textures. Through this behind-the-scenes look, the work highlights how the colors, aromas, and elements of this seasonal cuisine serve as the ultimate representation of Mexican identity and heritage across its various states.
