New Year’s Nibbles
‘When searching for a good-looking New Year’s party food to draw, I felt that sushi, with its refined artistry, fitted the bill. I began by drawing shapes to suggest colourful plates to display each piece on. A contrasting jet black background set them all off, and the intricate details of rice, sesame seeds, garnishes and seaweed wraps were gradually drawn on top to replicate the precision and multi-layered tastes of these bite-sized Japanese mouthfuls.’
