Recently I have come across several recipe illustrations in Pinterest and they all look so fabulous and artistic. Since I am setting up the kitchen in our new apartment I decided to create a mojito recipe illustration for myself and I decided to document the process in a step by step tutorial which will be helpful for you to create a lovely colourful illustration of your favourite food or drink perfect to pep up your kitchen wall.
