One of my hobbies is mixing cocktails, so I thought it would be cool to have something like a menu people can look at and decide which cocktail they would like. So I thought it would be cool to have some graphics on there. I did some sketches by hand and decided that it would need some spicing it up and since I wanted to try creating vector art for quite a while now, the perfect moment to try it out had come.
I started out creating a cocktail glas with some cocktail-ish coloured "liquid" in it and a straw. The biggest challenge of it all was getting the glass to kind of look like glass. I didn't want to achieve a realistic look (and I guess I would have never been able to do that anyways.). I'm still not a hundred percent happy with it. Maybe some of you guys can give me some suggestions what I could do better on this one. What else to say... It's still missing ice cubes and an orange on the side. Well, just tell me what you think of it and I'm always happy to learn something new so don't hesitate giving me advice.
So long,
Felix
[EDIT]
I also did some cranberries for practice which I want to put next to the "Sex on the Beach" since Cranberry Juice is vital for this one
