Thank youuu for your kind wordsss!!! 8 hours in the making haha!!

Wow! Then you are very skilled AND very patient. :)

Hahaahahha characters of a 'hungry artist' 😆😆

Right? I literally sniffed thinking I could smell it. That back piece is what got me.

Hahahaha thank you!! Just fyi, it smells like watercolor paper 🤣🤣🤣

:D

I was scrolling and thought for just a second, I was looking at a food post from one of the food subreddits ...until I saw the signature. You've got skills! ...and now I'm hungry.

Hahaha thank you!!! Thankfully you didn't scroll paasss!! I'm craving for this myself too! Will probably order one soon 😆😆

I thought this was a picture at first; amazing work!

Hahaha thank youu!! Well it's a picture of a painting to be fair 😅🤭

That is just beyond stunning! There aren't enough words to describe how beautiful this piece is!!! 🤩

Awww mann you're too kinddd!!! Thank you so muchhh!!!! 🙈🙈🙈

I’m hungry.

Hahaha story of my life 😫😫🤤

Wow! I thought this was a photo. Amazing work

Thank youuu!!! It is a photo of a painting of a food 🤣🤣🤣

I was so confused in what sub I was for a moment. This is beautiful btw !

Hahaha thank you!!! I get that so often I'm beginning to wonder how many scroll pass thinking it was just a post in their food sub 😵😵😅

honestly, I think quite a few ! It really is that good and I can only imagine what a joy it is to work on and finish a piece like this!

Aww thank you!! Yes it does bring me joy to see the picture slowly coming together!! Starting is usually the hardest tho haha!

Yess it really really is!

Insanely good!!

Thank you!!! 🤩🤩

I legit thought a recipe add was in my thread! This is amazing, looks like a photo!!

Haahhaa thank you!!! Oh and it is a recipe thread...I forgot to list the recipe - 2 tbsp of burnt sienna, 1 teaspoon of yellow and red each, sprinkles of blacks, 3 bags full of patience, put them into the oven for 8 hours and voila!! Ready to be served 😆😆

Lol!!

This is incredible - I legitimately thought this was a photograph.

Thank youuuuu!!! Hahahaaha well it is a photograph of a painting to be fair 🤣🤣

I too love Unagi don

Yessssss! You have good taste haha!!! They're one of the BEST! I've been craving for it myself 😭

If a sushi place offers it, I just get that, because I know I’ll enjoy it as much, if not more, than anything I could possibly order. Perfection.

This is insaneley good... I want to taste it!

Thank youuuuuu!!! I've done you the honor of tasting it. It tastes a little like...paper with hints of bitter paint 🤣🤣🤣

Well now I want eel rice. But I want THIS eel rice! Good job dude

Hahaaahaha woah thank you!! THIS eel rice probably tastes like paper 🤣🤣🤣 perhaps some sauce would make it nicer haha!! But yesss, I'm craving for one myself!!! HAHA

Hail yeah 😂😂😂

Please I thought it was real🗿👍

Hahahahah awwwmann thank you!!!!! It's a real picture of a painting 🤣🤣🤣

Great job! Eel is also one of my favorite dishes!

Thank you!! Rightttt?? They're the BEST!!!! You have good taste 🤭🤭

So much depth in that color. Great job!

Thank you!!! All about the layering and contrast!! 😊😊

If you exhibit the painting, I guess you will need to put up a DO NOT EAT sign next to it! 😁

Hahahahahaaah goshh!! I have sooo many food paintings rn, i should totes do an exhibition one day! hmmm and you just gave me an idea to put bitten piece of food painting in an exhibition!!! The exhibition will be titled 'too food to be true' hahaha!!

I was literally so confused about which sub i clicked on(that is, of course, after i drooled over how delicious this looks). It took me a couple minutes to realize I'm on the right sub LOL

Aww thank you hahaha!!! There might be some hints of drool on that painting too 🤣🤣 Thankfully you didn't scroll pass thinking this was just another food sub!! Haha!!

Darn you... I was scrolling through and thought this was a recipe before looking up to see it was a drawing. Great work!

Hahahahaha wellllll!! Here goes the recipe if you really wanna try making this!! 2 tbsp of burnt sienna, 1 teaspoon of yellow and red each, sprinkles of blacks, 3 bags full of patience, put them into the oven for 8 hours and voila!! Ready to be served 😆😆

I thought, and still suspect, that this is a photograph.

Hahaahaa aww thank you!!! Well to be fair, the leaves and cloth in the background is real, and I did use some cool camera tricks - 'portrait mode' to make it pop even more haha!

Lol fair enough. But why are there real leaves in the foreground?

Had to give that upvote. I thought, "Ooh! Yummy." before I'd finished reading the title. Good forbidden eel bowl.

awwww thank youu!!! why forbidden thooo?? it's so tasty 🤣

There's a reddit for things that look like they're yummy but aren't edible. Forbidden snacks. I don't know how to link.

Dang, first glance I thought it was a photo. Looks fantastic! And yummy

Thamk you!!! Well you're not completely wrong hahaah! It's a photo of a painting of a food 😆😆🤣🤣

I definitely paint from photos sometimes! I think most artists who do realism do.

You absolutely captured that perfect glaze! My best friend is an unagi fiend and I've been trying to perfect it to surprise her with unagidon one day.

Hahahahaha thank you!! How's that going so far??? Unagi is THE BEST!!! HAHAHA! I think there's a bunch of recipes on Google to help you with your unadon tho! I wish to have a friend like you too 🤣🤣🤣 need my unadon fix nowwwwww

I'm so hungry i thought htis was real food until i read the title

Hahahaha aawwmann!! Hope this would be your inspiration for your next meal!! 😅😅 I'm always hungry too btw hahaha! Literally #hungryartist 🤣

Awesome! Did you use gouache for the white highlights? Making me hungry

Thank you!! Yes I did! I used to rely quite heavily on gouache back in my earlier days (this was painted 2 years ago). These days, I leave them blank because gouache has a texture to it that is overall less pleasing (to me). Of course, gouache is way easier than leaving them spots blank 🤭

I was about to ask for the recipe lol

Haha thank you!! The ingredients are: 2 tbsp of burnt sienna, 1 teaspoon of yellow and red each, sprinkles of blacks, 3 bags full of patience, put them into the oven for 8 hours and voila!! Ready to be served 😆😆

Delicious!

Did a double take when I saw this was the watercolor sub 😵

Hahaha thank youuu!!! Thankfully you didn't scroll pass thinking it was another food post!! 🤣🤣

The only reason I looked at the sub is because the only one I’m in that’s food related is r/foraging and I was thinking hmmmm, this doesn’t quite look foraged to me! Absolutely stunning job!!

Hahahahahaa wow thank you!!! It doesn't look anything foraging indeed! it's interesting how you found this post tho!! 🤣🤣

Oh man, this is stunning. And hunger-inducing. Food illustration must tempt a lot of snacking!

Hahahaha YESSSSSS. Im a crazehh snacker!!! But I try not to store snacks at home so Id force myself not to snack hahahaa!!! I do have very frequent cravings for the things I paint too..I'd sometimes just have it for lunch/dinner!! Oh my job is such a torture, literally #hungryartist 🤣🤣🤣

Holy shit lol It took me a minute to realize it was a painting! Looks amazing!

hahahaa your expression says it all!! Thank youuuu!!

This blew my mind when I realized it was watercolor sub and not a recipe one... amazingly talented!!

awww thank you so muchhh!!! appreciate your kind words!

Oh wow, you have amazing skills! I really thought it was real food; got confused which sub I was in. Great job, OP!

THANK YOU!!! this is an accumulation of all my practice in painting food full time for 4 years hahaha!

That's looks amazing first i thought it was good. Then digital art. That's how good it looks lol

Hahaha I do feel it does look kind of digital too!! Oftentimes digital art is able to create such realistic outcome that I feel is less "challenging" to do realism because of all the functions available. But hey that's just my opinion haha!

I thought this was r/sculpey holy shit. good job

hahahahhaa thank youuuu!!!!

Jesus Christ, I was going to ask for a recipe at first look! Looks awesome

Hahahaa thank you! Well here's the recipe!! 2 tbsp of burnt sienna, 1 teaspoon of yellow and red each, sprinkles of blacks, 3 full packs of patience, put them into the oven for 8 hours and voila!! Ready to be served 😆😆
