Project background
Although I work as a graphic designer and illustrator, I decided to make postcards of my hobby - cooking. I took an inspiration from an old illustrated cooking book I found in my grandma library. After I did my illustration job, I added some handwritten notes.

I drew some words to represent my cooking. I used pen brush - I really like this tool. It was quite cheap, I found it in some store in children department, it is some marker, but I dipped it into ink and it works absolutely perfect for lettering
