Mangana Café – Food Illustration Study

This piece is a digital still life study inspired by a café setting, focusing on everyday food and beverage elements.

The goal of this study was to explore color harmony, material rendering, and lighting—particularly the interaction between transparent surfaces, liquids, and soft baked textures. I focused on simplifying shapes while maintaining recognizable forms, using painterly brushwork to suggest detail rather than over-rendering.

This work is part of an ongoing series of observational and stylized studies aimed at improving visual clarity, composition, and surface treatment in digital illustration.
