Monthly drawterry illustration for May. Prompts used: rose, travel.

Like a lot of cartoonists, I love to hunker down in cafes with a tasty drink and my sketchbook so I’ve started doing a series of simple still life paintings of my drinks with little mermaids in them. I like to call them teamaids, though quite a few of them are coffee drinks as well 😉

So. This little merm actually meets the prompts for our monthly challenge because she’s a rose black tea with just a splash of milk, brewed in a plastic travel thermos. I’m really fond of how the color contrast turned out with the cool blue rim of the mug and the warm ocher color of the tea.
