Digital donuts

Maybe I was craving donuts? Using the sketchbook app on my cell phone, I created some artistic renditions of everyone's favorite pastry. In this example, a "Homer Simpson" style donut with pink icing and colourful sprinkles was created with a variety of brushes, airbrushes, and texture stamps. The night's sky was created from spray paint and speckle textures, along with my knowledge of what colours compose a night sky. Its an impactful piece of art work, just one big hole in it.

Using neon brush tool I created a digital donut with illuminated sprinkles and a circuit-board like background. Even in the future we have donuts!

Going for a dark icing with art deco touches, this delectable donut jumps of the screen. Contrasting pastel tones with earthy donut texture and fluorescent highlights made for a striking image.

Taking a turn for abstract, here is a pop art, cubist approach to a donut, or maybe its a magnification of sprinkles?

Finally, a cherry cake with icing, sprinkles and frosting details. The cherries were made with several stamping layers, brush work, and a highlight effect. If you zoom in, there is lots of texture in this one.
