Adobe Live: Hot Pot Lettering

I created this lettering piece during a live stream event with Adobe on Behance. Drawing inspiration from a favorite dish (hot pot!), this spicy and steamy artwork was hand lettered and illustrated in Adobe Fresco.

Watch the replay to see the process and learn some tips and tricks on brainstorming, composition, and adding color.

The audience contributed ideas for what food illustrations to include. I chose to focus on the word play for “hot” and added in steam, chili, and a little spice to the copy. Drippy soup and sriracha were the inspiration for the lettering styles.
