A moment of fika (icon commission timelapse and wips) (Patreon)

A very cozy icon commission from last month! I have noticed that the clearer my vision of the desired outcome is, the more stages of trial and error it takes me to get there - but honestly that is a huge part of the fun!

I'm not entirely sure if I have talked about it here but I'm actually unable to picture things in my mind, so the "clear" image I'm referring to is more like an abstract combination of atmosphere and composition (kind of like blurry shapes, in rare cases colors). I guess I'm telling you this because here you can see how I tried different elements and colors before I got to the point that matched this feeling I knew I wanted this cozy afternoon coffee scene to portray.

Here are some wip stages of the process! :)
