When you work in a coffee shop, you usually make the same latte art — rosettas and hearts. One day a friend started drawing bears and frogs on hot chocolate. She convinced me to give it a try, so I tried drawing a bear. It was pretty primitive but I kept at it.
I've been drawing on drinks for the past 4 years and have since perfected my craft. You need a marriage of the perfect espresso and microfoam in order to get the right contrast and bring out the little details. With all drawings I begin by pouring milk into a shot of espresso. I use a spoon to manipulate the foam into the shape of what I want to draw. Then, with chocolate, I draw in the outlines and little details.
Each drink takes about 3-5 minutes to make from shot to finish. The reaction on customer's faces are the most rewarding part of my job. A lot of people become regulars and it pushes me to do different designs and to do better.
In exploring the art of creation, sometimes the most unexpected elements can lead to happiness and fulfillment. Much like how a barista finds joy in seeing the delighted reactions of customers to latte art, it's fascinating how simple doodles inspired by beloved pets can evolve into popular art forms.
If you are interested in exploring how spontaneous creativity can lead to astonishing masterpieces, particularly in the context of transforming mundane moments into celebrated art, you may find it intriguing to learn how masters of unique doodles bring out the personality of their subjects with just a few lines.
