One More Drink for the Summer?

I vectored a tropical drink this time! I know I don't like summer as much as others, but I do like cool fruity drinks (preferably non-alcoholic). Anyway, here's one for the summer!

Out of all the drinks I found on Google, I really liked this one the most because it was very colourful. I'm really happy with the gradient used for the liquid because it has that "passionate taste" look to it. I'm really pleased with the fruit hanging from the rim as well. The gradient effect worked wonderfully with the pear and cherry.

If you look closely there's a hint of ice inside the drink. Just two little blocks. Most of the light sections on the glass are ever so slightly blurred. Finally, I lowered the opacity on the white shapes. I'm very happy with this result!

It's Summer Time!

I felt like ice cream because it's summer and it's gotten bloody hot this year (so far). Then I figured I'd vector a cute little ice cream banner/theme/logo (or whatever you would like to call it). It was actually very fun. I had to experiment with a few colours first before I was satisfied.

I then altered the ice cream picture just a little. My friend mentioned that it would suit the summer theme if I added glasses. So I did, and it turned out to be pretty awesome.

In addition to that, I made one with silly faces. At least they're happy being eaten, right? Hopefully it warms up soon (and my cold disappears). I can't wait to devour the mint chocolate chip and cookies n' cream ice cream in my freezer!
