Bacon Croissant
Drawing and pasting your food illustrations into a journal is a creative way to capture the "tiny sparks of happiness" in your daily life
1/22/2026


I started by using different shades of brown and yellow to sketch the croissant, paying attention to its crisp, flaky exterior that breaks into buttery golden pieces. Using several colors of red was important to represent the smoky bacon, with its salty, rich taste. And for tangy sour cream, I used light yellow and white to add a smooth, creamy touch that pairs well with red bacon and a crispy brown croissant. As usual, drawing these flavors reminded me of that perfect, crunchy bite.
A bacon croissant is a tasty, savory snack with lots of textures and strong flavors. Croissant has a crisp, golden crust and a soft, flaky inside with a buttery taste. The salty bacon inside can be chewy or crunchy, adding a smoky flavor to each bite. Adding cool, tangy sour cream or melted cheese makes it even richer and brings together savory and sweet flavors.
.*Materials I used for this journaling:
Friction ball point pens from Pentel.
0.5 felt pens.
Crayola color pencils.
Cutouts from the magazines.
Print-out of my drawing.
Soy latte
Every now and then, I mention how drawing your favorite foods can be fun and help you relax. This time, I decided to try drawing a bacon and croissant.
Drawing your favorite food in a journal is also rewarding because:
Preserving Memories: Sketching food helps you "capture and remember experiences" more vividly than a photo might, acting as a valuable record of both travel adventures and everyday meals like your bacon croissant.
Practicing Mindfulness: The act of drawing requires close observation of forms, colors, and textures, which encourages mindfulness and a deeper appreciation for what you consume.
Creative Expression: Pasting a physical drawing adds a tactile, artistic layer to your journal, transforming it into a "visual narrative" or scrapbook that is more engaging to look back on.
