The idea of a sweets cafe, or a bakery, came to me when I was thinking up an environment illustration with some of my characters. I had the idea of a couple of people at a cafe table, eating sweets and chatting away.
I decided, to start off the illustration, I would design out the furniture. The first furniture I brainstormed out, was the chair. I figured the chair would be more important, between the chair and table. Afterwards, I wanted to plan out the layout of the cafe, before working on the illustration piece.
