Watercolour and pencil crayon illustration by Grace Lee with cinnamon sticks, two small pumpkins and a dish with pumpkin roll cake with cream filling and a fork.

This isn’t my favourite drawing from TheyDrawTober. I had to really force myself to press on and do this one. (I’ve never even heard of a pumpkin roll before!) But while I was drawing this one, it made me think back to the chocolate or vanilla swiss rolls that my grandmother would bring home from the chinese bakery for afternoon “tea time”. Yes tea time – a product of my family being from British colonial Hong Kong.

Here is the next set from the TheyDrawTober series:

Watercolour and pencil crayon illustration by Grace Lee with jars of spices, beer and pretzel, autumn salad, acorn squash, donut with pink frosting and white sprinkles, three red apples and one green apple, chai tea with cinnamon, cloves, star anise and spices, ginger slices, chicken noodle soup in bowl with spoon.
