First date custom illustration

My latest assignment was to produce an illustration for a very sweet couple, a momento to capture their very first date. The boyfriend will be going abroad for a year to pursue his studies and the girlfriend wanted something special and meaningful for him to keep by his side. As this is a surprise gift, I will not be posting the end product here until it has been given to him :) But I would like to share the photos which were sent to me for reference.

I was really excited the moment I saw the photos as I love drawing intricate details with so many things going on at the same time. Also, as this was a place of paramount significance to the both of them, it is important that I captured it right without diluting the focus on the two of them, of course including the drinks they had ( she drank ice coffee while he drank 'some blue drink').

Stay tuned for the final illustration!
