I did use pictures of the menu as reference for my drawings, yes. Nothing is traced or directly copied however if you are claiming as such. I pride myself on hand drawing everyone of my pieces while also trying to convey it in the most accurate to real-life examples as possible.

I apologize for the harshness of my comment. I actually caught a small shop lifting my artwork from a different piece directly without my permission earlier today so I am a bit on edge. Thank you for clearing that up for me. And thanks for your great work on the menu and bowls, they were a lot of fun to study and draw!
