Razzles

Razzles, a 2-in-1 candy, was first sold in 1966, offering a raspberry flavored hard candy that surprisingly turned into chewing gum. The company’s goal of launching the product with the flavor “razzleberry” fell through and today, Razzles offers a range of tropical fruit flavors and sour lime. As a subject for hyperrealism, the package and candies posed some challenges. While the lego-type candy discs are featured fairly large on the package, they are, in fact, quite small. Drawing the little knobs and crevices, even at the enlarged size required loose rendering so the effect would still appear real and natural. Additionally, drawing a convincing tear requires a balance between the white paper tear that is revealed and the subtle shadow it casts.
