That sketch in my notebook is how it all began! I was just drawing some simple mountains, and as I refined it, it started to look like tacos. I think I was correcting the size of them, so they appeared to have a double arch like a taco shell, and then the little snow cap I had added on one looked just like shredded cheese or lettuce coming out the top 😁.
But then got thinking about how appropriate that "mistake" in my sketchbook was: Asheville really, really loves tacos! There are quite a few places to get a good taco around here, and they all have something a little different to offer. I fiddled with the shading and color for awhile, and took an Instagram poll to see what style was preferred.
So, there you have it! Explore Asheville and eat tacos!
