Tubble Gum [WIP]

Study on realism and nostalgia :

The digital painting Tubble Gum is an inspiration of a 80's chewing-gum tube. Tubble gum is a sweetmeat that I loved in my childhood, especially for the design and the visual of the object.
For this illustration, I wanted the study  had a thematic of childhood, of nostalgia and the bright and aciduloius colors of the 80's. Then, the illustration subject was quickly found.
A problem was that the Tubble Gum original design is no longer sold today, and that it is very little referenced on the Web images.
The only pictures I could find had a very poor quality, anb I had to interpret or invent the details of the tube of chewing gum. And it's finally a good thing ; painting of reproduction is a pleasant process, but the work of creation was beginning to miss me.
