Hello everyone!

I'm so thankful! I've learned a lot about creating patterns and work with Illustrator from this course. Thank you, Shelley, so much!

And let me show all steps of my first pattern created with Illustrator. I love to draw floral elements and flowers. So I pick one of my sketches for begining.

Step 1: sketch and line draw.

Step 2: work with brush, filling all elements with color.

Here is my basic color palette.

And I also tried Live Trace Option. Here you can compare Hand Drawn vs Live Trace.

Step 3: creating pattern.

Step 4: variations with different color palettes.

Step 5: creating cards and stationery set.

I love this patterns and it was so fun to create it. I want to apply it on different products at print-on-demand shop. And I really want to work witn my other sketches after this project.

Thank you!
