Hi Everyone,
Below find the development of this project for the 3 patterns course in 3 weeks.
Find my three inspirations boards :
It took me some times to decide what to choose but I finally made a decision !
the first one will be :
Whimsical Enchanted forest
Inspired from the book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz illustrated by Lorena Alvarez , I love the light on the tale in the woodland created.
keywords : Forest,Trees, Magical, Animals friends from the forest, Cute shapes, Enchanted , Bright colours, Dark ground Colours, Anemone, Mushrooms, Antique Rose, Foxglove, scabies, seeded eucalyptus, Agonis, Astilbe.
the drawings I have been doing at the moment : I find it easier to draw with Signpen Pilot!
I draw on illustrator but I have simply the character:
and this is one first pattern made from the drawing :
then I have developed another pattern :
and this is the third pattern:
with the last pattern , I have worked on some products mock up:
As suggested, I made a board rounding out the Collection patterns to give an overview of the theme:
The Second inspirations will be :
Botanic winter love
Inspired by botanic prints, work of some beautiful fashion designers, wedding winter bouquets, I want to look at how I can translate some botanical drawings into a pattern.
Keywords : Leafs, Art Bridal inspiration, Intimate , Berries, Vintage, Poppies, Red Lotus, Fruit trees, Palaver orientale, Dahlia, Boho , Pink protea.
Find below the sketches and the colour added into photoshop :
then now the patterns I have started to develop :
Pattern 1 on the theme : inspired by Boho patterns I thought it will be a good idea to use all of the flowers and vegetative elements .
Pattern 2 on the theme : I like the oranges tree not ending as a pattern so I give it a try .
I had some time to develop some products mock up to show how the patterns will work on kidswear :
As suggested, I made a board rounding out the Collection patterns to give an overview of the theme:
The Third inspiration will be :
Culinary flowers Party
Inspired by edible flowers decoration around desserts and tables, I find it very inspiring and want to dry translating it into a pattern.
Keywords : Tea cups, Desserts, Cakes, Fruits, Staffordshire english vintage china tea set, Squash Blossom, Impatiens, Phlox, Thyme, Rose, Nasturtium, Cutlery, Mouvement
Below I have layout a page where you can see the sketches and with the colour added into it. Overall for this style of the future pattern , I want to explore how I could keep a sketchy style in adding the colour into it. At the end I have coloured them into photoshop , it appeared to me to be easier however I had to export each of the design as a .tiff file to keep the transparency.Changing colour will not be possible I believe , only the background. let see the result shortly!
Finally, I can update this theme with the patterns I am happy with :
this is the same pattern but with a different background :
this is a second pattern version with another colour of the background .
As suggested, I made a board rounding out the Collection patterns to give an overview of the theme:
