Hero Pattern:
Oh boy I had a crazy week - and I dont know why I decided to make things crazier for myself and design my pattern with dots. It was very time consuming but I really enjoyed it :) Can't wait to make more!!
Sketches: (EEK im late! trying to catch up)
Was having a super duper crazy two weeks and I couldn't do much for this workshop. Trying to catch my breath today and catch up! yiykes
Here are some of my sketches:
Im experimenting with my drawing style - pushing myself out of my comfort zone to see what I come up with.
I feel like I need to sketch more greenery (leaves, etc) - I want a balanced pattern. Let's see how things work out.

A SUMMER FEELIN'
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
've been wanting to do something with pattern a long while back. I am very interested in textiles and fabrics.
Tis the season! My pattern is inspired by winter botanicals.
Sketches:
Traced drawings:
I traced the drawings using my wacom and the pencil tool in illustrator - but they are choppy and I was wondering how you guys did them. They are not clean at all. Cleaning them afterwards is very time consuming. Do I just use the pen tool and draw them out carefully at first? Any tips and tricks.
Im loving this!
Here's another "supporting" pattern:
Did some design/color adjustments to this: (Thank you Elizabeth for the color tip)
