Pattern Design: Creating Repeat Patterns From Your Illustrations & Paintings

I love the "watercolor" effect of this design and its bold feel. I love the blue colorway best!

This print is wild. I'd like to see a mock up with the print that demonstrates what scale you have in mind. My immediate reaction is that the bright colors take what is already a severe repeat over the top, however I think the real conflict is between the dark, bold outlines and the delicate "scalloped" shapes within those outlines. I don't think you need those detailed shapes or those overlapped, inverted square jumbles. I think this print design just needs a little editing to make it edgy and strong opposed to a confusing amalgamation. I say keep the bold colors and sacrifice the non-essential lines. I think this would be a strong candidate for a tote bag, printed pant, or summer/spring dress. Nice work.

Audrey, these turned out lovely! Fresh + Funky! It's nice to see the contrast between warm, cool, and playful tones. I feel like this pattern design could be used successfully for many different products.
