At the moment I am very busy with school. Few updates because I really don't have time at all to sit down and draw. Sad, but that's the way it is. Hopefully during the summer I'll have more time.

Back to black and yellow again.

Bird eye pattern.

Not much to say about this one. I'm trying different styles and shapes.

Marimekko is celebrating their 60th anniversary. Beautiful Finnish design! Even the most simple pattern with a few colours can make the most beautiful artwork. Check out Marimekko's timeless patterns here.

Just a crazy yellow flower pattern

I made the pattern out of an old drawing that I found in my sketchbook. Looks like something in between a flower/citrus fruit or maybe a parachute.

And the "flower" became a pattern.

a sketch becomes a flower

Don't know if I could call it a flower..but something flowerish. I usually sketch a lot and reuse my old sketches and do something else with them. Right now I don't feel as creative as I should. I have tons of ideas but when I try to put them on paper it looks like crap. The thing with creativity is that it comes and goes. I guess I'll just have to accept the fact that sometimes it looks like crap and I just have to force my self to still keep on doing new things even if it looks bad. This one came out good, so I'm maybe on my way back to a creative flow.

Pink pattern

I think it could be good to practice with colours that I hardly use..or like. I can't say that I like this pattern much, and It's due to the colour that I used. Maybe if I get used to colours that I dislike I'll maybe start to like them? Well anyway, this one is called Cherry.
