Working with doodles & illustration

I wanted to share what I have been having fun with lately.

I have been doodling and illustrating (in adobe illustrator).

I guess I am really practicing my skills and playing....lol.

Above is a repeat surface pattern design I made using my doodles and drawings.

These are screen shots of my computer....sort of a work space with art boards, but it is on the computer.   Sometimes I doodle on paper with pencil and then scan it into the computer to retrace my drawings.  I can color them on the computer and place them anywhere I want and change colors anytime too.

Here are vases of hearts....different colors and made to repeat over and over....for wallpaper or fabric

This shows a closeup of the vases on the computer.

This is the same design as the top picture...just using different background color.

Here I used the main flower in my repeat pattern above ...to make this Valentine sign!

This cute sign is now in my Etsy shop.

Now I can't get enough of what I learned....I can play with this all day, everyday!

so you know what I will be doing all winter long...working on my new found skills and making some pattern collections.
