Hello, lovely people! Before I head into my weekend, just wanted to share my slow progress with you! . This pattern I seemed to flow nicely in the beginning, and then turned out to be really tricky (I’m still not sure whether I need to tweak it even more)! Of you scroll through you’ll see the very beginning (with the cream outline), which didn’t work at all in the repeat, so I had to recolour all the individual snail elements, separating shells from bodies — a painfully slow procedure, which revealed all the small inaccuracies in the sketching phase! . Anyway, I got to a point where I can see where it might be going, and leave this pattern for the sake of tackling another! . I’d love to hear your opinion on the contrast, especially the outlines: Is there enough contrast, or maybe even too much? What’s your immediate response to the use of colour and texture? Should I add another layer of background texture, or does the whole repeat get too busy then? . Thanks for your thoughts! Have a great weekend!! . . . #snail #snailpattern #happysnail #surfacepatterndesign #surfacepatterndesigner #surfacepatterndesigners #immersion2021 #immersionmentorship2021 #foragedfinds #artlicensingcollection #andreapricedesign #identityisfluid https://www.instagram.com/p/CTpKNHrKDY1/?utm_medium=tumblr
