Work in progress #ippweeklycreate


Today's Photoshop background collage of the single sketch made in #ippdailydraw - this is a 45cm repeat but just the first stage. I used Illustrator to Live Trace and imported the sketch to Photoshop.


So far I see this as a potential fabric design, it looks quite Chintzy!!


I carried on... and this is what I ended up with last night.

I can see mistakes in lining up in this close up and the whole thing looks rather confusing but believe it or not I feel I've learned something and considering this whole design is made up of just one sketch I don't think it's a bad result. For a professional job I'd do it very differently!

So there you have it. I might now go right back to the beginning and do something with a coloured background. Then again I may find I have to leave this experiment here.

What do you think so far?

This was the original sketch for those that didn't see it:

  1. ohhh - wallpaper would be lovely, especially love the top image before dark was added.

  2. thanks Tracy - that's interesting! I think there is mileage in doing something like the top image but a better repeat - I think I just need to add a little more to the stems then it will be easier to position things.

  3. I like what you've done with the sketch. It would look nice as a wrapping paper too - imagine a big parcel tied up with wide ribbon, lush.
