Two fabric designs

I've been testing Affinity Designer in conjunction with Super Vectoriser to see if I can do similar things with them as I can with Illustrator. I think I can certainly do almost as well. Can't afford Adobe's ridiculous monthly subscriptions.



Playing with pattern and colour

Using illustrator to play with some of my drawings, both to make patterns and to see how colours work.

Black and white patterns - learning to use Illustrator


From sketchbook scribbles into vector art that can be resized. My head hurts from battling with technology but I have to admit that illustrator is no longer quite such a mystery to me.

Fabric tests

I had a couple of my drawings printed up as fabric samples to see how they work. Bearing in mind that neither of these was designed with repeats in mind I was quite pleased with the results and very pleased with the quality of the printing, ( the Lacuna Press), and the speed. I only sent the designs off on Tuesday and go them back on Friday ! I don't know what I'm going to do with them yet, but it was good to see the potential.
