This week we focused on motif's and creating simple patterns from them.
To begin I drew a butterfly which I re drew from a piece of work I felt inspired by. I re drew it in my own style and digitally created the same version. This was for my benefit, to see which I preferred ( as i usually favour digital, this time I didn't.
These are several variations on the original Butterfly:
A simple Background drawing
The original Motif
And here we have a simple repeat design in a varierty of colourways.

This is the mood-board, that inspired the above design.
