I’ve just put a wash on, and forgot to put the clothes in the machine that I actually wanted washed. Thus defeating the purpose of putting the washing machine on in the first place. Has anyone seen the undo button? I’d like to restart the afternoon please.
Today is the Sarcastic One’s birthday. So a big Happy Birthday oh Queen of Sarcasm. Have a lovely day.
Before I went to bed last night I did some editing on the Littlest Plague Doctor. His hat brim has got bigger (doesn’t look so much like one of those bucket hats now), and I reshaped his face a little bit to make the ‘beak’ on the mask more prominent.
The weather outside is bloody awful. I am sat right by the window and there’s gusts of wind and rain pelting against it. I am glad I am indoors and snugly warm. Currently have a blanket wrapped around me.
Here’s some work in progress. The Littlest Plague Doctor. Aww. I usually do a sketch in Photoshop, drag it into Illustrator to do the main elements there, then drag it back into Photoshop to scribble out some ideas like a background - or in this case, a background and some balloons. Then it’ll be back over into Illustrator to add those ideas to the overall picture.
For a while now I've been trying to get my head around doing repeating patterns. It's always frustrating to design something, only to find out that when you come to use the pattern, none of the images line up. This afternoon, I think I've crossed a milestone. Finally, finally, I've created a pattern using a simple repeating bumble bee design. Hooray!
So How come I finally figured it out? Well I had some help. From
Redbubble. More specifically,
this tutorial that takes you through the whole process. It's easy to follow, so give it ago and have fun!
