Periwinkle and Leaves Pattern

July Doodle: A Pattern

After joining Liz Kohler Brown’s The Studio to learn Affinity Designer for surface design, I learned how to vectorize my work from Procreate so I could enlarge or decrease the size of my assets easily without loss of information in the image, resulting in blurred images.

I started by learning vectorization, as in the art above, now an asset in Affinity Designer after vectorizing art from Procreate.

Today, I played around with Affinity Designer with information I had learned a couple years ago when it first came out and I took Liz’s Skillshare class. I didn’t add any texture, but just played with making a pattern with the periwinkle and the leaves.

I came up with this: [10 x 10 in]

Here it is repeated four times to show the repeat pattern [20 x 20 in]

And then I simply enlarged the 10×10 to be 20 x20, something impossible in Procreate.

I look forward to learning more complex patterns and the processes I still don’t know in Liz Kohler Brown’s The Studio.
