The Art of Seamless Pattern
Wednesday, 16 February 2011 | 9:55 pm
Wednesday: Digital Art & Design class in the early morning.
I went with my assignments half done because I used the most part of the evening after yesterday's class retouching on the pattern above. This was made on Photoshop and I'm damn proud of it because I think the colours go well together and the chocolate background reminds me of, yes, dark chocolate and chocolate today, for me, pretty much translates to Theo Walcott — and now I'm cringing.
Below is the hand-drawn pattern. I had to draw a 10 by 10 box and then make the marks on the halves and the halves of the halves — it was quite tiring for me because when it involves things like this, the perfectionist in me expects nothing but perfection.
Or something marginally close to it.
Not quite as impressive as making a seamless pattern with the Photoshop brushes, but I think it's quite good. There's a little break in one of the lines and I wasn't about to let it show to the naked eye so I decided to just scale it down. It worked because the lecturer said my work is "not bad".
And I thanked God, Trivium, Lucenzo and the two other So Fine people that were with me.
