15 Days of Pattern Challenge
posted in Surface & Pattern Design, Illustration, Surface & Pattern Design, Pattern Design by admin on January 1, 2022For the last 15 days of 2021, I challenged myself to come up with one pattern per day and then post them on my Instagram. I had so much fun with this challenge! Some of the patterns turned out better than others but was very fun to come up with different illustrations to turn into patterns.
I will definitely be challenging myself like this again. It really pushed my creativity.

DAY FOUR:
Old Fashioned Candy. This was one that I wish I would have had more candy in the pattern. Each individual candy illustration took a little more time than I expected. I wanted to get my daily pattern posted, so I just used the candies I had illustrated by the end of a busy day.
