Today after creating my final A2 observational development I decide to move on and adapt my original observational concept, moving into surface patterns and motifs, looking into how my A2 piece could be evolved, working with the drawing to create a repeat pattern.
Taking inspiration from other blogs such as http://www.pitter-pattern.com/ ,
I began to create my own motif on Photoshop, being fairly new to this software I began by uploading my selected image of my A2 drawing and cropping out a section in which I thought was exciting and had potential enough to be developed further Using Ctrl and +/- to magnify sections.
So I then began the cropping of the section I had chosen which was the top right section of the drawing as I liked its curvature and erratic use of line. I cropped the image by using the magnetic lasso tool in the option bar to achieve crisp clear lines. I then began to layer and duplicate the pages
doing this four times I could begin to re-size and shape the multiple images using alt and the mouse to alter the shape, position and angle with out changing the proportion.
After messing around with the composition I created a circle out of the four duplicated layers and merged the layers into one to create a single layer.
From here I went on to repeat this process creating a full drop repeat, I did this to just experiment with my pattern and see what I could design with it, I did like the out come however i think it could be further developed to produce a more fluent and complex surface pattern.
So i began to push my Photoshop skills to try and produce a larger range of designs changing colour by going on to image, adjustments and then on to hue and colour saturation.
which I then produced a black out effect, which I thought could be developed into a beautiful repeat pattern, that would look fabulous as a staggered drop repeat pattern.
I created this by clone stamping the outline and producing a wonderful pattern which reminded me of a "dog tooth" pattern that could be further developed into a woolen embroidered print on a two piece or jacket.
