Freebie Friday - Paper Textures 2

Happy Friday!

This week I'm continuing with the paper theme. Well, sort of. Today, I've thrown in some funkier textures that aren't really paper, but that have come into my possession rolled up, cut up, or packaged like various papers would be.

In this set there are: watercolour paper, canvas sheet, cream matte board, red velvet paper, bubble wrap, and paper towel samples.

(* Colours are more vibrant once you save the files. Blogger is making the preview images more grey again...)


Feel free to use these resources for personal or professional projects but please:

Do not claim the original resource images as your own,
Do not redistribute commercially. Basically, don't save and sell the resources as your own, but by all means do share the link to this page with others. :)
Do not use these textures as a base to create your own stock art/resources.

And, as always, please feel free to share anything you've made with these resources with me. I'd love to have a look! =)

Chapter-Head Compositions

Today I present here my latest Decorative Illustration assignment. The goal was to create 4 black and white illustrations that would be the little chapter-head images. I addition, end page illustrations were to be made. If the illustrations were for a well known story/novel, then the illustrations should have exhibited some sort of a twist.
Still being in a floral mind set from my previous project, I put a floral twist on the classic novel I've chosen to illustrate for. I'll keep the title and author a mystery though, just because=)

Available for purchase on RedBubble

Media/Materials:

`Strathmore Bristol Smooth Paper (6 x 6")
`Pigma Micron pens (0.05)
`Pelikan waterproof black ink

And the end pages:

version 1 - freestyle magnolia spread

version 2 - magnolia cluster - all over repeat pattern

version 3 - magnolia - all over repeat pattern, muliticoloured

version 3 close up

 

version 4 - magnolia - all over repeat pattern, multicoloured/half-drop. I chose this as my preferred design

 For these end pages I went through the following steps:


- I hand drew various individual magnolia branches.
- I scanned them into my computer.
- In Photoshop I arranged them into a cluster I liked and then I made a pattern out if it.
- Finally I imported this into Illustrator and I there I did a live trace and live paint.


Happy Monday! =)
