Detail of "Pollenate" pattern design.

Pretty much everything I create starts in analog. For a surface design like this I figure out the tile repeat manually which guides my drawing.

My underline refined sketch guides my vector building.

Even though I try to pre-determine what I'm going to create before I attempt to create it in vector form, I still art direct myself on the fly. I decided the vine needed to be broken up so I could colorize leaves and other detail independently.
