Practice on Photo shop

I found a feather pattern on the internet and used the pattern tool on photo shop to repeat it. I repeated this process with another feather pattern and then used these two repeated patterns on flat illustrations.

The brighter pattern worked really well as it was smaller on the illustration whereas the other pattern was larger and flowed off the garment.

 I really loved the feel of the patterns combined on the garment. I also tried the pattern in black and white.

 The bright pattern also looked really good in black and white as it showed the outlines of the feather and defined the pattern.














Next I took an image of a butterfly off the internet. I cut around the butterfly shape and removed the background. Then I added a blue background and applied it to an illustration. I used a child's garment as the pattern was quite simple and the red butterfly on sky blue was fitting for a child.

The effect was beautiful and worked really well however next time I would maybe try and change the pattern to make it repeat and it would look brilliant as a small pattern all the way across the dress.
