Another one of my trippy eye artworks has been born. It features delciously wavy purple with pink irises and fits the whimsigoth aesthetic, as most of my eye drawings. I even made an animation with it.
But first,
Sketching process
Found an old notepad with scribbles from my youngest kid when she was very little. I love to sketch on already scribbled paper. This way I don’t have the constant feeling that I’m wasting a perfectly fine paper for drawing bull…. on it. Had lovely brush watercolour kids markers, too. So I felt at ease and doodled what came by itself. It was this:
I felt I was going somewhere. Then I drew this:
And lastly:
Then this artwork stayed marinating for quite a long time when I suddenly saw it while tydiing my stuff.
Digital drawing in Affinity and Procreate
I felt the urge to redraw these eyes which were watching me so intently digitally. Started drawing in Affinity Designer using vector brushes. Got to this:
I didn’t feel free enough. Exported the drawing from Affinity to Procreate. And started anew. It felt okay now:
Making the seamless pattern
Then it was time for making the pattern. I had stone difficulty aligning the tiles. Because it was not a planned regular pattern but a very loosely drawn piece of art. I did a lot of cutting and parting as well as redrawing of the edges where the eyes overlap. But it worked! I’ve got my seamsless eye pattern now. 😊
Redbubble and Threadless products with the art
I added the design to my print on demand online shops. I’ve always admired people who have the courage to wear art like this. I myself am unnoticeably bland in clothing. Anyway, here are some fun products:
Redbubble
They have great quality printing facilities all over the world, which I love.
Threadless
There is a lot of fun stuff there. Even shoes!
Well, that’s about everything I can come up with about this new eye artwork of mine. Thanks for staying with me up to now!
