Making textures from various brushes and scanned images. This can quickly become addictive. I can see myself running around with paper and charcoal and scrubbing textures off walls and what not ....but I will refrain from doing this :)⠀ .⠀ I can find plenty of stuff to pull textures off in my office - still dangerous....I could spend a good couple of days at least doing just that....⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #patterndesign #surfacepattern #surfacedesign #printandpattern #doitfortheprocess #artlicencing⠀ #creativelife #loveforart #patterndesigner #printdesign #designprocess #doitforthegram #fabricdesign ⠀ #textiledesigner #wallpaperdesign #stationerydesign #patternlove #textile #textildesign #fashionprint #textures #digitaltexture #monaiordache #mdidesignstudio

Birdie is back! I sketched some flowers and leaves with my #fude pen - which is all dried up from not being used in about a year - and digitized them. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ⠀ #patterndesign #surfacepattern #surfacedesign #printandpattern #doitfortheprocess #artlicencing⠀ #creativelife #loveforart #patterndesigner #printdesign #designprocess #doitforthegram #fabricdesign ⠀ #textiledesigner #wallpaperdesign #stationerydesign #patternlove #textile #textildesign #fashionprint #monaIordache #mdidesignstudio #birdsbutterfliesandblooms

Fatigue a l'ordre du jour these days. Maybe it is the spring ...So I dod not have enough time/energy to make stuff lately.⠀ .⠀ I had this bird that I wanted to use in a repeat - but I don't think it goes with the flowers style-wise. I will remake this with other flowers I used in older repeats to see the difference. I find it much harder to work with "living things" as opposed to flowers and such...⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ⠀ #patterndesign #surfacepattern #surfacedesign #printandpattern #doitfortheprocess #artlicencing⠀ #creativelife #loveforart #patterndesigner #printdesign #designprocess #doitforthegram #fabricdesign ⠀ #textiledesigner #wallpaperdesign #stationerydesign #patternlove #textile #textildesign #fashionprint #birdsbutterfliesandblooms #monaiordache #mdidesignstudio

As usual, we moved from winter straight to summer over here ? . I don;t know who said that there are 4 seasons, because that is one big fat lie ? . ⠀ .⠀ On the work front - it was a highly unproductive day because I was gallivanting out and about. I havea book from the library about flower bouquets - I am planning to use it to sketch flowers and leaves. Meanwhile I painted this quick composition - I liked it because it is not the usual wreath.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ⠀ #onmydesk #creativityfound #getcreative #illustrationartists #artistsofinstagram #watercolorpainting #gouachepainting #carveouttimeforart #artinprogress #makearteveryday #doitfortheprocess #inthestudio #calledtobecreative #monaiordache #the100dayproject⠀ #the100dayproject2019 #birdsbutterfliesandblooms

I got carried away making terrazzo patterns today ...not sure which colors I prefer, but this was way too much fun! I could go on and make a zillion more ... but I get bored easily so I stopped after a while.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #patterndesign #surfacepattern #surfacedesign #printandpattern #doitfortheprocess #artlicencing⠀ #creativelife #loveforart #patterndesigner #printdesign #designprocess #doitforthegram #fabricdesign ⠀ #textiledesigner #wallpaperdesign #stationerydesign #patternlove #textile #textildesign #fashionprint #monaiordache #mdidesignstudio

My running around like a chicken with no head has reached epic proportions. On one of my somewhat long bus rides, I listened to @jamiebartlettdesign brush tutorial and I made a few scatter brushes. I am not sure how great they are, but I will use them for sure here and there - and probably make some more. ⠀ .⠀ I applied the brush on the background and layered the magnolias I painted a while back (vector version) on top to see how they would look like; also applied some texture some of the flowers on the repeat. The real size brushes are t the top right; most of the marks on that paper did not translate well AI, but I wanted to try it because of the texture of the paper. ⠀ .⠀ Now if I could figure out the easiest way to have a seameless texture without using the pattern tool that would be awesome ....⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #patterndesign #surfacepattern #surfacedesign #printandpattern #doitfortheprocess #artlicencing⠀ #creativelife #loveforart #patterndesigner #printdesign #designprocess #doitforthegram #fabricdesign ⠀ #textiledesigner #wallpaperdesign #stationerydesign #patternlove #textile #textildesign #fashionprint ⠀ #the100dayproject⠀ ⠀ #the100dayproject2019 #birdsbutterfliesandblooms @victoriajohnsondesign #creativechallenge #monaiordache #mdidesignstudio

Trying to stay awake for 12 hours from midnight to noon is no easy feast - I turn into pumpkin way before midnight. I had some paper, and old , scratchy pen and a pencil with me so I kept myself busy ....the app on my phone came to the rescue a couple of times too - until I run out of battery.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ⠀ #sketching #sketch #draw #sketchbook #instaart #artoftheday #illustrator #onmydesk #creativityfound #getcreative #illustrationartists #artistsofinstagram #carveouttimeforart #artinprogress #makearteveryday⠀ #calligraphy #doitfortheprocess #inthestudio #monaiordache

#artflow doodle. Only one layer is unlocked with the free version. I think I will try a butterfly next, but working so small is not easy. . . . . . #digitalart #digitalsketch #stylizedportrait #makearteveryday #wip #monaiordache #mdidesignstudio #carvetimeoutforart #creativityfound

#artflow app and my digit playing on the phone. I used the free version the paid one has some 70 brushes from what I read. . I saw somebody making super detailed drawings on the phone; it is quite a challenge to work so small...but it was fun. I have a cheap stylus I will use next time. . . . . . #the100dayproject #the100dayproject2019 #birdsbutterfliesandblooms #painteveryday #onmydesk #digitalart #getcreative #carvetimeoutforart ##artinprogress #makearteveryday #doitfortheprocess #inthestudio #monaiordache #mdidesignstudio #mdistudio100dayproject2019

Continuing along with the botanical illustration theme with @lizkohlerbrown. And I lost count what day of the project this is ....Working this way for somebody who might have some form of ADHD can be a challenge because it is too easy to change things all the time. And spend endless time varying this or the other thing. I made a bunch of versions - it was fun. I like the ink layer - it came out better this time; when I dropped the color, I also altered somehow the line color - not sure how I managed that. I don't think it is visible - not sure if the line color would be off at the printer. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #onmydesk #creativityfound #getcreative #illustrationartists #artistsofinstagram #carveouttimeforart #artinprogress #makearteveryday #doitfortheprocess #inthestudio #calledtobecreative #monaiordache #procreate #ipadart #the100dayproject⠀ ⠀ #the100dayproject2019 #birdsbutterfliesandblooms @victoriajohnsondesign #creativechallenge #painteveryday #illustrationartists #artistsofinstagram⠀ #mdistudio #mdistudio100dayproject2019
