Drawings

I have drawn more detailed motifs to use for my wallpaper designs. Having a more intricate starting point will allow my final work to be more interesting and visually pleasing. 

Repeats

To create half drop repeats I can use half an image as my starting point. This image can be flipped over then repeated down. I prefer my designs with different line qualities, moving from thick to thin across the image. 

Half drop repeat

I felt that my previous half drop repeat was not detailed enough, therefore I created a more in-depth drawing to begin with, to create a more complete design. The shape of the drawing and the patterns it creates once repeated allows the wallpaper to flow as a hole.

Drawings repeated

I'm very new to photoshop so have been playing around with my image and creating block and half drop repeats. This design looks ok, but I'm not very fond of the motif. 

Drawings

My drawing style is loose and usually with wet material, to create images in a baroque style I have been drawing with dry materials and trying to keep my lines neat. Drawings that are tonal work well as they replicate the wood carvings from the period. The dark, fine liner drawings will work well in repeat for wallpapers.
