Been working on some more environment practice, trying to work on my tones and lighting a bit more.

 When I have seen repeat patterns, the ones which have stood out to me the most, are those which are made up of diagonal element placements.  So I decided to try diagonals out in my final pattern experiment.

 I wanted to make my rain girl nostalgia prints for the Cath Kidston YCN Awards brief more interesting.  I decided to add in some secondary elements to the initial rain girls in the form of mallard ducks.

 

I felt I had got as far as I could with the Ethnic Britain idea for the Cath Kidston brief for the YCN Awards, and it didn't really fit the brand.  So I decided to start working on another idea I had, to create a nostalgia themed pattern.  There was nothing I loved more as a little un, than to splash around in the rain and jump in puddles....just couldn't resist them.  So I thought to bring this forward.

I wasn't very happy with the previous Ethnic Britain themed pattern I had done for the Cath Kidston brief for the YCN Awards, I felt that the layout was too uniform.

For one of my new uni projects we have had to pick two of this years YCN Awards briefs.  The two I picked were to create a new pattern for Cath Kidston and to recreate the back of Bear's Alphabites cereal boxes.  This is one of my idea for the Cath Kidston brief, the idea was to create an Ethnic Britain themed pattern.

Some more environment painting practice for my animation class, both with and without the snow (the snow will be animated)

Been working on some illustrations for a children's book for a uni project
