Today for myself & Becs pattern project I doodled some little leaf designs & then played around with them on Photoshop & I totally love the outcome!
I have always had intentions to do this with my drawings & I am so glad I finally have!
Any ideas of what I could use it for?

Beautifully fresh and vital – full of life and playful.

I stick by my suggestion in a comment to an earlier post, your designs would make great fabric patterns. This post has made me think it even more. Gorgeous.
thelittleleaf
Yes Rachael its actually so good & refreshing seeing my drawings like that in a pattern! I have a new motivation now. Thanks :)

I would have said this design would look really fresh on bedding, but the idea of starting out with a cushion cover is good and then you could try the design on bigger pieces of fabric once you know how :)
thelittleleaf
Yes I might start small on a pillow/cushion :D But now I can picture bedding! Thank you

beautiful repeat pattern – I like the idea of having it upholstered onto a chair!!
thelittleleaf
Yes I think that would look pretty cool! Thank you Lisa :)

I agree… this is excellent for fabric [curtains, cushions, upholstery or wallpaper]. Lovely!
thelittleleaf
Thanks Marina, I shall do more! :)

I agree, I think this pattern is absolutely perfect for fabric or wallpaper. A lot of your designs seem ideal for that to me. I’d buy a chair upholstered in this in a heartbeat! :)
thelittleleaf
Awww thank you! Yes I can see a cushion on my couch made with this! :D

This is great stuff. You’re definitely on the right track. Go for it!
thelittleleaf

Your best bet is to transfer your artwork onto Illustrator. You can create a ‘swatch’ with a small section of your pattern and it will repeat indefinitely no mater what shape you put the pattern in. You can also enlarge the pattern or reduce in size and not get any pixelation. Photoshop is a great program, but i suggest learning Illustrator, i think it’ll suit your needs more. Then you can play around with effects by transferring the illustrator file to Photoshop.
A lot to swallow!

Hi Jessica, Thank you so much for your feedback, I no nothing about Illustrator but I think I want to learn because I had so much fun designing that pattern! I have heard that that’s the program I need for this :) I shall look into it! Thanks for the info :)
Jessica Salzone
No worries. Illustrator is very easy once you get the hang of it! :) If you ever have a question about it I can always try my best to help out. Been using it for YEARS!
Marianne
I’ve been wanting to do this with my art for so long…I just never knew how to get the repeat design effect. I love what you’ve done! This could be used for note cards, fabric, decorative paper, etc. Nice job!
thelittleleaf
Marianne, I had never tried it before either until last night. It was easier then I thought. So its a matter of cutting it out on Photoshop & just making heaps of copies of the pattern & I just spent time arranging them together :) I could make wrapping paper! Oh wow!
Nelly
This is gorgeous I absolutely love it!!! Such a talent nice work
thelittleleaf
Thanks Donelle :)
Kathy
You should have your design turned into fabric.
thelittleleaf
Kathy, Yes i have slightly considered that! Might have to do a wee bit of research & see how to go about it. Thanks again :)

Beautiful.
I’ve read both you and Becs talking about how you use Photoshop to transform your designs to patterns. How do you do it? Do you scan your images?
(If it’s a trade secret, you can always whisper it to me :-) )
thelittleleaf
No trade secret! haha. Ummm I’m actually not too good on Photoshop, semi learning. But I take a photo of my drawing & upload it then there is a tool on Photoshop called the lasso & you can cut your design out. Once its cut out your free to move it how you please! :)
