I did this little pattern for the 3×3 Challenge. The Theme was on the farm and I had a lot of fun with this one. I started by randomly drawing chickens in my sketchbook.

Let’s Bake
This is a portfolio assignment in the course by Mike Lowery, “Getting Paid to Draw.” The Assignment was to create icons for a category of our choice.

I am also working on ideas for Easter which should start on April 1. The Challenge for Week 1 was Folksy Florals are something folk arty soContinue reading “3×3 Design Challenge #1”
