Progressive Sketching

I've been really busy, I've just started Module 2 from "The Art and Business of Surface Pattern Design", so not too many recent posts from me!

This is one of the first projects we had to do, kind of a warm-up exercise from our 3 week hiatus.
I took an object from my desk, and sketched, re-sketched, spastically sketched and sketched with my eyes closed to get it to an abstract stage. It was pretty fun. It almost looks like I did tequila shots in between sketches. Lol!

They were round glass pieces in a square vase. After I drew this, it reminded me of an overhead shot of roses in a vase, so I added some color, colors from "Design Seeds".
