Many of these designs began as simple doodles of absent minded thinking... (the telephone conversations, you know where I'm coming from).
Then with the technology at our finger tips things developed.

The craze of the 'zen doodles' came about, patterns within shapes expanding.

Working in a mandal style,working in a circle drifting outwards.
Using dots and dashes for shading and depth within the shapes.

Doodles developed, made into brushes in Photoshop and then into the many available options within the software.

Who says that simple doodles can't be large prnts in frames.

From the doodles to repeat patterns, and the know how behind them, and where they can take you.

Developing your own doodles, sketches, mark making into repeating patterns using software such as Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.

more to follow, as I'm doing an online surface design course to develop my knowledge and hopefully take me on a different pathway with my work.
