My patterns have definitely been heavy on the rose theme over the past year, with Crumpled Roses, String Rose and now Wrapped Rose.
Wrapped Rose reminds me a bit of the folk art roses I used to paint back in the early 90's. Good times.
I'm not sure if I consider Wrapped Rose more of a drawing technique than a pattern as I believe patterns should be able to continue in all directions infinitely which, in theory I suppose this could, though I don't know how it'd look. Regardless, it's fun and I became a bit obsessed with playing with the possibilities over the past week...until I wasn't hahaha.
Here's a step out:
Here's a completed drawing:
This was sketched out first in my journal then finished off in procreate so I could create the delicious black highlighted areas. Love them :)
The video:
Once you've got the basic technique create a slightly more realistic look by adding a bit of shape to the petals like this........
O.k., so it doesn't look like it's ready to pick out of the garden, but it's not a very big jump at all from adding a bit of basic shape to drawing this.............
With a bit of shading you'd have a realistic looking peony or old fashioned rose. If you can't imagine how I went from the original outline to this, I've super-imposed the outline in red. I've just added turn backs and outer petals and leaves.
I still hadn't had enough so then I played around with an overall pattern, again in Procreate. Because copy, pasting and filling.......fun!
Some other ideas I tossed around were: a circle centre rather than a spiral, a button centre and string for petals. Fun, but I got bored before I finished any of these drawings. Now onto the next idea.
Have a great day!
