Painting with crayons. Surface pattern design.

Hello! so glad you visit me! lots of thanks





This last week I have designing new patterns using my computer. But I decided to have a break for some hours as I thought it would be nice to relax a little painting by hand.

I remembered a funny crayon technique I used when I was a child, therefore; I thought if I would be able to paint with crayons again. 

I think I haven´t used them for more than 25 years, the last time I think it was when I did an illustration course.

I have a great memory of crayons paintings as I surprisingly won a first prize at a painting contest at a summer camp, when I was ten. 

I couldn´t believe that a floral and bold painting which flowers were outlined in black, was to be the winner! That was so encouraging to me, as I really thought I didn´t have any possibility to win with such a painting.

So, last Wednesday I bought a 30 crayons paintings box, a cheap one in order to give a try. 

These last weeks I have been a little stressed, so I didn´t have the patience to draw slowing and careful. 
On the contrary, I was fast, and even feel disoriented about I was going to draw. Nevertheless, I chose to floral motives and starting drawing directly on the paper, drawing lines and seeing what it was going on.

It was a mess, my table full was of stains, my hands dirty, but I really enjoyed the proccess.

I know the drawings could have been made with more accuracy, drawing the lines much better, but at the same time I think that perhaps its charm resides on this childish and loosing hand look.

The good about these drawings it is once they are reduced and a little manipulated with photoshop, they improve a lot. 
Therefore, I thought these designs would look better on small products as iphone cases! 

I hope people like them and sell some of them! 

Oh, I forgot to say, today is Black Friday, you can get any of  cases collection at 20% off!
