Sunday sketch #438
This week’s sketch feels a bit like the design equivalent of a ‘novelty’ fabric. (Although after googling that phrase, I’ve discovered that people seem to have different ideas of what that actually means.) To me, it’s a fun design featuring recognisable objects rather than just shapes and colours. In this case, birds!
Sunday sketch #437
I started off a bit slowly when first designing with these pointed arches, but I ended up going gangbusters. It’s such a versatile shape. It works a bit like a triangle-in-a-square block, but the curves add a bit of oomph that means it pairs really well with quarter-circles and orange peels. That’s what I’ve been using in the past few weeks’ sketches, and it’s the same again this week. But this one might be my absolute favourite!
Sunday sketch #436
This is the penultimate post in a series of five Sunday sketches based on a pointed arch (or a Gothic arch). I started with Sunday sketch #433, and I’ll finish next week with Sunday sketch #437.
It’s not often that I post so many related designs in a row (I’ve done quite a few series of four, but I can find only two other series of five: sketches #400–#404 in February/March this year; and #132–#136 in January/February 2019). But it’s such a fun shape to play with!
