Illustration
More is more when it comes to this illustration. It started as doodling randomly with symmetry enabled in Procreate, and I just kept going. I let my brain dance across the canvas without worrying about what the drawing would be, if I focused too much in one area, skipped around the canvas too much, or even if I’d finish it.
The random and carefree nature of the exercise worked well for my ADHD brain, and hyperfocus set in. Eventually, my creativity and eye for design started making sense of the chaos—finding patterns, making connections, and filling space.
Playing with texture and radial symmetry in Procreate.
Digital Origami began life as vector icon illustration that wasn’t going quite the way I wanted.
After a couple of hours, I decided to take a different direction for the icon, but I was left with a collection of interesting shapes, colored perfectly, for creating the look of folded paper.
The shapes were arranged by hand to create a repeating pattern. The arrangement leaves small imperfections throughout the piece giving it depth and a hand-folded look.
What was I thinking with that color palette?
