J’aime tellement les illustrations de Katie Scott !
Elles sont très connues. Vous les avez au moins croisées. Magnifique travail de precision et d’harmonie, texturé juste comme il faut. Son univers est une sorte de cabinet de curiosités botanique. Herbier géant ordonné et sauvage à la fois.
“Autodidacte, Katie n’a jamais étudié la botanique. Ses premiers dessins botaniques étaient des plantes nées de son imagination qu’elle traduisait sur papier. Cela lui a permis d’asseoir son style, ce qui l’a ensuite amenée à travailler aux côtés de botanistes sur des illustrations plus précises”
Honeysuckle is a fascinating subject for graphic design and art in general, providing endless possibilities for creating visually engaging and meaningful works.
Honeysuckle plants are climbers and often have long, entwining vines that create complex and dynamic shapes. These twisting and turning vines can form intricate patterns that are visually captivating.The way the vines wrap around structures or other plants can create interesting visual compositions and a sense of movement.
The leaves of honeysuckle are typically arranged in opposite pairs along the stems. This regular pattern can create a pleasing and harmonious visual rhythm.The leaves themselves are often simple and oval-shaped, providing a contrasting backdrop to the more complex flowers and vines.
A force parcourir les livres de patterns tels que : William Morris , artist craftsman Pioneer , j avais plein de chèvrefeuilles parmi mes images mentales. Il fallait que ça sorte en motif. Voila!
Aucun intérêt à le faire mais c’ est un excellent bouquin, un bon équilibre entre contexte géographico-historique et collections des patterns des plus illustres aux moins familiers. On se rend aussi compte que dans la firme Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co, la company est importante à découvrir … J’en parlerai un de ces jours…
Le genre de bouquin vers lequel on revient très souvent: un livre de table de salon ou de table de chevet. II passe peu de temps sur des étagères
Sorry for the quality of the video I will show you the Luno 30-40 cm mini posters in a more optimized way later on. in real life, the paper is just perfectly textured, catching the light just as it should … not that obvious on this video 🙁 i made it very quicly with an old phone when we presented Luno to a book publisher abroad, a while ago.
I always thought that Luno has something i associate with a Japanese style: not in term of his direct characters but more in terme of atmosphere smooth textures and some kind of poetic landscape…
Please, have a look in the library here , and here, or there
In procreate I made stamp brushes of the flowers and had sketched previously.
I first build the pattern swatch with lines and circles for the stem and flowers. I move them around and get an idea of their positioning. only then when the swatch is almost ready I stamp the flowers into the circles and finalise the sketch. Ready to test and draw the swatch.
At the very begining I transformed a “tree of life” tile design non repeat pattern) into a full drop repeat pattern
Then I intended to use the same pattern swatch structure to create an other pattern design. I wanted to create one more bushy motif with branches rather than thin flowers. I thought it would be a way to make an other pattern following the same tracks of a previous one. As a matter of fact I encountered lots of unexpected difficulties on the way: It was not that easy to make it even with the imbricated leaves and fruits. I might as well have started it from scratch. Eventually it worked out so all is well ! 🙂 .
I guess i learned a lesson : the structure of the repeat is one thing but the style of the flowers and leave make the identity and fluidity of the pattern even more strongly. It was not a short cut at all
