Wabi Sabi, editorial illustration for MATS Assignment Bootcamp

This month in Assignment Bootcamp we are creating editorial illustrations for an article "Wabi sabi: The Japanese philosophy that will help you embrace change and accept the past" by Beth Kempton.

Here is my sentiment: “I see it as a gift of Japanese wisdom, that we can take and follow the route, that Japanese people have been walking for centuries”.

I used watercolors, inks, and colored pencils

Gratitude Journal design

This year I’m taking Assignment Bootcamp course at Make Art That Sells with an art agent Lilla Rogers. Our assignment this month is to create a cover design for journal or notebook. All students are divided into three groups and assigned a type of medium to use, color palette, and types of flowers to draw.

Here is my design with magnolia, that I made in mixed media. Main elements are painted with watercolors and inks, and backgrounds are created with acrylics.

My entry for the UPPERCASE Surface Pattern Design Guide

Here is a small collection of designs called Boho Beads. I submitted it for the third edition of the UPPERCASE Surface Pattern Design Guide. For me, it was a great opportunity to try creating a collection of designs and I like how it turned out.

Make It In Design and Print & Pattern scholarship competition

I’m new to surface pattern design but decided to try creating my first patterns to enter Make It In Design and Print & Pattern scholarship competition.

I really enjoyed creating floral patterns and pushing the boundaries a bit further. It took me a while to figure out the layout, but it was definitely worth it! Now I’m seeing patterns everywhere and want to create even more designs myself.
