Butterfly Illustrations | Illustration

These butterfly illustrations are an experiment for my Cath Kidston competition project, i have to say, it's my very first ever to enter the competition and truthfully, i'm very nervous working on this project. 

With this competition brief, i have to designs new prints for Cath Kidston. I do heard of Cath Kidston, i researched through Cath Kidston website to see their design range and styles, they have Cowboy range, Garden Birds range, Guard of London range, floral style, spots style, and so on. I thought that i want to design nature, such as birds, butterflies, berries and flowers. At the end i put together of butterflies and berries for my pattern design.

An testing experiment from Photoshop, this is for the competition project. Female Clouded Yellow butterfly. I did the outline by handrawing with fine line pen and thought i did unexpectedly goood!
An experiment of small tortoiseshell butterfly, done in photoshop, for the competition project. The competition i chose to do is Cath Kidston print. I design different rather recognisable prints such as birds, florals, spots, and any classic print. These two are still in digital/computer like print. Need more experiments to get it more hand print like.
Another photoshop experiment for Cath Kidston. Not quite right to get the hand print like.

It was Spring, the Spy hummingbird flying around millions of butterflies resting on the oyamel fir trees (I just looked it up of what kind of tree because I can't remember what it was, hehe). When the sunshine on them, warmed their delicate wings, then started to fly. And when they fly, it was absolutely spectacular, all orange and flow through the trees. I imagined myself in there, underneath them and watching them as they migrate to North. I felt calm and delight thinking about it, it was awe-inspiring. Being called the Milkweed butterfly is because they feed on

Bloom Wildly | Illustration

It's nearly the end of May, the weather for the last week of the month has been sun shining and over 22c of temperature, such lovely weather. So yesterday, I have been painting the dog rose flowers, that just blossomed nearly 2 weeks ago! Right now they're blooming quite wildly in my home garden and the front! This bush even grows over the tree, makes it so enchanting it's like in a magical summer garden. And with the wall, this can hang further that I can go underneath it for some shade. This one is new from the front as it hasn't grown there before, so it's the first time seeing this. And it's already climbing up the birch tree! It looks nice to look at through the window, where I work on some arts, plus good for some inspirations to illustrate! Whilst I was painting, I did another timelapse video on this. Seems I find the time-lapse illustrating very fascinating and satisfying, you can see the process in fast speed, rather than the normal speed that'll t
