These pictures are patterns that I found when I originally started this project this year which I stored in my sketch book.
They come from a huge variety of sources, ranging from islamic art, decks of cards, wood carvings, and computer generated patterns.
The website Pinterest I found very useful when looking for different unknown artists works especially with computer generated patterns. I felt that by having this at hand, as well as an online sketch book in the form of my own pinterest account I could keep a large array of different patterns to refer to at a moments notice.
I can even create patterns by sketching when I don’t have access to my computer this way by storing it on my tablet and taking it with me, so I can always create new sketches and patterns while on the go.
