After a long time, I'm back to participate in a challenge. I took the opportunity to redesign an old #pattern made years ago.
So "Bohemian Jewels Garden Vivid" is my entry for the Jewel-Toned Boho @spoonflower-social.bsky.social #designchallenge

And so on August 31, 2021 I returned to stripes 😅🙈 It's interesting to find out that I had made so many striped drawings, which I then almost never used in my digital patterns.

#artsky #sketchbook #pattern #surfacepattern #abstractart #sketch #abstractsketch #drawings #summersketchbook #stripes

This image shows a page of sketchbook held by two fingers on a orange background (my couch). The page is filled with an abstract striped sketch. 3/4 of the page from the bottom has a design with overlapping horizontal waves, inside they are colored alternately with a blue marker with full, large vertical stripes and with thin vertical striped stripes. The waves are drawn with a black pen. The top part of the page is simply colored in stripes with a purple marker.

This is from August 30, 2021 an irregular patchwork of several #patterns in #blackandwhite reminds me a coloring book. Maybe if I had added a gold touch it would have looked like Kintsugi art.

#artsky #sketchbook #surfacepattern #abstractart #sketch #abstractsketch #drawings #summersketchbook

This is will be hard to explain, sorry if I can’t describe the image properly! This image shows an open sketchbook on a table with a floral tablecloth. The pages are filled with an abstract sketch in black and white. It looks like a mosaic made up of large irregular tiles, each of which is designed with a different pattern, it almost seems like a patchwork of different fabrics or a Kintsugi work with all different ceramic pieces. The patterns in the various pieces are all different, some are more geometric and some more organic, some floral, others striped. One is checkered and another is scalloped. Some have ethnic motifs inspired by mudcloth.

It was August 28, 2021 and the old tiles of a seaside house inspired me, so I designed this pattern with two overlapping layers.

#artsky #sketchbook #pattern #surfacepattern #abstractart #sketch #abstractsketch #drawings #summersketchbook #tiledpattern

This image shows a page of sketchbook held by my hand. The page is filled with a drawing on two overlapped layers, the first is a tiled pattern drawn with a black pen that recalls the design of old square tiles. The second layer is an abstract drawing with 2 organic shapes colored on in brown and one in green in the center, rounded by a big red vertical striped shape with a yellow outline. There are also 4 other shapes on the side edges of the page, on the left they are only partially visible and are colored green with a yellow outline, while on the right they are slightly more visible and are brown. The rest of the background is filled with pink horizontal stripes.

After two days of unconventional composition on August 27, 2021, I went back to stripes. I used all the colored markers I had to create a vibrant pattern.

#artsky #sketchbook #pattern #surfacepattern #abstractart #sketch #abstractsketch #drawings #summersketchbook #stripes

This image shows a page of sketchbook on a table with a floral tablecloth. The page is filled with an abstract colorful striped pattern. You can think of it as an invisible grid that divides the page into a series of long, narrow rectangles, and each rectangle is filled with horizontal lines of a single color. The colors used are 18 in total, if I'm not mistaken, and they are never repeated in adjacent rectangles. The result is a very colorful and vibrant pattern.

DesigndN @ddiniro.bsky.social · Aug 28

This is from August 26, 2021 and I think I was trying to create something new and different from the usual patterns, but I'm not entirely convinced by the result. 😅

#artsky #sketchbook #pattern #surfacepattern #abstractart #sketch #abstractsketch #drawings #summersketchbook

This is will be hard to explain, sorry if I can’t describe the image properly! This image shows a page of sketchbook on a table with a floral tablecloth. The page is filled with an abstract sketch in black and white e some striped elements in pink and green! I use for it a black pen and colored markers. Is divided in 2 vertical sections, the first on the left of the page fill just 1/6 of the short side of the page, It features 4 triangular shapes in vertical sequence, but with the hypotenuse a little curved, with the right angle placed above on the left, filled with a background of thin black stripes, on the lower tip there are black coloured circles, while laterally on the right of the hypotenuse two vertical stripes, one longer and one shorter coloured black complete this part of the drawing. The remaining part of the page is filled with a more classic decoration that divides the design horizontally into five sections. There are five black horizontal lines, the first on the top edge of the short side of the page. Below each black line is a decoration composed of 14 black dots arranged in a horizontal sequence. From the first black dot on the left, an upward curve begins, closing in a semicircle on the third black dot in the sequence. From this same point, a downward semicircle begins, closing in on the fifth black dot. These alternating upward and downward curves continue until the end of the page; the last curve is cut in half. This pattern is then repeated five times under each black line. Between the pattern and the black line, below it, there is a white space and random vertical stripes filled with pink or green horizontal lines. Completing the composition, again randomly on the page, are four rectangles of different sizes colored black that cover part of the pattern below, without any specific pattern.

Let's move on with #drawings of #summersketchbook This page is from August 25, 2021, and I certainly started with an idea, but then I ended up with something completely different 🙃

#artsky #sketchbook #pattern #surfacepattern #abstractart #sketch #abstractsketch

This is will be hard to explain, sorry if I can’t describe the image properly! This image shows a page of sketchbook on a table with a floral tablecloth. The page is filled with an abstract sketch in black and white! I use for it a black pen. Is divided in 3 sections, the first on the left of the page it’s an abstract drawing of curves, lines and shapes that sometimes looks like eyes; the second on top right to the page is filled with black bold tripes and the third on bottom right is filled with a deco pattern, vertical lines alternate with diagonals, decorated with curves and dots on top and bottom and other dots in the middle. It’s seems like 3 different drawings in a 1 page.

Yes, usually most likes come from other artists rather than customers, but they still help to gain a little more visibility on the site and this can lead to sales. So likes are always welcome 😊

August 21, 2021, stripes again! 😄
I really like the color palette I used, I should use it more often maybe. 🤍💜🖤

#summersketchbook #artsky #sketchbook #pattern #surfacepattern #stripes #abstractart #sketch #abstractsketch #drawing

This image shows a page of a sketchbook on orange background (my couch) held at the bottom by two fingers. The page is filled with an abstract design, features a composition of spike vertical zigzagging stripes filled with horizontal stripes in purple, lilac and black. From left to right we have purple thin stripes, then black bold stripes, then lilac thin stripes, then lilac bold stripes, then lilac thin stripes again, then purple thin stripes, then black bold stripes again and lilac bold stripes in the end.

DesigndN @ddiniro.bsky.social · Aug 25

For this #drawing dated August 16, 2021 I clearly opted for a multi-layered, mid-century design. There are still plenty of vertical and diagonal stripes and lines, but also some more rounded geometric shapes.

#summersketchbook #artsky #sketchbook #pattern #surfacepattern #stripes #midcenturypattern

This image shows a page of a notebook on a orange background (my couch) held by fingers. The page is filled with a repeated pattern. The motif features a mid century modern inspired geometries alternate with vertical stripes, every space and shapes are filled with a striped pattern with diagonal lines, Just some shapes and the vertical stripes are full colored with black or green. The big rounded shapes are filled with diagonal black stripes. All the background is filled with diagonal yellow stripes. Between one shape and another there are small vertical red stripes as if to join the various shapes that make up the design.

This is dated August 14, 2021
I never realized that most of the #drawings in this #sketchbook are striped or have #stripes within the composition. They are probably due to the original layout of the diary.

#summersketchbook #artsky #pattern #surfacepattern #abstractart #sketch #abstractsketch

This image shows an open sketchbook on a wood background (the parquet floor in my bedroom). Both visible pages are filled with an abstract design, features a composition of spike waves reminiscent of mountains filled with stripes in different colors. From the bottom to the top, the first wave is colored with vertical large light blue and white stripes, the second wave is colored white thin yellow vertical lines, the third wave is colored with alternating green large and thin vertical stripes, the fourth wave is similar to the first, but the stripes are grey, the last wave is colored with black thin vertical lines.

On August 13, 2021 I went simple and minimal. Just black and white curves and lines. 🤍🖤 Maybe I should create a digital artwork from this. 😊

#summersketchbook #artsky #sketchbook #pattern #surfacepattern #stripes #abstractart #sketch #abstractsketch #drawing #minimalism #miminalart

This image shows a page of a notebook on a orange background (my couch). The page is filled with a minimal black and white drawing, curves and lines create a simple and harmonious abstract composition. Most of the page is left blank, and wavy lines drawn with a black pen create a very minimal pattern.

DesigndN @ddiniro.bsky.social · Aug 20

August 12, 2021, I'm not even sure how to describe this drawing 😄 I think I started with the vertical lines that created a grid, then I played with different shapes and colors.

#summersketchbook #artsky #sketchbook #pattern #surfacepattern #stripes #abstractart #sketch #abstractsketch #drawing

This image shows a page of a notebook on a wood table, held by two fingers. The page is filled with a repeated pattern. The motif features alternating vertical, horizontal, and diagonal elements that lend movement to the composition, further accentuated by the alternating four colors. Pink, black, yellow, and green elements, plus the blank sections, form an irregular grid composed of a base of rectangular elements alternating with vertical stripes, overlaid by horizontal bands composed of irregularly triangular elements.

It was August 11, 2021 and I was definitely at the seaside when I made this sketch, there are waves and stripes and an architectural hint.

#summersketchbook #artsky #sketchbook #pattern #surfacepattern #stripes #abstractart #sketch #abstractsketch #drawing

This image show a page of a notebook held by an hand. The page is filled with a layerd schetck. On the top there’s a building with orange-colored arched windows and little stairs with three steps leading to a second layer, a yellow stripe with black wavy lines representing a beach. The last level, which takes up three-quarters of the page, represents the sea and is composed of wavy horizontal black lines colored with blue vertical stripes alternating with vertical stripes left uncolored through which the original writing of the old diary used as a sketchbook can be seen.

In 2021, I was definitely trying to experiment as much as possible with striped patterns 😁 In this case with a classic black and white combination 🖤🤍

#summersketchbook #artsky #sketchbook #pattern #surfacepattern #stripes #abstractart #sketch #blackandwhite #abstractsketch #stripedpattern #drawing

This image show a page of a notebook held by an hand. The page is compliance filled with a back and white striped pattern. A composition of wavy, horizontal lines that create separate areas filled with vertical stripes in black and white. The white parts are not colored, but they are left without color and therefore you can see the writing and lines of the agenda page. The entire artwork conveys a sense of rhythm and movement through the alternating black stripes.

DesigndN @ddiniro.bsky.social · Aug 4

Grazie mille! 😊 Non ci avevo pensato, ma in effetti si prestano anche come ricami, potrei usarli per fare pratica magari! 😁

DesigndN @ddiniro.bsky.social · Aug 4

É molto probabile che sia stata ispirata da qualche tessuto quando li ho fatti, non lo ricordo 😅 ma comunque di solito quando disegno senza uno scopo preciso o penso a qualche tessuto o alla carta da parati 😁

DesigndN @ddiniro.bsky.social · Jul 31

I really don't know why I made this drawing on August 6, 2021, even the photo didn't come out very well 😅 Maybe I just tried not to follow too rigid a pattern! 😊

#summerscketchbook #artsky #sketchbook #pattern #texture #drawing #abstractart #geometricart #sketch #geometricsketch #abstractsketch

This image shows an open sketchbook held by an open hand. Both visible pages are filled with an abstract design, features a composition of angular, non-linear shapes filled with colorful (orange, blue, purple and pink) striped textures on a grey striped background.

Overlapped on the entire drawing are two horizontal bars, one almost in the center and the other lower down, almost at the edge of the composition, composed of small vertical black segments of various heights placed side by side.

The entire drawing creates a sense of motion and rhythm through the alternating of stripes, shapes and colors.

This image shows a square grid-based abstract drawing made on a dotted notebook page. The grid is filled with a patchwork of small geometric shapes—mostly squares and rectangles—with various sections containing quarter circles and rounded edges. The shapes are colored in pastel shades of pink, green, yellow, purple, and light blue, using felt-tip pens visible at the bottom of the image. The markers, placed diagonally, match the colors used in the drawing and include caps in pink, mint green, yellow, and lavender. The background is a light wooden surface, and the notebook is slightly curved at the top right corner. The overall design has a playful, retro feel and appears to be a hand-drawn pattern emphasizing symmetry and color variation.

This image shows a digital reinterpretation of a geometric artwork displayed on a tablet screen. The digital artwork mimics a hand-drawn design visible above it in a physical notebook. Both versions consist of a grid filled with colorful geometric shapes—squares and rectangles, often featuring quarter circles or curved edges. The digital version is cleaner and more vibrant, with soft pastel tones of pink, green, yellow, and purple, and a smooth, slightly textured finish that gives a chalk or soft-brush effect.

The tablet is lying on a wooden surface, next to the original notebook. Above the tablet are five felt-tip pens with pastel-colored caps (pink, yellow, green, purple, and blue), matching the colors used in both artworks. A stylus with a peach-colored grip rests horizontally across the top edge of the tablet, suggesting that it was used to create the digital version. The screen shows the name of the artwork file: Soft Candy Tiles, and various drawing tools are visible on the left side of the interface.

It was August 5th, 2021 when I drew these, I don't remember what inspired me, but I definitely wanted to experiment with striped textures. 😄

#summersketchbook #surfacepattern #artsky #sketchbook #pattern #drawing #sketch #stripedpattern #textures #stripes

The image shows an open notebook resting on a fabric with a soft floral pattern. Both visible pages are completely filled with colorful abstract drawings made up of stripes.

The left page features a composition of wavy, intertwining lines that create separate areas filled with diagonal stripes in various colors: blue, red, beige, black, and white. The overall effect is similar to a fluid, dynamic mosaic, with the stripes following the curves of the black lines that outline the shapes.

The right page, in contrast, is more linear and orderly. It consists of a series of vertical parallel stripes, each with different patterns: some are zigzagged, others dotted, or filled with diagonal or wavy lines. The dominant colors here are pink, black, brown, orange, purple, and white.

The entire artwork conveys a sense of rhythm and movement through the alternating vibrant colors and repeating patterns.
