The first time I showed my grandparents my symmetrical patterns, they were both impressed, but Grandpa expressed disappointment that none of them were his favorite color, forest green.

Since I was visiting them again this week, I decided that this time, I'd have a pattern ready just for Grandpa. Unfortunately, Google search gave me multiple different answers when I asked it what forest green looks like, so this turned out to be a little too light, but he was still happy with it.

The shape was inspired by a piece of advice I got from a fellow member of ProjectComment, who suggested that I try using fractals in one of my snowflakes. I'm still a bit unclear as to what constitutes a fractal - a core principle seems to be the same shape repeating itself at ever-smaller scales - but I THINK I made one.

This pattern was deliberately designed to look good when tiled; here's an example of what that looks like:

Poor baby. So little idea why this is happening, so quick to assume it's because they did something wrong, and so many old habits and beliefs they will need to unlearn if they're going to make it through this.

It doesn't help that their current opponent is one of the mentally weirder monsters in Undertale. The Vegetoid seems to have a sort of selective intelligence; it can speak a little, but it doesn't seem to be aware of this fact, and denies it every time it's spoken to.

It's smart enough to understand that a hand on the stomach can indicate hunger and that vegetable-shaped bullets resemble food, but not smart enough to realize that white bullets hurt people, and that its violent behavior can scare people away from touching ANY of its bullets, even the beneficial green ones.

Put all of this together, and it leaves Frisk in a dangerous position. The only way to placate the Vegetoid peacefully is to accept its "meal", but the thought of doing that brings up memories the poor kid doesn't want to relive. Especially not when their HP is low, and they don't yet know that they can self-resurrect.

Also, on a meta note, THAT RIBBON. I knew that ribbon was going to be trouble the moment I started adding it, and sure enough, I have nearly forgotten to put it in almost every panel where it appears. Heaven help me.

​The idea for this pattern was to make the main structure in reverse rainbow order, with red in the middle and purple on the outer edge, then switch that around for the smaller decorations I used to fill it out.

The result was a pattern that was initially meant to be a snowflake, but by the time I was finished, it didn't really look like one aside from having 6 spokes.
​
For some reason it makes me think "carnival" - maybe because of the ribbon-like shapes and the parts that resemble hanging lights.  The curtains around the edges were added after I decided on the name, to go with the theme.

I was listening to Celestial Garden by one of my favorite composers on YouTube, and it made me want to draw some flowers. Almost everything in this picture was drawn with the same brush I use for my snowflakes, except for a few spots where I used a different, soft-edged brush to adjust the shading.

It was a bit of a challenge coming up with enough different shapes to keep any of the large flowers from being repeats of the others, but thankfully Google was there with lists of different types of flowers. :)

If you want to learn how to use the brush I drew this with, as well as the technique I used to create the symmetrical flowers, check out my tutorial here.

The tutorial is geared toward drawing snowflakes, but the same brush/technique combo can be used to draw flowers, too. You can actually use it to create a fully shaded flower petal with a single stroke, once you've mastered it. 

It's available on coffee mugs, tapestries, pillows and more in my Society6 store, and most of them are 25% off today (June 9, 2019).

​For the last few months, I’ve been sharing symmetrical snowflake patterns with you. This hobby has turned out to be so relaxing, fun, and surprisingly easy that I wanted to give you the chance to learn how to do it, too.

So I took all the tools, tips and steps I use to create these patterns, and I put them together in a series of bite-size video tutorials and published them on SkillShare.

The class is 41 minutes long, and you can use this link to get an entire month of access for free! Go here to watch my snowflake tutorial.

On top of learning how to create symmetrical snowflakes, you’ll also discover how to sell these patterns as prints and physical merchandise like coffee cups, so you can turn this hobby into an income source if you want to.

I can’t wait to hear what you think of this class, and to see what kind of art you use it to create!

Also, if you know someone who you think would enjoy drawing symmetrical patterns, please share this link with them. I really appreciate it!

Hey guys,

I’ve been a bit quieter than usual lately, so I thought I’d let you know what I’ve been working on that’s been keeping me so busy.

I was invited to teach on a site called SkillShare, where students can access thousands of different courses on a wide variety of topics for a single monthly payment. (Unless, of course, you're one of my students - in which case, I can get you a two-month membership for free.) ;)

I decided to accept the invitation, and this week, I published my new course, Low-Cost Marketing for Small Businesses and Freelancers.

In it, I explain how to:

1. Choose the target audience that needs you most and is the most likely to buy from you

2. Create an awesome service package that makes you stand out

3. Describe that offer in a way that makes people want to buy it

4. Overcome objections in a way that creates connection and trust instead of feeling pushy or salesy

As a teacher on the site, I’m allowed to do something special for my followers:

I can get you two months of FREE premium access to SkillShare, which includes my course and all the other courses you’d normally have to pay to watch.

Click here to check out my class and sign up.

I don't know how long this promo will last, so if this is something you’d like to take advantage of, please claim your two months of free premium membership right away!

I'm planning to create more classes in the future, including a tutorial for drawing snowflake patterns like the ones I've been publishing lately. If you want to stay updated on my new classes, please follow me on SkillShare.

​I made this one ludicrously late at night, while creating the slides for a new marketing course I'm putting together on a deadline.

This was actually based on a quick snowflake doodle I did a while ago. I've been coming up with shapes and color schemes for snowflakes faster than I can draw them, so I started a file to store all my ideas until I could flesh them out.

This pattern is available on coffee mugs, shower curtains, blankets and more in my Society6 store. Here are some examples of products adorned with Snowflake Sunset:

​I took a slightly different approach  when drawing this snowflake; I knew what I wanted the outer border to look like, so I drew that first, then made up the rest as I went along.

I'd originally had an idea of what I wanted to put in the interior, but when I actually drew it, it didn't go well with the parts I'd already drawn, so I scrapped that idea and improvised.

​I liked the idea of a lighter blue snowflake against a dark blue background, and I wanted to make another pattern with wider, more gently curved spokes and the intricate details on the inside instead of the outside, like I did with Starry Snow Spiral.

After I created the background gradient, I realized the way it went from lighter on top to darker on the bottom reminded me of the ocean, so I decided to add a wave pattern.​

​Yet another snowflake pattern. :) I especially love the color scheme on this one; I’m a sucker for blue.
​ 

I'd originally planned for the lighter purplish spokes to be the main part of this snowflake, with smaller and narrower additions in between. But then I added those wider, petal-like shapes behind the secondary spokes as an experiment, and liked the effect so much that I decided to keep it.

​As I usually do with my symmetrical patterns, I've added it to my Society6 store, so you can get clocks, pillows, notebooks, and more with this artwork on them.

Below, you can see examples of what some of these items look like.
