By Dorte Andersson, 26 april, 2010, No Comment

If you want to change the size of a pattern in IllustratorCS4  – how do you do it?

It is very simple when you know it and very frustrating when you don’t know it. I was very happy when I found out.

1) Download the Illustrator file   401.ai – zipfile and unzip it.

Gentle flowers rotating around themselves 2

When I was a child my father painted canvasses full of rotating flowers – I think this has influenced me this time. I looked at his canvases for hours. And have one of these flower canvas on my wall even today. My father had no fear mixing styles and changing styles – He just did what he found was best at the time. Today  many of us get influenced by all kinds of artwork and illustrations.

Every summer I have big Dahlias in my garden. It is overwhelming and a great experience.

It is my hope that the blog solution will be much better. I am sorry for the inconvenience some of you will have in the beginning. Try to find the image by tag or category.

To Draw Flowers by Hand and with an Ordinary Pencil

When the drawings have the personal touch – it is much more exciting, it is more rare. And the drawings will complete the feeling of personality. Something you can’t buy from the nearest grocer. It is a special thing. Use the images as part of your own work or as a decorative design element.
