Messing On llustrator

Today i scanned in all my design worksheets and drawings from my sketchbook and began to play about and experiment on illustrator, i didn't want to start designing and creating pattern at such an early stage but i thought it may inspire me to draw differently or give me new ideas. Here's a few to look at....

 I created backgrounds from moth wings and insect wings and overlaid them with insects and flower images in different scales to see what different effects i could achieve. I didn't really want to put different filters on them and change the way they looked but i did want to change the colours and keep some of my images as observational drawings as i think they work well together.
