British Butterfly pattern

I designed this for a Prince's Trust retail brief. I don't have any expectation of winning, but it did get me focused on completing another project throughout the end of December and the very start of January. The butterflies were originally graphite pencil sketches that I then took into Photoshop, and did my thing with colouring them in. What frustrates me about this is that it always takes much MUCH longer than you'd expect. Even after doing an illustration degree I don't expect it to take as long as it does. I guess that all I can hope for is that it pays off!

UPDATES

I haven't updated much here for a while- this is actually because I have been super busy writing a business plan... well... getting there... ish... and more importantly designing some more stuff! I want to expand my Etsy stock (which is basically what my business proposal is about, I want to try and secure some funding so that I can effectively buy more stock and make my shop a bit more successful than it is at the moment...) Over the past while, I've been designing a cat themed, and a thistle and heather themed pattern for fabric and mugs, which I will post on here once completed. I have also been creating designs for pocket mirrors, which are more affordable to me at the moment. Here's an example, but I have plenty more to come!
