Beads
I wanted to use a lot of colour in this sketch and practice making accurate shapes. I then got the idea of beads on strings. The quad shape on the right took a bit of figuring out for it to look in proportion and resemble a diamond shaped bead. I also learnt how to put the code in the right order so that commands like stroke weight, for example, wouldn't effect the shapes only the lines.
Shark Skin
Even though this sketch is quite simple I found it the most interesting because it resembles shark skin. I first started changing the coordinates of the wallpaper template that we got in our first studio, then I found it started to look like some sort of scales. I googled scales and eventually i came across shark skin. I played around with the code until it resembled the image.
Berry
While I was researching patterns I came across two that I quite liked and took the idea of using circles, curves, cream and deep red as a starting point. I then adapted the code to create a simplistic but elegant design.
Black and White Layers
Again this sketch was inspired by a pattern I researched. I liked the idea of layering oval shapes and using grey scale colouring to add some depth to the sketch. I wanted to add a number of lines to get the pinstripe effect as well, but i would need to find a way to short cut the process so i wasn't there all day creating individual lines. Please let me know if you have any ideas.

This is the image I found when i researched shark skin and used it to get ideas for my code.

This image was my inspiration for the Black and White Layers sketch. Though I was unable to figure out how, in processor, to manipulate the ovals the way the ovals in this image bend.
