This image shows a page of sketchbook held by two fingers on a orange background (my couch). The page is filled with an abstract striped sketch. 3/4 of the page from the bottom has a design with overlapping horizontal waves, inside they are colored alternately with a blue marker with full, large vertical stripes and with thin vertical striped stripes. The waves are drawn with a black pen. The top part of the page is simply colored in stripes with a purple marker.

And so on August 31, 2021 I returned to stripes 😅🙈 It's interesting to find out that I had made so many striped drawings, which I then almost never used in my digital patterns.

This is will be hard to explain, sorry if I can’t describe the image properly! This image shows an open sketchbook on a table with a floral tablecloth. The pages are filled with an abstract sketch in black and white. It looks like a mosaic made up of large irregular tiles, each of which is designed with a different pattern, it almost seems like a patchwork of different fabrics or a Kintsugi work with all different ceramic pieces. The patterns in the various pieces are all different, some are more geometric and some more organic, some floral, others striped. One is checkered and another is scalloped. Some have ethnic motifs inspired by mudcloth.

This is from August 30, 2021 an irregular patchwork of several #patterns in #blackandwhite reminds me a coloring book. Maybe if I had added a gold touch it would have looked like Kintsugi art.

This image shows a page of sketchbook held by my hand. The page is filled with a drawing on two overlapped layers, the first is a tiled pattern drawn with a black pen that recalls the design of old square tiles. The second layer is an abstract drawing with 2 organic shapes colored on in brown and one in green in the center, rounded by a big red vertical striped shape with a yellow outline. There are also 4 other shapes on the side edges of the page, on the left they are only partially visible and are colored green with a yellow outline, while on the right they are slightly more visible and are brown. The rest of the background is filled with pink horizontal stripes.

It was August 28, 2021 and the old tiles of a seaside house inspired me, so I designed this pattern with two overlapping layers.

This image shows a page of sketchbook on a table with a floral tablecloth. The page is filled with an abstract colorful striped pattern. You can think of it as an invisible grid that divides the page into a series of long, narrow rectangles, and each rectangle is filled with horizontal lines of a single color. The colors used are 18 in total, if I'm not mistaken, and they are never repeated in adjacent rectangles. The result is a very colorful and vibrant pattern.

After two days of unconventional composition on August 27, 2021, I went back to stripes. I used all the colored markers I had to create a vibrant pattern.

This is will be hard to explain, sorry if I can’t describe the image properly! This image shows a page of sketchbook on a table with a floral tablecloth. The page is filled with an abstract sketch in black and white e some striped elements in pink and green! I use for it a black pen and colored markers. Is divided in 2 vertical sections, the first on the left of the page fill just 1/6 of the short side of the page, It features 4 triangular shapes in vertical sequence, but with the hypotenuse a little curved, with the right angle placed above on the left, filled with a background of thin black stripes, on the lower tip there are black coloured circles, while laterally on the right of the hypotenuse two vertical stripes, one longer and one shorter coloured black complete this part of the drawing. The remaining part of the page is filled with a more classic decoration that divides the design horizontally into five sections. There are five black horizontal lines, the first on the top edge of the short side of the page. Below each black line is a decoration composed of 14 black dots arranged in a horizontal sequence. From the first black dot on the left, an upward curve begins, closing in a semicircle on the third black dot in the sequence. From this same point, a downward semicircle begins, closing in on the fifth black dot. These alternating upward and downward curves continue until the end of the page; the last curve is cut in half. This pattern is then repeated five times under each black line. Between the pattern and the black line, below it, there is a white space and random vertical stripes filled with pink or green horizontal lines. Completing the composition, again randomly on the page, are four rectangles of different sizes colored black that cover part of the pattern below, without any specific pattern.

This is from August 26, 2021 and I think I was trying to create something new and different from the usual patterns, but I'm not entirely convinced by the result. 😅

This is will be hard to explain, sorry if I can’t describe the image properly! This image shows a page of sketchbook on a table with a floral tablecloth. The page is filled with an abstract sketch in black and white! I use for it a black pen. Is divided in 3 sections, the first on the left of the page it’s an abstract drawing of curves, lines and shapes that sometimes looks like eyes; the second on top right to the page is filled with black bold tripes and the third on bottom right is filled with a deco pattern, vertical lines alternate with diagonals, decorated with curves and dots on top and bottom and other dots in the middle. It’s seems like 3 different drawings in a 1 page.

Let's move on with #drawings of #summersketchbook This page is from August 25, 2021, and I certainly started with an idea, but then I ended up with something completely different 🙃

#artsky #sketchbook #pattern #surfacepattern #abstractart #sketch #abstractsketch

This image shows a page of a sketchbook on orange background (my couch) held at the bottom by two fingers. The page is filled with an abstract design, features a composition of spike vertical zigzagging stripes filled with horizontal stripes in purple, lilac and black. From left to right we have purple thin stripes, then black bold stripes, then lilac thin stripes, then lilac bold stripes, then lilac thin stripes again, then purple thin stripes, then black bold stripes again and lilac bold stripes in the end.

August 21, 2021, stripes again! 😄
I really like the color palette I used, I should use it more often maybe. 🤍💜🖤

This image shows a page of a notebook on a orange background (my couch) held by fingers. The page is filled with a repeated pattern. The motif features a mid century modern inspired geometries alternate with vertical stripes, every space and shapes are filled with a striped pattern with diagonal lines, Just some shapes and the vertical stripes are full colored with black or green. The big rounded shapes are filled with diagonal black stripes. All the background is filled with diagonal yellow stripes. Between one shape and another there are small vertical red stripes as if to join the various shapes that make up the design.

For this #drawing dated August 16, 2021 I clearly opted for a multi-layered, mid-century design. There are still plenty of vertical and diagonal stripes and lines, but also some more rounded geometric shapes.

This image shows an open sketchbook on a wood background (the parquet floor in my bedroom). Both visible pages are filled with an abstract design, features a composition of spike waves reminiscent of mountains filled with stripes in different colors. From the bottom to the top, the first wave is colored with vertical large light blue and white stripes, the second wave is colored white thin yellow vertical lines, the third wave is colored with alternating green large and thin vertical stripes, the fourth wave is similar to the first, but the stripes are grey, the last wave is colored with black thin vertical lines.

This is dated August 14, 2021
I never realized that most of the #drawings in this #sketchbook are striped or have #stripes within the composition. They are probably due to the original layout of the diary.

This image shows a page of a notebook on a orange background (my couch). The page is filled with a minimal black and white drawing, curves and lines create a simple and harmonious abstract composition. Most of the page is left blank, and wavy lines drawn with a black pen create a very minimal pattern.

On August 13, 2021 I went simple and minimal. Just black and white curves and lines. 🤍🖤 Maybe I should create a digital artwork from this. 😊

This image shows a page of a notebook on a wood table, held by two fingers. The page is filled with a repeated pattern. The motif features alternating vertical, horizontal, and diagonal elements that lend movement to the composition, further accentuated by the alternating four colors. Pink, black, yellow, and green elements, plus the blank sections, form an irregular grid composed of a base of rectangular elements alternating with vertical stripes, overlaid by horizontal bands composed of irregularly triangular elements.

August 12, 2021, I'm not even sure how to describe this drawing 😄 I think I started with the vertical lines that created a grid, then I played with different shapes and colors.

This image show a page of a notebook held by an hand. The page is filled with a layerd schetck. On the top there’s a building with orange-colored arched windows and little stairs with three steps leading to a second layer, a yellow stripe with black wavy lines representing a beach. The last level, which takes up three-quarters of the page, represents the sea and is composed of wavy horizontal black lines colored with blue vertical stripes alternating with vertical stripes left uncolored through which the original writing of the old diary used as a sketchbook can be seen.

It was August 11, 2021 and I was definitely at the seaside when I made this sketch, there are waves and stripes and an architectural hint.

This image show a page of a notebook held by an hand. The page is compliance filled with a back and white striped pattern. A composition of wavy, horizontal lines that create separate areas filled with vertical stripes in black and white. The white parts are not colored, but they are left without color and therefore you can see the writing and lines of the agenda page. The entire artwork conveys a sense of rhythm and movement through the alternating black stripes.

In 2021, I was definitely trying to experiment as much as possible with striped patterns 😁 In this case with a classic black and white combination 🖤🤍

The image shows an open notebook resting on a fabric with a soft floral pattern. Both visible pages are completely filled with colorful abstract drawings made up of stripes. The left page features a composition of wavy, intertwining lines that create separate areas filled with diagonal stripes in various colors: blue, red, beige, black, and white. The overall effect is similar to a fluid, dynamic mosaic, with the stripes following the curves of the black lines that outline the shapes. The right page, in contrast, is more linear and orderly. It consists of a series of vertical parallel stripes, each with different patterns: some are zigzagged, others dotted, or filled with diagonal or wavy lines. The dominant colors here are pink, black, brown, orange, purple, and white. The entire artwork conveys a sense of rhythm and movement through the alternating vibrant colors and repeating patterns.

It was August 5th, 2021 when I drew these, I don't remember what inspired me, but I definitely wanted to experiment with striped textures. 😄

Two sketched pattern on my sketch book, on the left a geometric grid with shapes, where each square is striped with alternating vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines in yellow, green, and black. On the right, a botanical pattern of a climbing plant on a geometric fence with very elongated green hexagons vertically. Yellow, green, and black pens on paper.

These two are dated August 3, 2021 I was in vacation and inspired by a range of fence covered by any kind of plants and from the concrete tiles of the sidewalks I made these patterns on my #summersketchbook

A sketched pattern with colorful, striped, dotted or colored rectangles and geometric shapes fit together like pieces of a puzzle. Pink, blue, brown, yellow and black markers on paper.

This is the fourth drawing of my #summersketchbook it was the end of July 2021 and it is clear that my passion for textures and geometry has always been with me 😀

Started #doodling in this old planner back in July 2021. Still not done, clearly not a daily habit. I #draw when I’m inspired, not to feed the ‘art grind’ nonsense social media loves so much.
Even a silly #sketch can be freeing when it's just for joy. 🫰

Abstract sketch of June 25, 2025. Black pen and pastels on old diary.

In summer I slow down #pattern work, the heat makes me restless. 😔 I mostly share past #designs on social media and sketch in old diary, just for fun. No trends or challenges, just whatever inspires me, often tiles. 😆
