Research & tutorial

After having a tutorial this week we spoke about looking at historical and traditional patterns with in my culture. So I went home and spoke to my parents and asked them a few questions about tribal areas and traditional patterns in Pakistan. One of the main things I'd gathered information about were colours and pattern in mosques and henna. I looked up different mosques and found beautiful images of exquisite elegant patterns and beautiful bright reds and gold colours. I found beautiful tiles with every inch of space covered in the most stunning islamic patterns. My dad also brought out a beautiful burgundy coloured scarf called 'ajrak' that is a burgundy colour with stunning repetitive patterns. I feel excited about using all this inspiration in my next drawings!
