July Doodle Moth Pattern

July Doodle

My CLmooc friends doodle every day.

Moth Pattern — I thought today that a flurry of little moths settling in for the daytime on lovely leaves would fit the theme this week and the palette.

First I drew the leaves and then the moths. I used the technique of keeping the two on separate layers and removing the background to copy/paste the whole of their elements onto one layer to begin the pattern, filling in with one more leave and a few more moths. I created two versions– one purple and one green.

Brushes: oberon, ink bleed, studio pen; my own pattern backgrounds; Freya.art paper brush on moths and leaves; Jen’s texture background
