These tips are so useful. I have some artwork and quite a few repeat patterns in folders on my desktop that I’ve created over the past couple of years but I’m not quite sure what to do with them. Thank you for explaining so well.
One thing that is holding me back is I have art but I don’t know how to present it. Like would an art director be interested in seeing a single flower watercolor or should I put it into a pattern first?
It depends on what product category you're going for. A pattern isn't useful for a greeting card for example. That's why I suggest studying the market of the types of products you're interested in. If you need help with this check out www.elizabethsilver.com/focus
In the examples I show ....for my *OWN* portfolio, I rework my *OWN* art- like the lemon and tile design as shown. The second example where I'm reworking other navy bird/vine art- that art is owned (previously purchased) by the company I was freelancing for, so they are paying me to help make the art they own even better and more appropriate for their products.
Thank you so much…. I’m binge watching ALL your videos as I draw. You’re dope.
Thank you so much 😀

So glad this makes sense!

@@ElizabethSilver Thanks!
When you restyle or rework someone else's design, how is it not considered copying or plagiarizing their work?
