- Welcome back to another surface pattern design vlog! 🫶🏼 One of my big goals for the first quarter of 2024 is to finish my surface pattern design portfolio so I can start pitching my artwork to companies because I'm working on making my way into the art licensing world! 🤸🏻♂️💃🕺🏽 I decided to start this year with a hand-painted birthday pattern collection, and I love where it's going! 🎉🥳🎈
🤔 What other patterns could you envision in this collection? And, what products do you think these patterns would look best on?

PLEASE keep making vlogs about surface design. It's my comfort video and I feel like it's hard to find youtubers vlogging their progress. I AM OBSESSED.
This means so much, Jazmin!! I totally agree -- one of the reasons I started making these videos was because I couldn't find anybody else sharing about their surface pattern design journey, but I'm totally with you. I love watching transparent, behind-the-scenes vlogs! Don't worry -- I will definitely keep making these! Making them brings me so much joy! 🫶
I loved this video, thank you for sharing these little looks into your life ☺☺☺
Yay, so glad you loved it!!
If they're not already on your list, consider submitting a portfolio to Smokey Hill Designs. Some of your stuff might fit in pretty well. Do you have a cat collection? A pancake collection? No problem getting models for either of those. P.S. Also a data nerd, R > Matlab!
Ooo, thanks for the tip! I’ll definitely look into that! You know, I shockingly don’t have a cat collection yet. I really should get on that! I actually started working on a breakfast food collection, though 😆
(Yes!!! R is the best!)
Loved your vlog !! So inspiring ! Loving the birthday collection !! And yes you need a kitty collection too!! Can’t wait for your newsletter; I think I signed up awhile back 🎉
Thank you!! I’m gonna have to make that kitty collection happen 😆. And I’m so excited that you’ve signed up for my newsletter! Keep an eye on your inbox tomorrow 👀
Money guy!! Love them woohoo
SAME I love a good money guy jump scare
Hazel was a great contributor to this vlog
She's a diva and she knows she deserves to be the star of the show 💅🏼
Hey Sarah! I also love a vlog, especially when it includes delicious pancake recipes, scrumptious birthday cake sketches, and lovely humans like yourself 😘. Also, those kitties are simply adorable. ❤❤❤ looking forward to your newsletter!!! Ciaoo 😊
Awww thank you so much!! You always leave me the kindest comments 😭💕🫶 Thank you for watching, and for being such a wonderful cheerleader!!
Hey Sarah! This was fun to watch! I feel a bit of burn out creeping up from working on deadlines I've been setting for myself, so it was nice to take a break and watch someone else paint 😅
I'm really loving your birthday collection, I think it would make great gift wrap and party supplies!
Also, how do you work in Photoshop without a mouse!?? Lol I cannot navigate, much less work on a pattern without my mouse!
Ahh so glad I could help you step off the burnout train!! To be avoided at all costs!!
LOL this is a great question! Most of the time I do use my mouse, but I guess there were clips in this video where I didn’t show it 😆. I have a Bluetooth mouse that I can use on basically any surface, so if I’m working on the couch I often just have it on the cushion next to me haha
I have to go to work this morning so this was awesome to watch/listen to while getting ready. Plus it’s inspiring. The process seems very rewarding especially since the patterns look fantastic. Nice work!❤
I'm so glad I could keep you company while you got ready this morning!! I'm a big fan of putting vlogs on in the background while I do other things 😆 Thank you for your kind words! Even if the process is tedious at times, it's definitely rewarding.
@@pepostudios I started on the other videos. It’ll help me get focused. Thank you for your hard-work!
@@alicee2952 thank you for being here!!
First go lions
Go cats
@jackhawn9730 @@Thegingerbass1 lol at this whole exchange 😂🫶
SIlly question. Are you having to pay a monthly fee to use the softwares you use to create your pattern designs? Or have you brought it somehow?
I do pay a subscription for the Adobe products ☺️ but I also just started using Procreate, which is a one time fee!
I don't even own a ipad...would a samsung tablet best or a wacom?@@pepostudios
