“What is Creative Mondays?
Monday’s are always a drag. The start of a new week, you have to go back to that routine of going to bed early/get up early. If (like me) you have to commute then you prepare for that long journey into work and that long journey back for the first time after a nice two day break.
So to kick off those lousy Mondays, I’m going to get my creative mind flowing in a positive way. Creative Mondays. A chance for me to show off something unfinished or finished that I’ve been working on throughout the previous week.”
This week’s idea came from two simple lines. I was experimenting with the pen tool in Illustrator and created these two lines that curled away from each other in a very organic way. Something as simple as that can start an idea (and let it grow) and so I decided to turn the lines into a growing plant.
Once I had the shapes I wanted I imported the file into Photoshop and worked on the lighting and texture elements. I really like the simplicity of this piece, it’s great to pause, reflect and be inspired!
