I did these designs for a friend who wanted to help me out by giving me the freedom to paint some leather bags and actually getting paid for my service.
I can't express enough how nice it feels to receive the honour of a vote of confidence when someone pretty much says:hey, you're talented, I trust you to do your thing on these and I will pay you.
I love to have creative freedom therefore I was totally in my element.
I wanted to paint the first leather bag with a simple white pattern.
Some pictures taken during the painting process:
The second one is more colorful. I wanted to keep it simple as I tend to overcomplicate things.
The backpack already had a bright blue colour so I thought that a more abstract simple design would have been better. I watched a documentary about zebras one night before so I guess I took some inspiration from there.
I had a good time painting these as I always feel in a state of flow when I paint馃グ
