#30FlowersInMyStyle Design Challenge - 1st edition 2019

Some time in the middle of 2019, I had this idea about hosting a design challenge over Instagram. It should serve several purposes like practicing my drawing and painting skills, have a schedule, show my work but most important was to connect people and encourage them to show their talent. I decided to go for flowers and picked randomly 30 of them, one for each day. Before launching the challenge, I had less than 400 followers, so I also wanted to get more but also get to know new designers and their work. By the end of the challenge I had almost 500 AND some new creative friends. It was great to wake up every morning and see what other artists -literally- ALL over the world had been creating.

One month in advance, I started drawing, painting and putting the motifs together. They soon became patterns. I couldn't decide if I should post the prints or the patterns so I posted both. Here are some scans of the process:
