Art Deco Geometrica: Four Point Vectors

When I started this hobby of mine, the initial patterns were all on the smaller side of the grid, not being bigger than 10 x 10 or less. I was still on the thinking of “maximizing” my grid notebook and focused on drawing a bunch of patterns in one sitting.

So following this “small square trend,” Pattern 002 (2024) is only on a 9 x 9 grid—since I wanted to see how an odd numbered square grid may affect the works.

I call this one “Four Point Vectors” as I am beginning to test the idea of a 4-point symmetrical pattern to create seamless creations later when the pattern is encoded digitally.

Four Point Vectors focuses on creating double pointed star patterns at the “edges” of the square, while the central element has a diamond configuration to counter the sharpness of the pattern edges. Encoded, the seamless pattern presents itself like so:

On a grid pattern, the double pointed stars become more apparent—this is the first glimmers of the iteration process that I come to enjoy when I make the base patterns. There is a sense of discovery on my part since I only draw the seed pattern, but what comes out in the iterations can be surprising.

For example, this iteration (available in Adobe Stock) of Pattern 2024.002 adds a strong diamond element to the pattern and emphasizes the double pointed stars to created a sort of cross design.

If you like this pattern, you can support me by visiting my Adobe Stock page, checking out the other patterns I have made over this past year, looking at my Redbubble shop, and going to my YouTube channel to see me draw these patterns!

The previous pattern I talked about, Angular Solace, can be found here.
