Description
(Actually these were all sketched over the last week.) I don't have a sketchbook, usually I draw on whatever lined/grid paper I have when I should be taking notes in lecture. And I found these amazing erasable pens and markers by Pilot, so I get the feeling of drawing with ink (which I love) and I can still neaten them up a bit. And the markers are amazing!! ERASABLE RAINBOW MARKERS WOWTop row:
Jellyfish
Random page with random ideas (medallions? hanging flowers?)
Valentine's hearts
Bottom row:
Lantern-inspired designs. Can you tell I really, really love Chinese New Year?
So I have time in a week to draw this many things, but only time to make...one. OTL
EDIT:
Thank you so much for the DD!!
1. They are not meant to be grief seeds, though after googling that I can certainly see the resemblance
2. Erasable pen is Pilot Frixon, markers are Pilot Frixon Colours. I bought both locally but you can find them on Amazon.com as well.
3. Permissions for drawing/jewelry based on these designs: YES, but please don't sell them, and please link to this deviation in the comments. And if you send me the link to your work I'll +fav it
4. Where I get inspiration from (specific to this set of designs):
-Animals/Flowers like Jellyfish and Fuschia.
-Hanging things like Chinese lanterns/knots/tassels/charms.
-Props/costumes from Cantonese and Teochew opera that my parents watch.
-And of course, from other awesome jewelry artists like , , etc.
5. Yes, that is Owl City

You should make one in the shape of a 4 leaf clover for good luck. DD Since you've been getting some luck to be able to get the DD, then again, that's from your hard word! =w=

I really love these. I agree with people, this seriously reminded me a lot of Grief Seeds. I've also seen your jewelry; it looks very nice.
By the way, what markers/pens did you use? They sound really nice and I was wondering where I could get them (and if they were pricey?).

Ah, sorry for the late reply! Thank you!
The markers are called Pilot Frixon Colours, it's SGD$18 for 12 markers but I think you can get it on Amazon as well

Beautiful designs!!!

Thank you! Ah, I think they look nicer drawn, even I feel like I'm not able to make them as nicely as they are here
(The first jelly is my fav too!

I love them, they are beautiful designs, well drawn, and I could see myself wearing some of them. I have seen a lot of these designs done before, however a few really do stand out and i know that the final product would of course do your design justice.

Ah, I don't suppose you'd know where these designs have been done before-? And yes, I can only hope I do them justice

I can't really pinpoint exactly - shops, jewelry on etsy... not saying it's a bad thing at all though. I think it's important to be able to design both inside and outside the box, take styles that are already out there and make them your own so they're relevant but yours... and that I think you accomplished

So did I! They're still really pretty though. Even if they're not grief seeds.

I so love these sort of design sketch pages, especially from jewelry makers. When I took the first year jewelry class at my school, nothing gave me more joy than looking at my classmates sketchbooks, There is something so wonderful about these kinds of sketches. specifically.
Thank you so much for sharing your lovely work. <3

These are wonderful.
Honestly, from looking at the DDs, I thought this was Gems/Grief Seeds for Puella Magi Madoka Magica.
