Louise Tiler is an English freelance surface pattern designer, creating designs for a variety of different products such as greetings cards, wallpaper, wall art, tableware, eramis, soft furnishings and fabrics. She has even gone to open up her own online business in 2014 of which she produces and sells her own range of stationery products and greetings cards. Each one of Tiler's designs have been intricately hand drawn and hand -painted and then combines these traditional hand drawn techniques with digital processes to create her vintage inspired designs. Tiler’s designs have been inspired by English historical textiles and wallpaper designs, vintage patterns and floral paintings as well as being inspired by the use of either colour or layout in contemporary designs. All of her drawings that have been incorporated within have been generated from photographs of natural elements like animals and various types of flowers as well as some elements from historical textile design.
I love her use of lines within her works, she uses quite illustrative techniques like varying the density of her lines to create the effect of shadows and using hatching lines to create the effect of texture and it helps to make her drawings look realistic. I want to incorporate Tiler's use of illustrative techniques within my final piece to make elements look more realistic. I love her use of layering elements, she has more of her patterned elements in the background, then incorporates her hand drawn illustrations in the second layer and then builds on top with the painted elements. I also want to layer elements like putting down a wash of colour and then printing on top to create depth within my piece.
