If you’re signed up to the Sketch Design Repeat mailing list, you’ll receive their monthly ‘Porfolio Power Ups’.
These are prompts and mood boards for new surface pattern design inspiration, to update your portfolio.

I find having a brief to work to really helps me focus on creating new artwork. I also regularly do the Spoonflower Design Challenge for the same reason, and I follow lots of drawing prompt challenges over on Instagram too. This is another blog post from the challenges that I entered in the Summer of 2021.

For the months of January and February I created new designs for the Portfolio prompts ‘Celestial’ and ‘Funny Valentine’.

One of my designs ‘Sweet On You’ even got featured on the Sketch Design Repeat blog in a round up of the best designs submitted.
