Hi! My name is Oksana. I am an artist, textile designer, and a creative soul. I help entrepreneurs envision and design beautiful products that will wow and connect with their customers. I am also passionate about sharing my experience of running a textile design business with fellow creatives.

Up to this point, I created more than 5000 vector repeat patterns and worked on more than 65 freelance surface pattern design projects. In this video, I talk about 

If you are planning a day trip to San Francisco or another awesome place on Earth and are wondering what art tools to take with you for sketching on the go, this video is for you :)

I am talking about:

My inspiration walk around San Francisco Chinatown and the surrounding area.

My simple sketchbook setup for day trips, traveling and sketching repeat patterns on the go.

Here is what I took with me:

❤ HB pencil with eraser

❤ Artist`s Journal Sketch Book A6 - by Winsor & Newton: https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/5ia/Artist-s-Journal-Sketch-Book-A6-Winsor-Newton/B001O5LYQ4

❤ Watercolor pencils set by Windsor and newton. Can't find exact link. Here is a similar set (don't have this one): http://amzn.to/2p4Vzrp

❤ Pentel Arts Aquash Water Brush (love this one for traveling!) http://amzn.to/2p4LcnJ

*Buy clicking on these links and in case you purchase the products, I might get a small compensation. This helps support my channel! Thank you very much! :)


I show the sketch and the coloring process during my trip and after I came back home. I was drawing all through the day on the streets of San Francisco and on a Bart train :) It was fun for a digital, vector textile designer to try something different.

Hope this short video was helpful for you to get you started putting together your own travel sketchbook kit for your pattern design ideas on the go while traveling.
