Cells

Today in class I used my textbook micro-organism images to whip up a cool pattern:
At first I wasn't exactly sure what to do with these cells, but I had spent so much time drawing each dot in exactly the right place with the pencil tool (I hate calculated computer patterns) because I knew it was important to keep every aspect of my mandala as organic as possible, if that is possible in Illustrator.
I figured out how to create new swatches and in doing so I was able to apply the dot pattern to the fill of any shape!
