Back to drawing prompts today!

Hi Friendly Folks!

I thought I would do a nice pattern today and try out the new colourful brushes that I got while up in northern Thailand.
Since I drew freehand, it isn't very symmetrical, but that makes it a little more intersting ;D

Here we go~

I used a standard light carbon lead for the initial design, mostly on a whim rather than for any particular reason. It felt 'right' this time round.

Next comes the trusty 005 felt tip :9 !
Time to trace some shapes~

I followed up with a slightly more buff 01.
Gives everything a little more wieght and impact, contrast wise.

It is now time for the Grande Finale, involving the colours!

I like that you drew this without ruler. The design is beautiful and the green and red colours are attractive. I can definitely see this one as a tattoo :).

A most wonderful compliment :D !! Thank you!
I'm really glad the colours worked out~

This looks great for freehand without any tools to keep it symmetrical. I have a tendency to draw things a little crooked! 🤣

Many thanks for the vote of confidence XD!

This is very cool, Sean ! The patterns and colours are amazing !!! :D

Thank you!
It wasn't what I expected at first but I'm really happy with the results :3 !!!

Oh wow! I know it's not that big of a drawing size-wise but I can only imagine how much time you put into the details of this. lol Great job!

Thank you !!!
The most frustrating and longest part was the pencil stage, but after that it became rather therapeutic to follow the lines XD

You're welcome! Sounds like how I feel with the sketch phase of my drawings. XD Sooo much erasing and editing. But linearting is easier since it's just tracing. But there's erasing there too to get the lines perfect.
