Hi there! I started this course just as a way to get acquainted with my pilot pen. I’m not really a pattern person (you’re gonna see in my pictures) and I’ve never thought of designing a tattoo for myself. But while doing the sheets the pattern had just happened by itself and I am really surprised with the end result. Surprised and proud of my abilities, thanks, Alice!

by the way, I worked on a normal A4 paper, because I wanted to practice as much as I could and only did a few thicker paper sheets

Then practice, you can tell that there were better and worse days with this, but the progress is noticeable!

And then the pattern just sort of happened so here are some of it in progress Helpful and fun - image 11 - student project Helpful and fun - image 12 - student project Helpful and fun - image 13 - student project

And the winner is…

But I messed it up a little so I took to Procreate instead of redrawing and cleaned it

I really really like it, I think the end result came out looking pretty cool, what do you think?

Thanks again for a great course, I am going to “Strong lines 2” now :)
