Loving Bird- Coloring book challenge

Here's my entry for the coloring book challenge- Thank you Bonnie for the challenge!

I live in Maine and I'd like to create a line inspired by sea life-  I like to keep my palette limited, and have a hand-made feeling (shapes are scanned in, not traced).  Here's a moodboard and my sketches...

I hope to be able to create a coherent line!  Here's my first try at creating a repeating pattern.

Thanks for sharing all this useful info, Bonnie Christine!
