These are some sketches inspired by an initial idea I had for a tattoo.
Both me and my friend liked the idea of some delicate swords with flowers or vines around them.
This isn't super finished yet as I'm still experimenting with the way the vines or flowers navigate themselves around the sword, I don't want it to look too crowded but I also really want the flowers or vines to be quite noticeable!
I think I would make the sword look a bit sharper and slimmer, to make it look a bit more refined. Although, I do like how naive it currently looks. (Not sure if that makes sense).
I'm going to try this in pen or biro and in black and white (with some hints of colours).
Thank you for stopping by!
