Some more of my drawings. I don't have a scanner at the moment so had to take a photo of them instead.

Critiques are very much welcomed :cute: I can see mistakes in each one of them lol...

Mashallah!
I love it all!
I wish I can draw like that!

Gracias squinty ^_^

beautiful once again mashallah

question...do you plan them or do you draw as you go

Thanks Footy :cute:

I think about the shape I want, then draw as I go :)

Excellent work.

Lovely! The last one is the best, kee it up! :)

That is amazing mashallah..
Loved the last two

Cool and funky!

wow amazing love them all!!!!!!!!

They're all fantastic. You should get a scanner, scan them and open up an account in Deviantart, I think you'd be a hit over there because you have a unique and distinctive style.

Oooh thats really pretty ..do you know how to do it with hena?

mashallah PIB, great work, u got a talent girl, keep up the hard work! :D

im not sure if the pic is playing with my eye, but are the bends in the center of the 2nd pic are the same? i feel they are different than each other :os

This is so interesting cause it's very unique.
I loved it, especially the first one. Brilliant work.

Yes.. I've never seen anything like it..

You really should take Nabhan's advice. Your designs would make beautiful henna prints.

You're very steady with your hand, very symmetrical and you have an eye for detail. I love them all! Really well done!

Mshallaah they're so pretty, i loved the 1st two:)

Perfecto.....

Lol yeah you're right...there's many tiny little mistakes like what you mentioned in the drawings

Thank you all for the comments!! :D

my mother makes bobbin lace...i'm gonna show her your pictures...i can just imagine a piece of lace done with your drawings as template! keep it up and well done.

^ Thanks Minerva :D lol that's cool!

ummm but what's bobbin lace?

Nice work, you should try using illustrator with a wacom tablet.

for pen it black:

bobbins are the small wooden sticks you can see on the picture below. they have cotton thread wound around them and are moved according to the pattern attached to the pillow. the lace worker designs the picture and sticks it on the pillow, then moves pins around and weaves the thread to make her design. the finished product is used in clothes, head scarves, fans, handkerchiefs, cushions, doilies and decorative items.

here are some 'results' of bobbin lace.

this is typical Maltese design..

something like this would take about a whole month to create.

and something like this would take about a whole year of working every single day...

The intricate little details amuse me and have me staring at these designs hehe!

How long does it take you to complete one of these drawings/designs on average from start to finish?

Aww!! A fanclub? For lil ol' me? :shy:

Thanks Princey :p Hmmm it takes me about an hour to two hours to finish one...depending on the detail and when I finally feel the design isn't "naked" or missing something anymore
