Tiny details.
This tile is a result of Eni Oken’s Tiny Details Lesson . This excellent video shows you exactly how to create and shade areas of a tile which include little, tiny detail drawings which can be a major challenge to shade!
I love tiny drawing and repetitive patterns that are very close to each other. There is just something really soothing and satisfying about filling predefined areas with tangles like these, making this tile lots of fun to create.
Following Eni’s instructions for shading worked really well. But I realized that I still needed more contrast for the ribbons on the Aquafleur shapes, so I added the pink coloring. I’m really happy that I did!
