From the positive feedback on social media, we are doing another progressive drawing for this week's Workshop Wednesday.
Remember, every Wednesday, we will post a tutorial of some type with henna. if you let us know what type of stuff you want to learn, we can create a tutorial about it. Let us know by leaving a comment below.
Anyway... This time, the progressive drawing is of an Arabic inspired motif. This motif is drawn in a feminine, intricate design. However, by make a few changes, this design can transform! You can adjust a few things with your application technique, and this motif can go from feminine to masculine; from lacy and intricate to bold and distinctive.
For starters, here is a side by side photo tutorial of all the images. Below, you will find in detail how the design can be altered to give it a masculine, feminine, lacy, and bold look.
Here is a step by step tutorial:
Start with a swirl and a curl.
Add a shape to make a funky three hump heart.
MAKE IT MASCULINE: make the humps of the heart wide and short.
MAKE IT FEMININE: make the humps of the heart long and narrow.
Add a paisley like shape
MAKE IT MASCULINE: less curve
MAKE IT FEMININE: more curve
Do some shading in.
MAKE IT BOLD: color the whole shape in
MAKE IT INTRICATE: shade lightly with small distinct lines
Add a floral motif.
MAKE IT MASCULINE: make the petals of the flower very square like instead with rounded edges.
MAKE IT FEMININE: make your flower petals very rounded
Add some floral and wispy elements.
MAKE IT MASCULINE: skip the wispy elements
MAKE IT FEMININE: more wispy, more feminine
Add a connecting element
MAKE IT MASCULINE: make this element colored in instead of with scallops MAKE IT FEMININE: make this element with lots of curves
Adding more details to make the design bigger.
MAKE IT MASCULINE: less curves, bigger dots
MAKE IT FEMININE: more dots, curves, and shading
Again, add a motif to make the design bigger.
MAKE IT MASCULINE: make the motif geometric
MAKE IT FEMININE: make the motif very floral by adding lots of curvy petals
