Choose the shape of your butterfly
Open wings create a balanced silhouette. A butterfly in profile feels lighter and more directional. Start with the outline before choosing the markings inside the wings.
Give the design a personal detail
A tiny branch, an asymmetric wing pattern or a flower can make the composition feel closer to your own story. You can also keep it simple and let the butterfly stand alone.
Think about the whole composition
Compare a compact wrist concept with a more open upper-arm design. Ask your artist to adapt the proportions to the placement and to create an original drawing from your references.
