For this project, I wanted to try making something inspired by Japanese print. Such as the image shows below.

I played with the idea of two directional patterns. Where there is a dynamic flow in one direction and a sharp streak in another. This can be seen in the cool green curvy background with the bright orange streaks in the opposite direction. One thing I would work on if I were to continue this project, if is the fine detail accuracy of each stroke to one another (making sure that they are are flush with one another).
