Digital pinstripes

[Pixels Are Bad Mmmkay?]

I recently got some beginner's lessons on how to pinstripe a couple weeks ago. Although I've been practicing, I'm not ready to post anything for quite some time. Once I get more time under my belt, I will try hand lettering and maybe even utilize my new skills to make a few signs. In the meantime, I decided to design a pinstripe design in Corel Draw and thought I would share. This was a lot of fun. Any thoughts?

looks great, kind of looks like a bird in flight.

Very nice! Would look great on the front of an old time refrigerator.

That looks awesome! What tools did you use for the most part?

Thanks, Pat. I used a combination of the polyline and the b-spline tools and then converted my lines/curves to artistic media lines and then converted those to curves. After that, some of the thick ends that I converted into diamond shapes were modified by adjusting the nodes by hand. Then i used an inline contour to create the lighter colored centers on a lot of them, some I just did by hand.

I think it kinda looks like a frontal view of a mythological dragon's head.

I think it looks like an organ. (the musical instrument)

That was my first thought.... an old fashioned pipe organ.

What's better than flowers on your piano ??

Tulips on your organ...... drummmmmmm roll, please.​
