fabulous negative space. I wish I could pull it off as effectively as you have here.

I'd love to have a small print to hang on my art studio's walls...

Appreciated! Unfortunately I'm not really equipped or experienced with manufacturing prints, but you can download a large version, so feel free to download and print the picture however you like in order to enjoy it.

Besides tracing the pattern from a light table...

Meditation.

There's really no other way to do it, nor any other reason to do it. The reason I draw patterns by hand instead of using a computer is so I can quiet my mind and just experience the action of drawing.

Took about three hours to do the whole thing. Meditative tracing is kind of the only way to get through big areas of pattern without going nuts or getting bored.

I wish I had a light table instead of a cabinet, lamp and glass door...

I don't get how someone could meditate while drawing.
Then again, I can't meditate period.
