Pattern 4 - Turtle Shell

Scanned at resolution 200 pixels/inch so the file you download is larger than the original. Size of the original pattern - 5.9 x 5.9 cm (2.3 x 2.3 inches).

STEALING IS A SIN. If you like the pattern and plan on using it, please give credit properly. Also feel free to note me, I'm curious what your final art looks like.

First I drew the guidelines with pencil and ruler, then the pattern using a black ballpoint pen. PLEASE BE AWARE that I drew this by free hand and I didn't post-process it in any way, so there can be found little irregularities, like double lines or smudges.


This is a miniseries showing my fascination by geometry. I decided to post a single pattern instead of a repetitious grid. This is the very first one I drew, many months ago. I was thinking, if I were to draw a mosaic turtle, what would its shell look like? And here is what I came up with. I like this pattern the most.
