Content Notes: I painted the larger animals on a square piece of watercolour paper first, using a brush pen. I lfet off the colouring because I wanted to figure out the process first.
Instead of cutting up the paper (I wanted the option of a do-over), I copied this drawing onto cheap paper and cut that up instead. As it turns out, my cutting skills with a scissor aren't so good because in the scan of the reassembled, taped parts I saw that the edges weren't quite straight. [And here I added the smaller animals in the blank spaces). Plus, I had to do a LOT of digital cleanup once I had copy-pasted and tiled the square. Overall, I have to say that I am really glad I now know how to make a pattern like this! I think it would make for an excellent gift printed on a cotton bag or a mug.
A big thank you goes tomific's detailed process post because it inspired me to try this.
