So i've started testing a few different tartan effects, and thankfully my brush control is getting smoother, however I cannot decided on a general pattern that I like.
Below is two designs I have attempted that I would like some feedback on.

Spoiler:


At the moment it's the patterns themselves I require help with rather than my painting ability as these are just a few test miniatures to get my hands used to holding brushes again


Many thanks

thankyou, just need to tighten my brush control a little more, and hopefully i can get much crisper lines.

I refrenced this video quiet a bit as i found the colouring really simple for a nice pattern

I love that effect, but I think at my current level its a little out of my reach, however I've book marked that for future use as it kicks my effect outa the park
