I love the fact that is was drawn by hand. Beautiful job! (And coordination, I must say)

thank you very much for noticing. i have been drawing freehand since i was a kid and someone told me it was cheating to use a ruler. since then, my steadiness of hand has improved to a degree where even my imperfections are intentional. i could draw perfectly straight lines if i desired, but there is something intangible about imperfections...they make art somehow more human. i do thank you for the comment and the attention to detail.

How very interesting.
And, indeed, rulers are cheating.
Intentional imperfections are like the asymmetry of a face. It is the essence of nature.
But I digress.
Thank you for the art

The colours are perfect, like an odd backward sunset. I love how the hand-drawn lines play with the geometric shapes in the design <3

it's so... fancy, and classy-- reminds me of 1920s decoration on a postcard or something. and as usual for something so simple you have such pleasing shapes and color choices.
