CONTENTLine drawings and sketches
Ornamental Studies II is Jack Peppiette's second collection of ornamental line drawings and sketches, and it runs to 203 pages. This time the material is organized by category, so you can go straight to bands, patterns, mandalas, flowers, arches and other motifs instead of paging through the whole book.
Peppiette's work is known for fine detail and for designs that are built around the body rather than drawn flat and fitted afterwards. The pages show how he constructs repeating patterns, balances dense blackwork with open space and turns geometry and floral forms such as chrysanthemums into wearable ornament.
A practical tattoo design book for anyone working in blackwork, dotwork or ornamental styles, and a clear study in pattern construction for designers in other fields. The compact hardback holds up to daily use at the drawing table.
