Placement Tips
Full sleeve (shoulder to wrist), half sleeve (shoulder to elbow or elbow to wrist). Starting with a clear theme gives much better long-term cohesion.
Artist Note
"When starting a sleeve, choose a theme first: Japanese, botanical, blackwork, etc. Randomly collected pieces look inconsistent in the long run." — Elias Thorne
