Today after dinner I decided to hand-paint the design on that 'flap' thingy. So first of I needed to have a reference picture of Ichito at hand and I also happen to know what those designs actually are supposed to be -
higanbana - aka spiderlily.

| Lycoris Radiata |

| Ichito reference |
So knowing what I'm actually trying to paint is a little bonus. But I drew mostly according to the character reference and some artistic freedom.. because it would have peen a major pain in the ass to draw every damn flower and line
exactly the same.
I did iron the fabric prior to painting so it was wrinkle-free. So yeah, here is today's progress photos and please excuse the crappy lighting again, the colors get a bit fucked up.

| Sketched some "base flowers" on the fabric. |
 |
| Started painting... |
 |
| Painted some more... |
 |
| Started doing the lines... |
 |
| More lines. Half of it done pretty much. |
 |
| Other half done and started painting the bottom "rings"... |
 |
| Finished! |
I didn't count the time but I think it took me around 4-5 hours to finish. Urgh. I'm sick of drawing lines now. XD Now I just need to sew together the front and back piece at the sides and fix the edges and probably add a lining to the front's backside.
Ah... now I've earned myself some chips and a bottle of påskmust. lol
