DIY Arrow Art

I have been loving the arrow design fashion, recently, and thought that I  a frame, it would be a perfect fit for my desk. Follow the step by step guide below, to achieve the same piece that I made. Feel free to make any changes to it and tell me all about it in the comments below. I really hope that you like this and enjoy making.

Utensils

 

 
What You will Need:

• Photo Frame
• Rubber
• Ruler
• Black fine liner/ felt tip pen
• Pencil
• Colour pencils (Optional)

 

Step 1: Divide your A4 piece of pare up, to signify the separate areas. If you can do it mentally, no.1 your a genius and no. 2 there is a 2cm gap at the bottom, at the top a 3.5cm gap. In the space between each section is 3cm tall for the feathers. At the sides there is a 3.5cm gap. But I'm imagining for the vast majority here is a template I made

 Step 2: In pencil start drawing the arrows in pencil lightly, so that you can rub the lines out later. If you are going for an even look make sure all of the arrows are the same length.

Step 3: Now that all of the arrows are drawn, go over them all with a fineliner and fill in large gaps like a colouring pencils if you want a black and white piece. But if you want to colour yours in later leave the gaps empty.

 Step 4: Rub out all of the pencil on the page, including the guidelines.

 Step 5: Now that the pencil is gone and the arrows are complete, feel free to colour them in if you wish now. If not it is time to choose a quote to put at the top of the page. The quote you choose can be a meaningful one, movie, personal or one you've made up yourself. I decided to go with one from Cinderella, the Disney film. It is 'Have courage and be kind'.

Step 6: In whatever font you like write the quote in the space at the top in pencil, once again lightly.

Step 7: If you are happy with how it looks now go over it with any fine liner you like.

Step 8: Now that is complete to make it a little more polished and to add some colour to the page, outline the writing with a coloured pencil of your choice.

I take no credit in this idea, I haven't seen this done exactly like this before. I used inspiration from the internet and changed them all to how I liked it.
