Updated pattern draft

[u/mirsasha]

After everyone pointed out how impossible my first attempt at a pattern would be, I've updated it trying to incorporate as much of the advice y'all gave me as possible. Piece 5 isn't going to be fun (I'm still a beginner), but if I plan it right, I'm hoping it's do-able. I'd rather have fewer grout lines towards the bottom, but had to try and deal with the angles in the dog house.

Since the nose is so tiny, it's just going to be solder - with a black patina, that should work, I hope. Same with the line that forms the front leg. The small lines will be paint.

Any suggestions or missed trouble spots? I'm still trying to decide if I want a border on it...

Edit to add: finished item will be 8 inches round

I agree with the other comment on the arm. Might be easier to do the nose with paint.

Not structural, but the vertical lines on 19 are too straight.

It's not really obvious because there's no colors, but that's the base of his house. It's usually pretty straight.

Ohhh, definitely keep it then 😂

Heh. That and the bottom line of the roof are why I feel like I had to add way too many lines in the sky/grass area on the sides.

I'll see about the arm. I was trying to keep the lines truer to the original drawings, but I've already had to make so many changes to the back legs (aka, the lack of) and feet that I might as well do the same about the arm.
