About My Design Sketchbook
Before I open my henna cone, I always like to draw the concept on paper. This helps us decide on details like the specific pose for a couple portrait or the flow of an Arabic floral vine, so there are no surprises on your big day.
When you hire me, we start here in my sketchbook. I believe that your mehndi should tell your story, whether it is a Karwa Chauth scene with traditional diyas or a modern Dubai floral arrangement. Sketching allows us to experiment with different placements and densities without wasting your time during the actual application.
If you have a specific idea in mind, bring it to me. I can take a rough concept and refine it into a detailed motif. This works exceptionally well for:
- Custom Portraits: We can sketch out your couple figures to match your specific wedding attire or poses.
- Thematic Designs: Planning a festival event? I can draw custom elements for Diwali, Eid, or Navratri to ensure your design matches the mood.
- Density Adjustments: If you want a specific floral bunch to be thicker or need the vine to flow in a certain direction, we can adjust the sketch before I start applying the henna.
Using my sketchbook also helps us manage expectations regarding time. Complex bridal motifs or detailed portraits require more application time, and seeing the sketch helps you understand the intricacy involved. My goal is to ensure you feel confident and excited about the design before the first line is drawn.
Taslim
I have been living and breathing mehndi since 2004. I love drawing out your stories before I ever touch a cone, making sure every line feels just right for you.
