This was something I did in my sketchbook awhile before we started this project. Looking back at it, I think I could change it to make an interesting piece. My plan is to redo it in paint, make the “thorns” less thorn-like to try to make the shape more fluid, and use a dark or cold color for the background to give it a lot of contrast. I like contrast. I did this sketch the same way I always use color: do it all in pencil (my element) and add in color when I’m done. I’m going to try using paint for this specifically to avoid my habits and force myself to use more color. My problem is I haven’t done much work with paint…or color…so I’m not sure how well it will turn out. Any advice would be great.

I think you should leave the sharp edges; it creates visual contrast and is somehow pleasing to the eye.
I think that it'd be wise to redraw this and paint it; it's a great emblem and it'd give you some experience using paint (and color).
I'm all for you using a dark blue to contrast/compliment the yellow symbol; using black would make the intricate design seem overbearing.
If I wasn't afraid of needles, it'd make a great tattoo.
Great design so far. :)
make it bolder!
make it brighter!
paint, paint, paint!
I love you, anonymous.
No, really...all jokes aside...follow my advice.
That settles it then. Leave thorns the same, more brown/black faded into on the outline, and probably dark blue background. Thanks guys
I like the simplicity of the design, it has so much potential, and can change and be viewed from different angles.
Take the advise of the others, it needs color and contrast (value).
Understand the need for more values, but could you elaborate on potential/different angles?
