Proposal drawing for Brocade fabric in coloured pencil on a4 page.

​

The name brocade has the same root as the word "broccoli", comes from Italian broccato meaning "embossed cloth", originally from the verb broccare "to stud, set with nails", from brocco, "small nail", from Latin broccus, (links to brooch) "projecting, pointed."
