Heres the couple face heart line art design, all stitched in a single black thread on white. Two faces lean in nose to nose, eyes closed, basically a heartbeat away from kissing. Their hair streams out behind them in long curling lines, and the strands sweep down underneath the chins to centre into a clean heart shape between their necks.
The cheek shading is the bit that makes this design sing, lots of short directional run lines hatched together to give the cheekbones grey weight without switching colours. Eyelashes get a soft satin column. Lips sit as a thin filled wedge.
I drew this back in march for a customer in melbourne who was customising matching anniversary tees for her partner. She asked for something modern, no roses, no cliche valentine stuff. The continuous line approach felt right, kinda like a tattoo flash sheet. She sent me a photo of the finished pair last week and they look proper romantic on charcoal grey shirts.
Pop this one on white linen, oat coloured cotton, soft grey jersey or cream canvas. The contrast of black thread on a pale neutral lets the linework breathe. Avoid black and navy fabrics, the design loses everything because its a single dark colour and theres no highlight to lift it.
Density is on the higher side for a line drawing because of all the cheek hatching, the favourite stabiliser here is a no-show mesh cutaway, it stays put while you finish the dense bits. Hoop it tight and lay a layer of water-soluble topping if your fabric has any nap. Send a quick photo if your machine skips and I'll talk ya through what to adjust.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
