Sketched out this horse design to get that editorial illustration feel, not a photographic style, its more like a lil bit sketchy and graphic, with the mane and tail using long directional stitches that actually follow the flow of the hair. professional tools took the directional fill sequencing so the grey shading layers build up naturally. Only 4 colours total, grey, a darker grey, black and white. Stitch count goes from 23,267 on the 3.02-inch size up to 51,145 on the 6.45-inch, density runs 1,056.

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.
