About this design

What the design shows

Two large upright ears frame a front-facing corgi head, with short curved marks inside each ear and a rounded outline around the cheeks. The eyes sit evenly on either side of a dark oval nose; short whisker dots lead down to an open, smiling mouth with a small tongue showing. Light strokes around the forehead and cheeks suggest the coat without filling the face with grey. The black linework keeps the features easy to separate, and the tapered lower outline ends beneath the chin. The Clean image shows only the head on open white space. In the On-skin preview, it sits upright at the center of the inner wrist, so the ear tips align vertically and the smiling muzzle faces forward. There is no collar, color, scenery or extra decoration in the drawing.

Placement

Placement and size

On the inner-wrist preview, the corgi face sits vertically with the ear tips toward the palm and the chin toward the forearm. This orientation uses the narrow space above the wrist crease and keeps both ears inside the portrait. A section of forearm or the outer calf can offer a wider area if you want more room around the ears and cheek marks. The eyes, nose and short muzzle strokes are small focal details; discuss their separation with an artist when adapting the design. Placement and scale can change how closely the face follows the curve of the arm.

Patchwork

Building it into a patchwork

Two tall ears make this rounded face a strong upright shape in a patchwork layout. It can act as a friendly focal point among compact dog-related pieces, while smaller paw prints, stars or simple line symbols can fill nearby gaps. Keep open space above both ear tips and beneath the chin so the head silhouette stays distinct from adjacent shapes. Its balanced front view pairs naturally with side-facing portraits when you want different directions in one cluster. A few fine-line neighbors will echo the light cheek strokes without competing with the dark eyes and nose.
