Swallowtail Butterfly

Design notes

Check both hindwing tails when comparing smaller versions.

What to check on a paper proof

Look at both tail tips after reducing the wingspan. A tail that runs into an adjacent marking can look like a thick corner. Make a second proof with more space around the tail edges and compare it at the same width before simplifying the rest of the wing pattern.
