Classic shield outline

Draw a classic shield outline. Add subtle Celtic knotwork woven into the border (thin, looping lines). Inside the shield, sketch a lion standing on hind legs, facing left or right. One paw rests firmly on an open book (symbol of smarts + wisdom). Tree of Life Place the tree directly behind the lion. Branches reach outward and upward, filling the top half of the shield. Roots extend downward and form a circular Celtic knot at the bottom, enclosing the lion’s stance. Banner: Across the very bottom of the shield, draw a ribbon/banner. Bold serif letters inside: “WALLACE”. Style Notes: Use bold black outlines with shading (crosshatching or stippling). Keep details sharp but not overcrowded—tattoos lose clarity if too detailed. Consider symmetry: lion and tree should feel balanced within the shield. Flowers coming out from behind the shield surrounding it.
