- Mention placement (forearm, rib, sternum) so the traditional composition fits the body area.
- Add size notes like “small wrist piece” or “full sleeve panel” for better proportions.
- Include color guidance — black & grey only, limited palette, or full color.
- Upload a rough sketch when you already have a shape in mind, then refine with text.
