Reverse negative space- This is also called as cut work mehndi style. Instead of filling inside the design,mehndi is filled outside the design. Lotus and frill flowers are commonly used in this method. Shading should not be used inside the design. The design should be bold. For filling outside the design, give thick  outline on the design first and then start filling mehndi. This prevents design corners going blunt or smudged.

Birds and cages- Birds like parrot,sparrows are drawn and a bird cage is placed near it. If you are a beginner, then draw outline first and then fill it rather than directly pressing cone and creating design. You won't get sharp edges if you press and release directly. A bird should have sharp beak, feather etc .to give good look.
