SIMPLE IS BEST
One of my favourites, symmetry group cmm.
I have been drawing lifelike tilings since about 1984. Although the examples here were all drawn using Freeehand the actual design, I find, is best done on tracing paper with a pencil.

Who else was doing lifelike tilings? I placed this add to find out but got no substantial repies. In fact I only able to other people doing them once the internet got started. This led to the following web site:
PEOPLE DOING LIFELIKE TESSELLATIONS
I started this site in 1997 in an effort to find everyone in the world who shared this interest. I last updated it in 2009 when 54 people had come forward, which may be everyone in the world except for is one Frenchman, Raoul Raba, who declined to appear in my list. He has done a great kangaroo tiling.
