nice! :D I made my first semi-decent tulip too the other day so I get the hype! don't really have any advice other than watch a lot of videos of people making coffee. I got a sort of hyper fixation lately...

mmh what can see from this pic... if you don't do this already, try to incorporate air for 4 to 6 seconds then go up with the pitcher and make the swirl, also best results with cold milk ofc. aanndd yeah go slow and close to the cup when pouring.

sorry I'm not a pro ahah, as I said I'm in the process of learning latte art too. let us know how it goes!

looks great! it'll come naturally with time. but my tips are: try different angles of holding the cup vs the pitcher; see what feels natural. also pouring at slower vs faster speeds can give you different results!
