 So, you have beautiful designs and you wish they would actually conform to the surface they're drawn on. Not a problem. Click the brush you want to use, then under brush, modifiers, increase projection strength, you're done. Another way to do this is just to press B, M, and use the matchmaker brush, turn symmetry off, and make everything that's not related invisible. Then just left click until the wave encompasses the whole object. Some caveats you should know about to hire the poly the better this works, and this really only works on flat objects, and is completely dependent on the camera angle. To try and project from the front view if you can. Anyway, I hope that helps and as always I hope you have a fantastic day and I'll see you around.
