Step by step: how to draw Aishwarya Kolam Different Types

1. Mark the 9-to-1 dot grid — rows narrowing from nine dots in the middle to one at each end.
2. In the centre draw an eight-point star of overlapping pointed petals — four reaching up, down, left and right and four on the diagonals.
3. Inside the star draw a small flower of eight rounded loop petals.
4. Sweep curved lines out from the star to a point on each of the four sides, and cap each point with a small tulip-shaped bud flanked by curled sprigs tipped with dots.
5. On each of the four corners draw a flower of rounded petals around a dotted centre, flanked by spiral curls.
6. Between the star petals and the corner flowers add short lines tipped with dots.
7. Shade the corner flower petals and thicken all outlines.
