Step by step: how to draw Basic Chinna Muggulu Kolangal 6x2x2dots Chitti

1. Mark the 6-to-2 dot grid.
2. Draw a large circle round the grid.
3. On the circle at the top, bottom, left and right draw a four-petal flower — each petal a double loop with a short dot-tipped line inside, round a small ring centre.
4. From each flower curl a tendril into the circle and finish it in a spiral so the four spirals swirl round the middle.
5. In the centre draw a small flower of rounded petals round a dot.
6. On each diagonal of the circle draw a spray of three pointed leaves with dots down the middle.
7. Outside the circle add curling tendrils ending in spirals — two beside each leaf spray, eight in all.
