Step by step: how to draw Creative Rangoli Designs 21 To 11 Dots

1. Mark a hexagonal field of interlaced dots.
2. In the centre draw a six-pointed star flower around a small circle and colour it dark green.
3. Enclose the flower in a larger six-pointed star and colour it red.
4. Around the red star draw a broad lattice band that runs out into six arms, each ending in a hooked crossbar, and colour the band blue.
5. Fill every cell of the blue lattice with a small green diamond.
6. In each of the six gaps between the arms draw a diamond inside a diamond and colour the pair in two contrasting shades — outer diamonds magenta, red, orange, maroon, crimson and magenta, inner diamonds blue, purple, maroon, orange, yellow and light blue.
7. Beside each diamond add a small fan of diamond petals in the colour of its inner diamond.
8. Outline every shape in white.
