Step by step: how to draw Daily Rangoli With Dots 6 to 6
- Mark the 6-to-6 dot grid.
- Draw four six-spoke asterisks in a two-by-two block — a horizontal, a vertical and a diagonal line each — slanting the diagonals so together they form a large diamond.
- Box each asterisk into a square block, and in the centre draw a four-petal flower with long pointed petals pointing up, down, left and right, a dot in each.
- On the four points of the diamond — top, bottom, left and right — draw a rounded petal filled with a criss-cross lattice.
- Where the lines cross in each block draw a two-loop bow, and beside the bows in the top two blocks add fans of short curved strokes.
- Flank each lattice petal with two spiral curls — eight in all.
