Step by step: how to draw Easy Rangoli 5-5 With Colours
- Mark the 5-to-5 dot grid — five rows of five dots.
- In the centre draw a flower of four pointed petals around a round centre, one petal pointing to each side.
- From the flower draw four long curved stems that sweep outwards and bend the same way, so the four arms turn like a pinwheel.
- At the bend of each stem draw a pair of pointed leaves, one on each side, and end each stem with a single pointed oval leaf — three leaves on every arm.
- Fill the petals red and the centre blue, then draw a white midrib and a dot on each petal.
- Fill the leaves green with a white vein down each, and re-trace the stems in white.
