Step by step: how to draw Latest Colours Muggulu
- Mark the dot grid and outline a six-pointed star across its centre.
- In the centre of the star draw a small dot and swirl six curved hook-shaped blades around it to make a pinwheel.
- Draw a larger six-pointed star around the first and give its outer edge a scalloped border.
- Between the star points draw six motifs — each a star-shaped flower with pointed leaves joined to a bunch of three oval berries.
- Add a short double-line stem and a small dark leaf to each flower.
- Colour the pinwheel blades in turn blue, red and purple, the outer star magenta, the flowers light green and each bunch of berries blue, red or purple.
