Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Create Diamond Frame with a Pencil

Begin by using a pencil to draw diamond-shaped frames across your page. Keep the diamonds evenly spaced to create a consistent argyle pattern. The pencil outline makes it easier to adjust and ensures the design remains symmetrical.

Step 2: Fill in the Diamonds with CG030, WG4, and Black 120

Alternate between CG030, WG4, and Black 120 to fill in the diamond shapes. This alternating color pattern increases contrast and enhances the bold look of the argyle design. The gray tones give a classic feel, while the black adds depth and sharpness.

Step 3: Add Dashed Lines with White Acrylic Pen

Create dashed lines in the center of each diamond using a white acrylic pen. These lines add a decorative element and enhance the 3D effect of the pattern. They also help break up the solid colors, adding visual interest.

Final Step: Your Argyle Pattern is Done!

Your page now features a sharp and dynamic argyle pattern with a timeless, geometric style that adds a bold and polished vibe to your coloring project. This technique is perfect for creating festive and classic designs and pairs beautifully with the structured patterns in the Southern Lotus Coloring Book.
