Step-by-Step Guide

 

Step 1: Draw the Plaid Pattern with R3

Start by drawing a plaid pattern across the bow using R3, a classic red shade. Create crisscrossing lines to form squares and rectangles, giving the bow a traditional plaid look.

Step 1 - Draw the Plaid Pattern

 

Step 2: Add Parallel Lines with R230 Fine-Tip

Use R230 fine-tip to draw additional parallel lines to the plaid pattern. For a neat and consistent pattern, choose one side of each plaid square to add the parallel lines. In this tutorial, the right side of each square is highlighted, giving the bow a structured and polished appearance.

Step 2 - Add Parallel Lines

 

Step 3: Enhance the Pattern with G2

Continue adding more lines to the plaid design with G2, a green shade. The green lines add a festive touch, making the plaid bow perfect for holiday decorations. Focus on balancing the red and green lines to keep the pattern cohesive and vibrant.
