Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Create the Base Layer

Start by using Y010 to fill the entire background. This will provide a warm, vintage look to complement your flower design.

Step 2: Draw the Flowers

Using a pencil, lightly draw a grid to help evenly space your flowers. Then, take the Y1 marker and carefully draw the flower petals along the grid. Keeping the flowers evenly spaced will create a neatly arranged pattern.

Step 3: Add the Flower Pistils

Use BR2 to dot the center of each flower, giving them a realistic and retro-inspired pistil. This will add dimension and contrast to your design.

Step 4: Draw the Leaves

Now, take GY3 and carefully draw the leaves. Place the leaves exactly on the pencil lines and between the flowers to maintain a structured, seamless pattern.
