Coloring symmetrical tile patterns is a fun and creative way to bring decorative designs to life.

In today’s tutorial, we’ll be using a beautiful symmetrical tile page from the Girl Spaces, a Southern Lotus Coloring Book. This step-by-step guide will help you achieve a stunning pattern with smooth marker blending and highlights. Let’s get started!

Materials You’ll Need:

Step-by-Step Guide to Coloring Symmetrical Tiles

Step 1: Draw Flower Petal Patterns

Using B340, start by drawing flower petal patterns in each tile cell. Keep the petals symmetrical and evenly spaced to maintain a uniform pattern. Take your time to ensure clean, crisp lines.

Step 2: Mark the Center and Add Dash Lines

With B140, mark the center of each tile pattern by placing a small dot. Then, use the same color to draw dash lines extending outward, creating a geometric and symmetrical look.

Step 3: Repeat for All Remaining Cells

Follow the same steps for each tile in the pattern. Consistency is key to achieving a polished and professional look.

Step 4: Add Highlights for Depth

Take your white gel pen and carefully add small highlights to the flower petals and lines. This technique will make the pattern pop, giving it a more dynamic and dimensional appearance.

Final Result: Your Symmetrical Tiles Background is Done!

With patience and attention to detail, you’ve now completed a stunning symmetrical tile pattern. This method is perfect for adding decorative flair to your coloring pages, creating a visually appealing design.
