Steps
Choose a Theme:
Pick something fun and exciting to talk about! What theme would you like to explore today? Pick a fun theme for your pattern! You can draw shapes like squares, circles, and triangles. Or maybe draw pretty flowers, colourful leaves, cute animals, or even make your own cool designs. Just draw whatever makes you feel happy and excited!
Start with Basic Shapes
Let’s start with some super-duper easy shapes! First, draw some simple shapes that go with your cool theme. Like, you can use shapes like circles, triangles, squares, or rectangles to make a super cool pattern!
Create Repetition
Make the shape you drew over and over again in a special way to make a cool pattern. You can put them next to each other, make them go on top of each other, spin them around, or make a cool pattern with shapes. Make sure the shapes are all spread out nicely so they look super duper good together!
Add Variation
Let’s make the shapes more fun by changing them up a little bit! You can change how big, which way they’re facing, or how they’re tilted! This will make the pattern look super cool and exciting!
Connect Shapes
Let’s play with connecting the shapes to make our pattern flowy and fun! You can use lines, curves, or other little shapes to connect the big shapes together.
Fill Negative Space
Let’s play with the empty spaces between shapes! They’re like secret puzzle pieces in our pattern. You can put little things or fun shapes in these spaces to make the design even better!
Experiment with Color
Let’s play with colours! Pick some pretty colours that go well with your pattern’s theme. Yay! Let’s make our shapes super colourful! Grab your coloured pencils, markers, or any other cool colouring tools you have. It’s time to add some awesome colours to your shapes! Have fun!
Add Texture (Optional)
Let’s make your pattern more fun by adding textures! You can try different textures to make it look more interesting. Like, if you’re drawing leaves, you can totally add lines that look like veins on them!
Inking (Optional)
If you want to make your picture more clear, you can use a pen to go over the pencil lines. This can make the pattern stand out and look super duper shiny and sparkly!
Final Touches
Yay! Now that you’re super happy with your pattern, let’s take a moment to look at it again and make any little changes that might make it even more awesome! Make sure to get rid of any extra lines or scribbles on your paper.
Experiment and Explore
Have fun and play around: Don’t worry, it’s okay to try out different shapes, arrangements, and colours together! Wow, there are so many possibilities! Your imagination can make the coolest patterns ever!
