Islamic art - eightfold shapes II

Hi friends!

I want to show you a variation on the design already made in the previous post. We will add an element or rather repeat an existing element once more before starting to draw the grid.
This change will lead to a different order of the design as you'll see.

-----------------------------------------------

At this stage, in the previous post, we started drawing the grid to fill the drawing paper with the design.

We'll proceed to draw a second external square but rotated 45° as shown below in red.

This is the shape, ready to be repeated on the drawing surface. To do this, we will extend the parallel lines from each intersection, in all orientations, i.e. horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines.

In this close-up, you can appreciate all the helplines traced and extended from the shape.

Here below, the entire surface with the helplines traced.

Here I started to sketch the shapes in pencil over the helplines.

Once the drawing is finished and precise, choose the colours you want, one or two for the shape, another for the resulting intermediate shape and another for the background.

Like this...
