About Copycat - Hexagonal Padi Hase : PRINT

Here is the copy of mOhanaji's Hexagonal Padi rangoli. I have used dots to get somewhat close to it. Drawn on paper and colored using photoshop.
Dot count: 23 X 12

Nice try and you have succeeded in that, Anirudh ! My only suggestion is, you could have used the same green outside also.

Anirudhji wow this is an excellent outcome of an already wonderful design yet looks different from the original.. the overall product is very very pretty... just one thing i felt was the dots left unattended you could have done something about that, just an opinion, yet this looks fabulous

thanks to all.

rajammaji, missed to add scanned.... most often i draw on paper then scan and color the pic in photoshop. only thing we need to ensure is the lines drawn should be little dark and no gaps in between becos filling colors becomes time consuming as color fills in other areas through the gaps. then we will need to use select tool to select the area and then fill....hmm may be demo next time

Sure Brindhaji, will make the change and see.
Pushpaji, i missed to make traingles in the outer ones ...inner ones normally i used to earse them, but left them as it is for the counts.

As I mentioned earlier, I am way behind in i-kOlam and I missed this. What caught my attention was SrI aniruddhA's comments about dark lines and filling colours. Then only I went to the original and got the surprise. I am really very much humbled. I just make these to amuse myself and in the process trying to make others enjoy. Yes, this is a good re-creation and in its own way another original and so I congratulate SrI aniruddha. It also proves my theory, that any rangOli can be "dotted" Occasionally, I amuse myself by placing a rangOli on rectangular or hexagonal grid and adjusting the magnification of one or the other so that the dots fall in place. Yes, the lines must be thick and continuous and there must not be any gaps and then only it is easy to fill colours. When I arrange my patterns, sometime it is very difficult to avoid gaps as the "Ctl" button can only go so far and no further! Sometime I overcome this by using "edge detection" to thicken the lines or use the "blur" command to close the gaps. Again, thanks aniruddhajI.

Regards! - mOhana
