Outline your design using a pencil to begin with. Ensure that you fill the page and consider the pattern and shapes that you create. You can change the scale of your design to correspond with the size of the piece of lining.

Add your first colour to your design. Remember that the colour white is already part of your design, so leave spaces that will make use of the colour white. Ensure that you fill the basic shapes that you have chosen with your first colour. Consider the pattern and the basic shapes that you create.

Add the third colour to your design, namely black. Ensure that you fill the basic shapes in with black. You can also strengthen the black lines if you wish, in order to achieve a better contrast between colours.

What is your opinion of the design? The composition? The choice of colours? The basic shapes? Please give your personal opinion.
