So far we have seen how to join basic shapes into a composite design. These designs are good, but they still don't look like real mehndi because the shapes are empty. So the mehndi looks empty. To give these designs a more full look, you need to fill these shapes. Today I will show you some simple ways of filling up the shapes.
You can use any type of filling in any type of shape. Using a different filling for the same shape gives it a different look every time. This way you can add variety and richness to your mehndi.
Note that these are not the ONLY ways of filling up shapes. I have just given some examples. You can use any way to fill up the shapes as long as it looks attractive. Look at mehndi designs by other artists to collect ideas on how to fill up shapes.
With these filling designs, we complete most of the fundamentals of basic mehndi designs. The only thing that remains now is to combine the techniques you have learned so far into beautiful mehndi designs. In my next post, I will show you some very simple but beautiful designs that you can use as your starting point as a mehndi artist. Till then, keep practicing.
Thanks :)
