First of all, the basic pattern materials are drawn, that is, a print-style woman portrait and a fig cutaway, and the two basic materials are arranged separately, paying attention to their orientation and sparse relationship when arranging. After that, the two rows of patterns are layered on top of each other, and a dark background is set to enhance the layering, and a fun pattern with artistic and decorative properties is complete.
