So many of you have asked to see a video on lace pattern, so in this tutorial I’ll show
you a couple of ways you can make it.
The first way is a little more meticulous. If you want the mesh of the lace to be more
uniform, try making a grid first. I’m drawing one out, but you can also use grid paper if
you prefer.
First I’m going to figure out the main elements that will make up the pattern design.
I’m going to repeat these elements I drew across the whole grid.
Then for the trim I added these loops.
Now fill in the design. I’m drawing with a loopy motion to make more of a stitch lace
texture.
And for the trim, I’m adding more decorative elements to the loops.
If you want to, you can trace the surrounding grid. I know this will take awhile and may
require some patience, but if you are really in the mood to doodle, this should be fun
for you.
And I’m rounding the edges here to make a stitched look.
This is where having a grid comes in handy because you don’t have to think about making
the shapes perfect, you can just fill them in.
Here is the finished result. I ended up adding some darker lines to fill in more space and
tie everything together.
The second way you can make a lace pattern is more freehand and might take less time.
I’m trying this one on black paper with a metallic marker. You can also use opaque
pens or white paper as well.
To start out, I’m making the trim with similar loops.
Then you can make similar elements on the pattern, however you want to draw them. I’m
sticking to small and large flowers on this one.
You may notice lace comes in a lot of floral designs, so go ahead and get your flower power
on while drawing these.
For the mesh part, instead of tracing a grid you can be more freehand and draw connecting
loops. I like to start around the elements and then join them together.
And here is the finished lace pattern.
