Rangoli Colors - Drawing Contest [4 entries]
Contest goal:
DIGITAL DRAWING: Diwali is a 5 day "Festival of Lights" that is celebrated in India between mid October and mid November of each year. Diwali 2011 begins October 26. Homes are decorated for the festival, often with patterns and designs created on doorsteps with colored powders.
"Rangoli" is a Sanskrit work meaning creative art created with colors, and Rangoli art is often considered to bring good luck, as well as a decorative spirit to homes during Diwali. Most Rangoli art designs are circular to represent the endlessness of time, and often have a geometrical pattern.
Common themes are animals and lotus flowers, to signify the relationship between man and the Earth. The Goal of this contest is to create a vivid, vibrant, and colorful circular design to celebrate Diwali. You must use a MINIMUM of 3 colors, and black is only allowed for linework and must not dominate your work. The keyword here is COLOR. Have fun, and Happy Diwali!
REMEMBER these contests require that you post at least 2 intermediate steps of your drawing in a step by step guide, so we can see the progress of your work.

Flora - created by TemporaNigra
Rangoli w. Elephant - created by BeckyBumm
Very first try here so I just hope that I write everything where I should and that I filled out everything :)
I used for this image Adobe Illustrator, with its built in gradients and a brush I made for the elephant (simple triangle with a circle at the end to make the lines smooth) plus my Graphic Tablet. The step by step image (where do I need to upload it? we will see...) I made in photoshop with my marvellous align technique :P
Ps: yes...my English is terrible :)
Ps.2: removed all the automated gradients...sorry was my terrible mistake :( (5 years and 2922 days ago)

Really lovely, great depth and color!
Oh how beautiful! This is like a cross between Peter Max and (Monty Python artist) Terry Gilliam.
Rangoli is a traditional decorative folk art of India which made on floors and the base material is usually dry or wet granulated rice or flour to which sindoor,haldi and other natural colors can be added,even people use colored sand and flowers/petals too.So it is not possible to imply a 3D effect in rangoli as it has been shown in this image.Although it is a good piece of art but far from reality.
Sorry but is not possible to use rice, flour, sand or petals with photoshop :P
Nice work ,but would have been better to make it larger to get a better look at it. gl
@author, I think what @newrays meant was that, smooth gradients & shadows are kinda not in the spirit of rangoli (read: implementable). Steep gradients & shadows however work.
Besides that, nice design, not practical, but nice design & equally good implementation. Good luck
Very Nice Congrats
