How to Draw Vines with Henna

Video Transcript

"Continuing on with the bridal henna design that we've started. We have most of the hand filled out and now we're doing the fingers which we'll be doing with vines and those are made up mostly of swirls and some leaves and some dots. Draw the bases of it and then go in with leaves after. Again with the same dot and pull method that we used in the lotus petals. Now that we've got the bases of it, we're just going to put some little dots in there. We'll stick to three dots since that's what we did around the lotus. So that's one finger and we're just going to do the same on all the fingers trying to make it come out from one of the points of the petals if we can. So again just doing the same swirls and leaves on every hand kind of sticking with the same amount of swirls per finger. Make each one grow out from the line and swirl before it. So now we finished the henna design and it looks fairly complicated with all of the vines and dots and lotus and the paisley and the peacock but I did just want to point out that this is very simple as far as Indian bridal henna goes. Typically it can take as long as an hour or two just to do one hand. Typically we would fill in the spaces that look empty now so that it looks like a complete laced glove."
