FULL ENGLISH VERSION

Greetings, lovely people of #HiveDIY. The ๐ **Hearts** ๐ girl is back with you. Today I'm bringing you a **LOVE Heart**. This image I found on Pinterest really caught my eye, and I wanted to try making my own version, so I'm sharing it with you. The image I used as a guide was the following:



I started by making a small square, counting its squares in both width and height. In total, there were 24x24 squares.

First I made a large square in pencil and then highlighted it in black, including its interior grids, with a fine-tipped black marker.

Then I just started coloring it like a mandala. But to make it more fun, I worked from the outside in. I started by giving the heart shape and left the colored lines for the letters after I had the heart ready.
To show you the process quickly and without using so many photos, I grouped them together as an animated gif so you could see the sequence of my drawing more easily.

As you can see, there's a slight difference between my heart and the one I used as a guide. My heart has a two-line bottom end, while the heart I showed you at the beginning has two double lines before reaching the center. I'll show it to you below so you can see it better:

Once the heart was finished, I began painting the letters inside the heart, counting the number of squares each one takes up. For each letter, just like the heart, I created a GIF image so you can visualize the result more easily.

For the L, I wanted to use a light pink. And for the other letters, I wanted to use bright colors that would stand out to the eye, creating a better contrast with the black. Below, I show you how I made the letter O in yellow.

Now comes the letter V. This is where you'll notice a slight difference from the initial drawing. For this one, I used the color green.

Now all that remains is to draw the letter E, for which I used the color Orange and I found it to be the most fun letter to draw.

So far I have the following drawing as a result.

And when I noticed that there was an uneven part with the black color between the top and bottom sides, I decided to even everything out by finishing coloring that entire section of the heart in black.

Then add simple patterns to the sides to add an extra touch to the drawing. As always, you know I like the whole leaf painted.

For the patterns, I used purple and dark blue, creating a sort of diamond shape interspersed with white. Finally, I used a dark gray, resulting in the following design:



I really liked the color contrast and the effect the white gave it. It was something new for me to do, and I had a lot of fun doing it. What do you think? Are you up for trying it? Let me know in the comments; I'll be reading them.

Before I go, I want to add the final result of that [Linked Heart](https://peakd.com/hive-130560/@pannavi/el-eslabon-del-corazon-parte) that I made last time. Unfortunately, I can't show you the remaining process, but I can show you how it turned out in the end, since I had to format my phone and lost the photos. I hope you like it. Until my next post! ๐
