This is a really easy draw exercise. That's ^^ the finished result.

You can use any color blank and any color stroke for draw. For demonstration purposes, I'm using a black bg and white for the stroke color. Blank size is 300 x 300.

Go to draw.

Choose ELIPSE

Stroke color=white, size=2, no fill color

In the parameter box type the following coordinates:

+10+10 +60+60 +0+360

Go to draw again.

Change just the 1st number in the 2nd set of coordinates:

+10+10 +70+60 +0+360

Go to draw again.

Again, change just the 1st number in the 2nd set of coordinates:

+10+10 +80+60 +0+360

Go to transform - choose FLOP.

Go to draw and repeat the 3 draw steps above.

Go to transform - choose FLIP.

Go to draw and repeat the 3 draw steps above.

Go to transform - choose FLOP.

Go to draw and repeat the 3 draw steps above.

You should now have 3 half circles on each corner of your blank.

Next, go to TRANSFORM.

Choose ROTATE. Note - ROTATE, not rotate right or rotate left.

In the text box type -15 (negative 15)

Scroll down to box for background color and type in black. ( or whatever color bg you are using)

Check the "reset page geometry" box.

Click transform.

Back to draw.

This time choose LINE. Same color and stroke size.

Parameters:

+15+15 +15+352

Flop and repeat the line draw.

Rotate right and repeat the line draw.

Flop and repeat the line draw.

Rotate right and repeat the line draw.

Decorate with fav gifs.

If you make the drawing on a transparent bg, you can comp it over an image for a unique look.

If you make it white on black, save it. Then make a quick color change, by entering the url for the drawing. Scroll down to PAINT. Choose reset & color from the dropboxes, choose a color, then point and click. Then composite the blank using multiply. Instant color change!
