Greetings, talented folks at #HiveDIY. I continue to be obsessed with 💜 Hearts 💜. Whether they're pixelated, Minecraft-style, geometric, or an optical illusion style, which, from what I can see, I still have a long way to go to achieve. Today, I bring you a simple Rainbow Heart to make. For this drawing, I started by taking inspiration from an image on Pinterest that I show below:

As you know, I am obsessive-compulsive when it comes to counting squares to orient myself in time and space and know exactly where to place my drawing. This time was no exception. I first determined the center and started from the inside out, using red as my first color.
Then I used orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and red again. To keep this post short, I will leave the step-by-step instructions in photos, as you can easily follow along with the guide images.

Now that the heart is done, we need to make the border. You could leave it like this and finish here, but as you know, I like to color everything that is blank.
To make the border, I followed the same color order as when I drew the heart, that is, I started with red, then orange, then yellow, then green, followed by blue, purple, and red again, completing the cycle.
I also started in the upper left corner with the color red, leaving 5 spaces or squares in between to repaint the red square, and so on with the other colors. For this step, I will show it in orderly photos.

Once everything was colored like a rainbow, I decided to highlight everything with an ultra-fine black marker to make it look nicer, resulting in this:
And since I'm a big fan of the color black, but so as not to overload the entire drawing with this color, I highlighted only the inside of the heart frame in black as well. The result looked like this:
For the outer edge, I wanted to draw a grid pattern, also using colors that contrasted with the heart itself.
I wanted to use a pattern similar to one of my previous geometric drawings, but this time with a rhombus added so that it wouldn't look all square and boring.
I drew the diamonds in black, and the rest would be in two different colors. I wanted gold, but since I have a gold marker, I used a light brown one instead. I was unsure about the other color, between a blue-gray and a light pink. In the end, I decided on blue-gray.
As you can see, I drew some squares on the outer edge and others on the inner square, alternating between them. First with light brown, then with blue-gray.
Here I show the inner squares in blue-gray. I show the edges of the other squares below, as this would be the final result of my drawing.

I think the choice of colors for the outer border and the checkered pattern goes very well with the bright colors of the heart. In addition, the black color continues to bring the design to life without looking excessive. I loved it. What did you think? I look forward to reading your comments! Until my next post! 💚
