Sudha your rangoli has come up good,few suggestions...The outer white lines should be thicker....Take little care while drawing strokes as this will give more effect and good presentation.....try to take full picture and If possible take top view also.......

Sudha I can see that you have been in a big hurry to complete this kolam thereby not drawing proper neat strokes to outline the colouring.. As Lakshmi also said the most important thing while doing a colour kolam is the outline - it that is nice and bold then the entire kolam is lifted up. Next time I am sure you will spare more time for that - waiting to see more soon - other than that the kolam is a nice one with a pleasant combination of three colours :)

Nice kolam.. Legends have given you suggestions... Guess your kids have given their hand in the final outcome, referring the top flower colouring....

sudhAji, this is really good. The colour combination is eye arresting! The floor colour adds its own charm. Regards! - mOhana

This is your first "indoor" kolam, and thank you very much for sharing this piece! The green and pink combination looks nice. I like how you have causally turned the inner design into a group of leaves. Usually, we tend to make flowers/stars out of such an inner piece, so this is different and interesting. I hope you will share more of such indoor and casually drawn kolams. The way I see it; it is like drinking a bowl of warm rasam on a cold night! :)

Sudhaji, I like your casual way of drawing. the colors used are very soothing to the eyes. ( This reminds......a lady in a simple cotton saree worn in a casual way,with an avasara kondai( HAIR DRESS) coming out to buy vegitable!!!.....Lata, we get so inspired with such kolams also no?) rajamma

In my opinion, this has not been drawn in a hurry. Look at the midrib and the veins of the six central leaves. They seem to have been drawn quite carefully. Regards! - mOhana
