Now you can see how the cone is being pinched to bring out the colour to draw the base of the petal. A beautiful design depends on the person who is drawing the mehendi. Earlier in weddings, the bride's aunt used to execute these mehendi designs on everyone, now-a-days professional mehendi designers are hired to draw mehendis. By following these simple steps, you can draw your own mehendi without depending on anyone! After the petals are drawn it is time for the next step.

You can see how the leaves are shaded differently. The leaf on the top of the flower is divided into two sections and then the shading is done. The bottom leaf has shading on all its sides and then a small petal like design is executed in the middle. This design is so simple that it can be done on the palm and also on the arm as mehendi tattoo.
