Hand Drawing Designs

The pattern is prepared on checkered paper. Then this pattern is transferred to checkered paper with the help of a lighted table. Strokes are filled and colored on checkered paper. Pattern borders can also be drawn directly on checkered paper without using checkered paper. The units are marked and colored. 

Also, the pattern drawn on the backside of the checkered paper is squared and colored by turning the paper upside down on the light table. If the pattern in any carpet photo is to be prepared, it can also be transferred to the checkered paper by the above methods or by using tools such as overhead projector, epidiascope, magnifying glass, and loop. For the pattern to be prepared, the size, quality, and type (report, corner, etc.) must first be determined. For a corner-by-corner design, one-quarter of the design, one half for the mihrab, and one repeat for the report (depending on the state of the pattern), it is sufficient to draw. 

There is usually a ratio of 2/3 (gold cut) between the width and length of a carpet. (So there is a ratio of 2/34 between width and height.) The border width is 1/6 or 1/5 of the carpet width. In square carpets (such as 30×30, 60×60, 80×80), the number of warp wires in the sewing (longitudinal) border is equal to the number of rows of weft. In rectangular carpets (such as 30×50, 26×40, 32×40), the ratio between width and length quality is proportional to the number of wires in the sewing border and the number of rows of the border is found. 

Half of the bordered wire or row is divided into large borders, the remaining half is divided into small borders and mother-of-pearl and flesh. Before you start to draw designs, some information about the carpet to be drawn must be known. Because the design will be prepared in the light of this information. The quality of the planned carpet, dimensions, number of warp, number of rows, number of warp and rows to be divided into borders, number of warp and rows to remain on the ground should be known. 

In light of this information, a general outline of the pattern is prepared. The motifs intended to be used in the pattern are placed on this outline and then these motifs are measured. In this way, a measured draft is prepared. It is transferred to millimeter paper in accordance with the draft quality. It is sufficient to remove the ¼ ratio of a carpet with a classical surface partitioning. In mihrab carpets, the pattern is prepared in a ratio of 1/2.
