This may be old news to some but being brand new to 'Basket Illusion', I spent a fair amount of time on videos, groups, etc. learning the ropes. Once I sat down to design on the paper polar charts/graphs that most were using, I thought there had to be a better way. So, I thought I'd share. If you go to sites such as mathpolate.com and after entering your parameters, select the Download button to save the graph in .pdf format. Then, using Inkscape (Free), PhotoShop (or Photoshop Essentials is much cheaper), open the .pdf file. Then, choose your color and the the Paint Bucket tool to paint your individual cells. Easy to change colors or make corrections!

Also, if you want to match the colors on your screen with your pens, you may be able to find the RGB and/or Hex codes online ,and then just use those numbers for your software's paint color. Or use the eye dropper tool on their samples.
