I didn't know how to mark the center of the canvas, so I copied the silhouette, cut, folded twice and cut the tip. I put it on top and marked the center.
Circles
Make circles by placing the point of the compass in the center. This will serve as a guide.

To make the points, get enough paint, put the marker perpendicular to the canvas and go down. We will start with the center.
