Remove the fill, but leave the black outline. We will start working in Illustrator – here we have to create a pattern of geometric shapes.

You can skip the step of creating geometric shapes and download the psd-file with shapes. For the greatest convenience when placing figures, you can enable Rulers (Rulers) in the menu View(View), as well as Grid (Grid), by clicking View – Show – Grid (View – Show – Grid).
