1. A method for creating a gloss effect, comprising:
adjusting a color selected with a first RGB color value for a first pattern ink among a plurality of pattern inks to appear lighter;
selecting a common geometric pattern for the plurality of pattern inks including the first pattern ink and a second pattern ink among the plurality of pattern inks;
writing a feature within an object with a second RGB color value;
writing a geometric pattern opaquely on top of the selected common geometric pattern;
erasing the feature within the object with a third RGB color value;
writing the feature with a fourth RGB color value; and
writing the geometric pattern opaquely on top of the feature in the color adjusted selected for the first pattern ink to create a gloss effect with the geometric pattern opaquely on top of the feature in the color adjusted selected for the first pattern ink which displays the feature.
