Freehand Mandala
Playing catchup with the Life Book Course, today I followed Tam’s Freehand Mandala class from week 36.
I hand drew it in pencil, then coloured it using Derwent Inktense Pencils. When I had got to this point with colouring it, I couldn’t decide whether to colour the rest of the background in or to leave it as it was. So I scanned it in to the computer and added some digital backgrounds to see what they looked like. This is my favourite – it really seems to make the colours pop!
After all that, I decided to leave the original as it is. But it was fun playing.
Another Seed…
Here’s my version of another Seed of Life mandala from the talented Guada.
I had a lot of fun making this one! I drew it in pencil then coloured it using a mixture of Derwent Inktense Pencils, Lumiere paint, acrylic paint, graphite pencil, uniball eye pen, and uni paint marker. The colour was built up in layers which gives it extra depth. Thanks for another brilliant lesson Guada!
Seed Of Life
I’ve just finished colouring in the mandala I drews for the first part of Guada’s free Seed of Life course.
I love her classes and the meditative discipline of creating these mandalas. I drew this one in pencil then coloured it using Derwent Inktense Pencils and a graphite pencil. I’m looking forward to starting this weeks lesson.
