5 Days of Beautiful Mandalas

1. Introduction : Hello everyone, myself, richer or watercolor in a Mandela adls based in India. And I have been practicing these both odd froms For the last five years. We can also connect on Instagram. I go by the name otto stakes, just search me by the name our districts, and that's it. Today, I would like to welcome you all to my new Skillshare class that has five days of beautiful mandalas in which we will be learning different kinds of 5 $1 in easy step-by-step process. And these are very beautiful to do. So let me give you a tool of the projects that we will be doing in our class. The first project is a green leaf guage Mandela, which is done on a wash bag around the right. And the second one is Floral mandala that has also has been done on the garage background. The third one is a classic black and white Mandela and who doesn't love a classic black and white? Everyone does. The fourth one is a hexagon Mandela with a twist of red. Last but not the least, it is a ludus Mandela. So without any delay, let's get started with our class. 2. Art Supplies: Hello everyone. Let us know the art supplies that we need in order to create our medulla. So we're gonna start with campus. The campus I have taken it is France deadlier. We need a pencil. It is a ruler and predictor. And we need 010 to find liner. We need masking tape, and we need some wash or poster colors. Let's grab our paper and I will start fixing the masking tape on the edges of our paper. Once it is ready, we will move on to the color mixing chapter. 3. Colour Mixing: Hello everyone and welcome back to the color mixing session. And in this we will be learning how to make some color for the background of our Mandela. Okay, so I am going to use post to color is in the sap green sheet. So if you don't have full circular, you can also offer gouache. And I'm also going to use white gouache. The color proportion is two parts of sap green into paths of white gouache. If you feel your shadings bit on the darker side, you can adjust the white gouache accordingly to your need. Second thing, when we are mixing our color, we have to be cautious that we have to prepare our color on a creamy texture consistency. It should not be watery. So it will give the effect of gorge as opposed to colors and Gorgias quite similar in the properties. Both are mad and both are easily reactivated and weekend see the particulars are a cheaper version of gore's. As you can see, I've colored is prepared and I'm gonna add some water to get it on a creamy texture consistency. So it is prepared. Now, I have already taped down my paper. This sketchbook is 240 GSM. It is with this smooth texture will get, this is an ivory paper. So if you don't have this paper, then it's completely fine. You can opt for any paper, whatever you have. I will start painting our background and I'm going to do a flat wash of Sap Green Bay style sheet that we have created. If you feel your brushes slightly dry or your color is slightly dry, what you can do is dip your brush in the water, remove excess water. I only have one or two drops of water is more than sufficient. Okay? So in this way you will get a flat wash off sap green and the color will be ready, and our background will be ready to go is DD. So let's move on to the detailing part of our Mandela. 4. Pattern Pratice Exercise: Hello everyone and welcome back. In this session we'll be doing some pattern platters, the battles that I have used in all the five Mandela's that will read drawing without any delay. Let's get started. I always make sure whenever you are drawing the shapes, you do you use your 0203 number fine liner. And when you are feeling details in those shifts, you're supposed to use 01 number phyla. Such intricate videos, okay. And that pattern doctors is almost complete. So let's see you guys in the next chapter. 5. Creating Grid: Hello everyone and welcome back. So I background as ready. We're gonna start prototyping a grid. So we have to find the center of a beach. So I'm going to join all the four opposite corners. And now where the line will be intersecting both lines, that will be the center of our page. So I'm gonna take a point from that. And I'm gonna draw a line on the bottom part of our paper. And we'll get the center of deadline. Fine. Once we will have the center, I'll take my campus, please your campus, protect campus on the point. And then start drawing random concentric circles. Or you can draw it at the gap of 0.5 centimeter. We have to draw the circle still the both corners of online from which we have taken the center and we are drawing the random concentrate goods. And again, let me tell you that you can draw it with a gap of 0.5 centimeter. If you're not comfortable with that, you can draw it randomly. Fine. Once they are done, I will replace my pencil with a permanent marker to draw the outline of our goods. Let's start it. Make sure whenever you are drawing the outline of your grid, the concentric circles one, you always double line it because it will give more Phenice in your patterns when you will draw the finance and the shapes on the grid. Now we are going to mark ten degrees of angle, each on the outer circumference. So far so good, the median one. Once it is done, we will start joining the line from those angles today. Center of our Mandela. Please see on the center of a Madonna and start joining the lines to the relevant angles that we have created. We have to repeat this process in the whole half circle that we have created. Our grid is complete and I'm going to start drawing shapes to be filled with buttons and I am using 01 fine liner. We'll get these other shapes that we have practiced in the technique section. So just before I start drawing, it goes through the technique section to get a hand on these chips and fellows. Draw the outline of the shapes I am going to use ten dip my GPA or what you can do is you can also use 00 for number. Fine liner. That's completely fine. As I don't have right now it with me. So I'm using a thin tip permanent Margot to outline my shapes. Okay. Now I'm gonna start the outlining our shapes with the help of the 01 fine liner. Okay, once this whole process is done, we'll start filling up. Betty does. So when you are creating the layout of your mandala, take it easy, goes slow. You don't have to Josh's enjoy your time in the process. It is almost complete, so let's move on to the next spot. And that is a detailing section or foreign Mandela. 6. Adding Details: Hello everyone and welcome back to the detailing session or firemen dollar. Okay, So these are the patterns that we have plugged this in the pattern practice session. I don't think that you will be having any problem. Once I will do some patterns. And then I'm going to fast forward the process because I have already told you about it. Okay, so let's start up the D dealing. Now we will complete this layer with another floral pattern that is very easy to do and it is one of the most favorite patterns of mine to fill up the layers. Again. So let's get started. For this layer, we are going to draw a small, fastly design. It is one of the most frequently used patterns and Mandela and quite easy to draw. Okay, So just go through with the patterns action technique equation. So you will find all these patterns practice then, and you'll also find a button cheats to practice drawing. Okay, so here I fast forwarded the process because I was going to repeat the same thing. Right. The right highlights to our mandala, I am using a signal white gel pen. What do you do is you can also use white gel pen, okay, that we're required to do in Ottoman data. Let's finish it and move on to the last kid. In the next shift. 7. Adding Details 2: Hello everyone and welcome back to the detailing session by T2. And in this, we are going to complete the final layer. Let's start adding the shapes in the final layer. Now, we're going to add the white highlights and our mandala. Okay, so you can use signal white gel pen. Either you can use a white acrylic marker or Posca marker, or you can use a white gel. Once it is, then we'll move on to the last chapter. Okay. Now for the contrast highlight, I am using our light green postcard. Or you can use any other marker or sketch pen or watercolors, whatever you have, you can use it. Okay. So we're going to highlight the little spins that is left in between the two layers. Okay, so it gives a nice refreshing contrast look for our Mandela. Once we are done coloring dad's particular areas that I have already told we are we are now going to do the double line on those ideas so that it won't look messy. Okay, Ben will complete our final medulla. Then it won't look messy and it gives some very beautiful and clean and fresh look. I wanted to dealing part is done. So we'll finish those center, these all fire Mandela, the center Flatow from Mandela with the shading techniques that I have already told in the technique section. And then we will move ahead to paint some leaves. And for that I'm gonna use sap green color mixed with a dark tone of viridian hue. Okay, so I let you know about this thing and the next chapter. So let's finish it and move on to the next chapter. Thank you. 8. Painting Leaves: Hello everyone and welcome back. In this session we will be painting some good full green gouache leaves. And I am taking the same sap green color that we have used to paint our background. This time we are not going to light the color. What we're gonna do, we're gonna make a dot, few shades on the darker sides. Okay? So I have taken two parts of sap green and I am going to add three or four part of viridian hue in this color, so we will get a darker tone of sap green, and mix.

The color that I am going to use our media, yellow, rose, and white color. Okay. So we had to take two parts of muddy yellow, just a hand-off rows and whitewash, one bond.

Once we are done with it, we will create angles and we will divide our Sonka circles and do it angles. What I will be doing that I will be creating this Mandela free hand. But what you can do is you can place your product or on the top bar on the right bottom corner of our page. And you can also draw angles with ten degrees of gap. Okay, So once it is done, start outlining your Mandala grid. Like the way I am doing. And what I'm gonna do is I'm going to do the double line eat sections so that once we will add details, it will be crisp and clear. The details won't margin to each other.

I always use a CD, DVD market because that's mode, convenient for me to fill up the negative space that we have in our mandalas or whatever we left when we are done Vidar patterns, okay, So this is just a protein. We can use that CD, DVD market with attentive. Or what you can do is you can use a fine liner of 08 size. That will be perfect. If you feel that your fine liners are not working on gouache properly, what you can do is you can change the nib size to three. As I have also switched my fine liners and right now I'm working with a 03 fine liners because this problem doesn't happen. But maybe in case if it is happening with you just change the lip size and a switch 203 finalized English. Now detailing BARDA is almost complete and I am just giving the final touch ups.

I'm gonna first the center of our beach. We have to join the lines from each respective corner to their adolescent fun. And we will get the center. And once we will get the center, we have to create a circle with a circumference of 6.5 centimeter. We have to draw concentric circles at the gap, both 0.5 centimeter, okay, and the circumference of outermost circle is 6.5. Let's start dividing r goes into 20 degrees of angle each. So place your predictor on the center point of good and then start marking the 20 degrees angle on both of the sides. And once it is done, we will join the angles to the center of our Mandela. Let's start inking the layout or one-off first, do the double line of the outer circumference of our Mandela. We have to create an odd between the two degrees of angle. So I have gazed my campus on the center point, as you can see in the video, I'm creating the egg, okay, So it will give an edge for our beautiful Mandela. Let's draw this antibody of our Mandela. It is a very simple, easy petal pattern that I'm just creating right now. We have to create a circumference for this flower. And my pen is not compatible with my campus for such a little circumference. So I'm going to draw Ed flee handedly. So if you want, you can use the campus. And if you'd gone, then you can also draw it freehand li like the way I am doing. Now, I'm gonna create one more circle with a gap of 0.5 centimeter or two, our flower that we have created. Okay, and I'm gonna do it double line. After that, we will start laying, laying out our grid formation for our Mandala patterns. Now take your predict. Take you joined the lines the way I am doing and we have to repeat this process altogether for the whole Mandela. Now we're gonna double line segments and once it is done, we will start doing the shapes in the grid. Now let's start creating the shapes in the grid that we have created. It is almost complete. So let's move on to the next chapter. 14. B&W Mandala Adding Details: Hello everyone and welcome back. And, but we will start ID dealing session and I am going to use 01 fine liner. And these patterns are available in the pattern practice section, so you can pick the Zoom beforehand before starting your mandala. So let's get started. Once I will show you how one pattern is done. Once or twice, I will show you how it will be done and then I'm going to speed up the process as always, because I'm going to repeat the same pattern. For me. It is a bit easier when I am doing 1.5 of pattern all in one Flow-like, I'm just rotating my sketch book and I'm just completing the half of the petal because it comes nicely in rhythm. So if they're not comfortable with this method, what you can do is you can always go for doing the full petal and then move on to the next first year. It is complete, and let's move on to the next 1. First I'm going to do double outline and all of the shifts in the second layer. And once it is done, then we will start dealing. Now I'm going to show you how the pattern is done in this battle and this particular section, the petal I am doing and the tools are one on the sides and one above this petal, as we'll be doing this section complete before. I let you know how to do these patterns in these shapes. And once it is done, I will pass forward the process. All the layers are completed and now only the outer most bottles remaining.

Hexagon Mandala Grid Formation: Hello everyone and welcome back. Today we are going to create this gorgeous, beautiful black and white treatment Allah. Without any delay, let's get started. I'm going to draw a circle with a circumference of 6.5 centimeter. You have to find the center of your page and then you have to draw a circle with a 6.5 centimeter radius. Now, I'm drawing one line that is horizontal. I'm going to place my compass on the point. Both the circumference and the line. Join. And I'm gonna draw a half circle like the VA I am doing. The distance will be the same. Died from given any point on the circumference to the center. Okay. You have to be a bit patients and draw it very light and Italy because if you just move from 0.1 centimeter also, It's gonna spoil your whole work. Just take it easy. Okay, don't create the circle. We just need the circumference of 6.5 centimeter to create this flower. And now I'm gonna start double lining in Florida that we have created. Okay, when you are creating the flower, make sure that the distance on which you are going to create the art should be the same as it is from the circumference to the center, okay? It should be the same gap. So you just have to place your compass on the circumference and with the same distance from that point to your center, you're going to draw the circle, half circle. Now it is done. So let's start creating our hexagon that we're gonna create with the help of this flyer. Make sure while creating your grade, you are not forgetting to double outline your layout. The gap on which I am drawing the circle is this three centimeter from the center, okay. Now we're going to draw one line here with a gap of 0.5 centimeters from the outermost line that we have created for our hexagon. And in this section of bandana, we will be using broader patterns. Now I'm going to divide that particular part that is between two leaves into half. Okay? So I have to divide this specific section of farming data into equal half so we can create similar details and more Ferdinand shapes on the grid layout. I'm going to do a bold outline to our paddles. There are multiple users of your projector like the leg here, I am creating a petal shape between the two leaves with the help of our predictor. So I'm just drawing the first half of the leaf and placing our predicted to the line that we have intersect. We have divided the section into equal half. Okay? Now I'm going to give it a bold outline to this, these petals that we have created, as you can see that they are created with perfectly symmetrical, perfectly symmetrical way. That was the only reason that we use our predictor in that we do create the arcs of this section. Now, I am going to divide it into half equals to half. The pedals that we have just created between the two leaves. Grid layout is almost complete and I hope you guys have enjoyed creating this layout with me. And so let's see you guys in the next chapter, we'll be doing that detailing. 16. Hexagon Mandala Adding Details: Hello everyone and welcome back. So let's start adding the details in our shapes that we have created on a grid layout. And to create the details I am using 01 fine liner. Whereas I will be using 0 to 105 number. There. I have to fill up the negative spaces. Okay, so let's get started. When you are doing the straight lines, make sure either you are using a ruler or a predictor. It will give more Phenice in your work, though it will take much time, but it will be on the better side. Appreciating purpose, always shy and I use are used or rough fine liner because the tip is bit rough and the she'd strokes that we want to create, those are more perfect with that kind of nip inspite of using a new pen or something that is not to hold. Now what I'm gonna do is once this leaf is complete, I will add the leaves into equal house with the help of a ruler. So to draw the flaws on the edge of her hexagon, I am using 08 fine liner to draw the outline, to fill up the details, I'm going to use 01 fine liner. This is the basic reason when I'm drawing something like these flowers. I always tend to use a fine liner to give them a more prominent look. Now on detailing part is done and I am using a CD, DVD marker. It is from solo primer company and it is in red color. So it is more of a maroon color. But it looks very beautiful and coordination with black. So I'm going to use it and I have, I'm gonna highlight the section, different sections of amygdala with the help of this red marker. Medallia is almost complete and I hope you guys have enjoyed this session and don't forget to upload your projects in the project section. I would love to share them on my Instagram. And thank you so much guys for joining me in a truly means a lot to see you guys in the next session. 17. Lotus Mandala Grid Formation: Hello everyone and welcome back. And today we are going to create this beautiful black and pink Mandela. And let's get started. So I have taken the center of my page and I am drawing random concentric circles at a gap of 0.5 centimeter. The circumference for the outermost circle is five centimeter. Okay? Once God the outer circle, then we're gonna stop and start dividing our Monday Allah, the concentric circles into 20 degrees of angle each. Okay, So just create a vertical line intersecting through the center. Then please see our campus on the edge of the top point and draw a semicircle on the edge. So this will be the guideline to our loaders that we will be creating here. The distance for the CMI is a girlfriend. Outer circumference is three centimeter to the outermost circumference of this semicircle. Okay? We're gonna repeat the same process on the other end of the vertical lines. And once it is done, we will start creating angles of 20 degrees of each on our grid. Now I'm going to ink the outermost circumference that we create at the gap of 0.5 centimeter. I'm gonna double line it. Okay. Now we will start creating the other circle was this outline is done in a more circle that I am drawing. The circumference of this circle is 1.5 centimeters. Okay? Now I'm going to draw another concentrate circle at a gap of 0.5 centimeter. And I'm gonna double line it. Again. I'm doing a concentric circle at a gap of one centimeter and don't forget to double line it. Also good at a gap of 0.5 centimeter. Now we will divide our circle into 1020 degrees of angle each. Once it is done, we will start joining the lines, intersecting the center and creating the 20 degrees of angle each on the grid. Now I did is complete and I will start drawing the lotus on the top edge, on the top part of our paper. On the circle that we have created as a guideline. Be the same process on the other half. Now, we are going to incur lotus on both of the sides. Now I'm gonna create one more concentrate circle at a gap of points and 0.5 centimeter touching the edges of a Madonna. And once it is done, we will again create one more concentrate circle with the same gap 0.5 centimeter touching the edges of. Notice. Now we're going to do the double outline, a thick bold outline to the outer edges of our lotus. Let's start adding the details to our grid that we have created. And all these patterns are available in the practice. I didn't, she died. You can follow beforehand. Okay. Let's start adding shapes in different segments of amygdala. Good layout is complete. Let's move on to the next spot, the detailing part of Montana. 18. Lotus Mandala Adding Details & Thank You: Hello everyone and welcome back. So let's start adding the details to our Mandela. Once I will show you how to do these patterns. Okay, So then I'm gonna fast forward the process as I will repeat the same process. For adding the details in the shapes, please use 01 fine liner. Okay, So because you will get more intricate it that way. Once your nib size is 01. I'm using a DMI acrylic marker. And if you haven't, then it's perfectly fine. You can use any other colors that you have. Fifth you, okay, That's perfectly fine. Either you can use sketch pen or EMEA directly, acrylic Mancur, night. So that's perfectly fine.
