I hope you guys really enjoyed the session. 2. Materials required: Hello everyone. So let's know the materials required in order to create beautiful mandalas. We need a 5M grid paper for pattern practice, mechanical pencil, two sets of fine liner, 0, 1, 0, 2 it is. I have taken add philosophies, tropical palette, predictor, a campus that can hold a pen and pencil brought a flat brush of 12, number a ruler and a three and a GSM watercolor paper for our watercolor Mandela. 3. Warmup exercise: Hello everyone, Welcome to the warm-up exercises. So in this exercise we will practice a basic shapes, patterns and pillows. So this is the first basic shape that we use in Mandela. It is called paddle shape and we use this shape in layers also in order to create intricate details. Okay, So in the end of this session, you will be able to create different type of patterns on your own. And this potentiate will also be uploaded in the project section. So you can refer to it also that it will there will be I've had an exercise. All of us. Some of that. Okay. Thanks. We often think of that. Hi. Often. And the two of them. 4. Creating basic layout: Hello everyone, Welcome back. So let's start creating our first layout. I have taken even says watercolor paper, and I'm going to draw two diagonal lines and we will get the center of a beach. Now I will start drawing concentric circles. Either you can draw it with a gap of 0.5 centimeter or you can draw them randomly. So we are going to draw the concentric circles from till the edge of the paper. So once it is done, we will start dividing our circles into ten degrees of angle each. And start connecting the dots to the center. And it will give us the layout for our data and start adding the leaves. And so EMBL center part we are not going to create. You can forget details. We are going to use simple, basic part about death. And after that, we will divide up underline to do Malia. And once it is done, Mandela GridLayout as comfy. So let's start in Kingdom and DLA. 5. Basic mandala: Hello everyone, Welcome to the first chapter of alpha basic Medallia. In this, we will start inking on Monday from the center to the output. So as we have very little space in the central fundamental law. So we are gonna use simple, basic border patterns so that it won't give us a messy look and it will be crisp and clear. Now we will start doing the outline of our Coleman. And I have divided it. As we have seen, I'm doing the first layer now. So last we will complete wp, add an outline and we will move on to the second layer, the outer world. Okay, so when we move from the friends between grains of n degrees of angle will increase. So in order to minimize it and in order to achieve in trickier seas and the outer layer, I am going to subdivide that bought into half. For the outline, I'm using a thin outer line. And you can also use fine line 0, 4, 0, 5. If you have a device, you can use that to create the outline of the button. Okay, so here I have started doing the double line of my pattern. The outermost line is a bold line that I have created with a pen tip marker and another line, that double line that I am drawing, it does with 0 to find liners. Reason being when you are creating intricate details. That little white gap between two patents give you more Phenice and more fake look. So make sure whenever you are doing the button outline in Froyo Mandela, make sure to do it in a double line B. Let's start adding the details to our Mandela. So if you're getting confused on which paddles to use, please make sure you keep your pattern book in front of you. So you can choose whichever pattern you want to use and which here, and you can create inside it. It just tips and techniques that helps me out whenever I'm creating intricate mandala. So once we will complete this pattern, our first layer of our Mandela is complete and we will move on to the outer layer and final layer of our Mandela. 6. Adding details: So let's start the basic.

Again, a bit smaller from the previous one that we have drawn just now. And thus more or less one, the fourth $1 on top of the last day, Bye. Now we will start dividing each one by one. When you start dividing your Mandela into ten degrees of each, you have to always place your predictor on the center point.
