Transcripts

1. Introduction to the class: Hello everyone and welcome back to another amusing Skillshare class of mine. And this is fluorine galaxy Mandela class. And this we will be learning how to incorporate galaxy in plurals into our medulla in an easy process. Okay, so let's get started. 2. Material list for Galaxy Floral Mandala: Hello everyone and welcome back. And let's see, this applies for our session. We need a compass, a ruler, and we need fine liners, 03.0 to j, and we need a pencil and it should be in the light shade, so it won't leave marks. We need eraser and we need a predictor. Now let's see the paper. I have used 300 GSM watercolor paper. If you don't have this paper, you can go for 200 years or more, so both of the paper will work fine. Okay, so now I have ten dB marker. This is a CD, DVD marker. I got it from a local store. So let's see our project that we will be creating in this class. This is a galaxy moon, plural Madonna. So we have painted this galaxy inside the moon in Mandela. And we need red, yellow, brown, and black color for this. And we have added florals on the edge of our Mandela. So without any delay, let's get started. 3. Half Moon Galaxy Floral Mandala: Hello everyone and welcome back to another amazing class of mine. And in this we will be learning this half one galaxy fluorine Mandela without any delay. Let's get started. Okay? So first we have to draw a circle off five centimeter diameter. And to make this circle take a gap of four centimeter from the very edge of the paper, and then draw this five centimeter circle. Okay? So once it is done, take two centimeter distance from the center of a circle. Place your compass on this point and draw an arc to create a half-moon. Okay? Now, we will double outline the circle, okay? And, uh, once it is done, we will erase the intersecting line. Now, we will place our campus on the very end of that intersecting line. And we will start drawing concentric circles with a gap of 0.5 centimeter. Okay, so the total diameter of this big circle is nine centimeter. And what do you have to do is you have to draw concentric circles and a gambled 0.5 cm. Night, though, let's do it and once it is complete, we will move on to the next part. So now our concentric circles are complete and I am going to divide it into four equal parts. And then I'm going to divide it into the angles off ten degrees angles, each with the help of my predictor. Because it is a big Mandela and this is the Snort Hoffman data. It's a semicircle Mandela. And so we have to form a grid, but precision and so Ritchie. Sure, you are using a light shade pencil, as I have told you earlier, don't use a dark one because once you Hillary's devil remarks. Okay, so let's complete our grid and then we will start drawing the shapes. As it does Florida. Mandela, we will create plurals on the very edge of our big circle. And for florals, I'll suggest please have a look of on my previous class, that is Yin and Yang class in which I have taught in detail process how to create plurals and different florals and how to do the shading part, okay? And definitely once we'll go through that class, it will help you out in a much better way when you are attempting this class. Okay. And up Florida layout is complete. Now I will use my pen tip marker to start inking the details. Okay. So for concentric circle, the first circle I have drawn, it is a freehand and then the concentric circle next to it. It is a gap of 0.5 cm. Okay? And after that, it will be a gap of two centimeter and vice versa, It's like 0.5 centimeter and then two centimeter and then 0.5 centimeter. So it's more like interrogate Look to your mandala and giving it enough Smith, enough space to bloom out with different kinds of patterns. Okay? Now, we will start outlining, inking our flora layout. And once it is done, we'll move on to the next part. And our layout is almost complete. So let's move on to the next chapter to start adding the details and Galaxy half-moon Mandela fluid layout. 4. Inking the Layout: Hello everyone and welcome back. So we will start this chapter by doing the double outline of our Haldeman data layout. Okay, so let's start doing it. And I have speed up the process because this is the same repeating process that we will be doing. Right? Now. We will draw small, so small circle with a diameter of two centimeter in the circle where we have treated the half font. Let's start inking it and working on the derailing pads. So first we have to double outline the circle, and then we have to draw concentric circle at a gap of one phase centimeter and again double outline it. And after that, we will divide the innermost circle into eight equal parts. So what you can do is you can use your ruler. You can draw it freehand because these are just the guidelines to draw up plural. Okay. Now we will start creating the leaves. And between the two lines that we have drawn, all we have to do is draw a line till half and then join both of the lines with a dome shaped pattern. Okay, So this is the easiest floral pattern and that is why we have created those guidelines to give it a more symmetrical and perfect loop again. So once we have drawn the fly, we will start doing the double outline and we will start adding padding in the empty space between two leaves. So I have drawn us, and after that, I have drawn a very sponsored go on the side of this. Well, because there is some empty space left, if there is no space in your pattern, there is only to create that. So what I always tell you that, please do select Patterns according to the space provided in your Mandela layout. Again, because if you are not doing so, you are just complicating your window and it won't look, the look of the Mandela will not be more fit, nice and perfect date. So let's start doing the double outline of the fluid. And one's a double outline is done, we will start doing the shading. And what you can do is you can refer to my previous class, Yin and Yang Mandela class, in which I have taught you in detail about how to do shading and how to do how to create the florals. So that class will definitely help you with this one and creating different kinds of floral and about the shading technique. So let's get started with the shading part. So now we're done with the shading pot. And I am creating a U-shaped pattern in the outermost concentric circle that we have created. Okay, the process is still the same. We have to draw the pattern layout, button shape, and then we will double our planet and we will add the details. Okay. So don't forget to fill up the negative space left between the two U-shapes that we have drawn. And I have decided to use a sponsor can, because we will be using that color blocking technique here in this pattern of genes. So Vanessa circle is done. I lived, you know, what does the color blocking technique? So the color blocking technique is where we take the opposite colors on the color wheel and we pair them together to make an trusting and complimentary color combinations. Okay? So for me, color blocking in Mandela is more like blocking that negative space that is left with in-between the patterns all around the patterns. So I always prefer to use black color to block that negative space. And this is the same thing that I'm doing here. Again, this just gives you a more intense look to your Mandela, right? So now our detailing part is complete and we are going to create a galaxy in the half moon that we have created. Okay? So we are going to work on wet and wet technique. And this technique, we wet the paper first and then we will start adding the colors. So I have wet my paper and I have start adding the yellow color and as a base layer. Okay, So make sure you are using a round brush number three or four, or whichever brush you are having. Okay. And once we are done with a yellow color, Just please orange color randomly in-between and leaving some yellow gap so that it really given effect of an orange and yellow galaxy. Okay, so now I'm going to add some burnt sienna here. And so as I already told you that there is no specific step-by-step process in which you can create a galaxy. You should Give it a try and please see colours randomly here in the creating some highlights and some shadow areas. So yellow is the base layer. Then we have all been sienna. And once we are done with it, we will add some highlights of red color and the black color on the edges to complete our galaxy. Once the coloring part is finished, we will do bold outline with the help of attentive marker. Or you can use Posca marker if you have three m, or you can use 0.5 and 0.8 fine liner to do so. And this chapter is about to finish. And I hope you guys have enjoyed this chapter. So let's move on to the next one. Thank you so much guys. 5. Inking the Mandala: Hello everyone and welcome back. So in this chapter, we will start the detailing in our Mandela and I have already started. And in this section, I am drawing three leaves in the petal design. And I'm doing it not in the one-way design. It's not like that. All the petals, all the leaves are drawing in the same way. What I'm doing is I'm doing one right and one left. Okay? So they will create effect of butterfly wings when we will complete this design. Okay, So now I am adding details of line and dot. Once it is done, we will fill up the gap that is left between the two leaf pattern. Okay? So in that leaf pattern, I'm going to draw a sweater. Sweater and a small circle to fill up that negative space. Philip, this U-shaped pattern, I am going to use the negative color block technique that we have used in the previous small Mandela. I'm going to color the negative space with black. Okay? Either you can use a black sketch pan or fine liner authentic mark, or you can do anything. Right? Now let's add the details to this big leaf button, okay? And I'm dividing it into two parts. I have divided this leaf into two parts by drawing a life, by drawing a line, dividing it into two. And definitely we have to bold outline at the section that is the 101. In that I will be creating lines and dots and other part where I will draw us with it. And I will draw three leaves on top of that, Sweden. Okay, so let's get started. Make sure you are drawing the same number of leaves in the pattern. It's like it should be three or four, okay? And decide the number of leaves according to this piece that is available in the pattern Zhe, okay, don't overdo it. If you are having less space than just draw two, It's non-mandatory that if I am drawing three, then you have to also do the same thing. Okay? You'll have to take a conscious decision here, whether the spaces much enough foot three or two, right? And once we're done drawing the complete pattern, we will add fine details like line and dotted the leaf. Now we will start filling up the empty space that is left between two leaves. And here I am drawing a simple floral pattern. That is a very easy, okay, So it makes our Mandela looks fuller and more intricate. And don't forget to add the details on the leaves. That is a simple line and a dot on top of it. Now let's start adding details to this big U-shaped pattern. And I haven't drawn what I can see Omby bad and, and I have chon leaves over it. Okay? So I'm not going to draw this pattern in the same direction. What I'm going to draw in one section it will be from Left and other section it will be from the way as I'm doing in the video. So whenever you are drawing a complex pattern, please make sure that you are dividing it into two parts. Like here, I have drawn the Omby pattern altogether and all the sections. And then when funds it is done, I will start adding leaves on top of it. Okay, so what it does that, it just gives us a little bit more time to draw it with ease. Because if you're drawing one pattern completely at a time, it becomes tedious. So you have to divide your pattern sections. You have to divide your work into sections. Find that I have go draws plus this part. And once I will complete this and all the sections, then I will move on to the second part of this pattern, okay. End up at then is almost about to complete and the detailing in our Mandela is also complete. So let's move on to the next chapter. We will, we will be adding details to our floral compositions. Okay, Thank you so much guys. 6. Adding Details in Florals: Hello everyone and welcome back. So we will start the detailing in this chapter in the end part of our Mandela, the way in which I am drawing, currently drawing the lines and dots. So this part is also where the florals or that. So we don't want to create a messed up loop. So it is better when you are drawing the florals in accordance with your medulla, please keep the border layout as simple as you can because the shading part in the florals will go over part the outer layer of the Mandela. Okay. So now I am drawing the double outline of the whole floral composition and a fine liner that I am using it as 0.3 m. Okay, so once it is done, we will start the shading process. So now we will start the shading process enough fluid or layout. So I would like to recommend my previous class, the Yin and Yang floral Mandela class, which I have taught in a detail way about the shading process and different floral compositions so that the class will definitely help you out. So I'll suggest before attempting this one, please have a look on that class. It will definitely be a great help menu when it comes to shading and floral compositions. You can also incorporate different kinds of food dude lingers and tangled patterns in your layout. Again. So like here in this Omby bad thing, I am just adding some freehand doodles on swells and leaves. That's it. Okay, So you can make it different in your own way. And this floral composition, I have used line illustration method for two times. So in line illustration method we basically use lines to fill up this space. We use different kinds of line patterns, like some streets are my horizontals and verticals. So that's completely fine. In, in here. I will be using just straight lines to fill up that leaf part. Right now. I am just shading this Florida and once it is done, I will do the line illustration. Okay, So here's the part where I was talking about the line illustration. As you can see, I am using just simple lines, nothing else, nothing shading to fill up that leaf. Okay, so it is one of the techniques that you can use in your floral composition. Like you can create some shading patterns and you can create some line illustration leaves, so it will give more depth to your composition, okay? So here again, I'm using the line illustration technique and I have added a chapter about this Langley line illustration in this class. So do check it out in the project section. You'll love it. There are many different ways to apply this technique. Okay. Now we are done with the shading part in the complete Florida law illustration. And I'm going to use a bullet tip Posca marker to do the bold outline of the whole floral composition. So advanced, that will complete. It will give you a 3D look and add $1, almost complete. And I hope you guys have enjoyed the session and definitely learn something new out of it. 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. It really means a lot. Thank you.
