1. Introduction to The Class: Hello everyone and welcome back to the intricate or a treatment Darla b2. And this we will be learning octagon Mandela and the CDF live in Bozeman. Hindus Mandela's or sacred objects that represent both the universe and a person's quiz for enlightenment. The central foreign Mandela symbolizes a palace and the shapes surrounding it are a source of production. Each year symbolizes a quality like compassion or devotion that one must obtain before accessing the palace. This sense, Mondelez, represent journey of life and the part toward presumes and self actualization. Studies shows that making Mandela might actually decrease anxiety and guide us into a meditative state. Let's start healing in meditation, journey to mandalas. 2. Know our Art Supplies: Hello, I'm driven serverless. Know the answer means that we need, in order to create a beautiful Mandela's, we needed ten tip marker. You can choose any of the variant that sublevel a campus and a pencil to find liners 010 to one ruler. It is. I have a sketchbook of 140 GSM, but you can take any paper that is a level with you, a green marker and one set of colors and a brand and a brush on number two, that's it. 3. Pattern Exercise: Hello everyone and welcome back to the pattern exercise. In this exercise we'll be practicing some random freehand pattern that I'll be using in my boot of the Mandela classes. So let's get started. So first one is the lotus, that is the important part of our octagon, Mandela. And if you're not comfortable to draw it, It's straightforward. Live with fine liner, pencil first, and then start doing the inking. The second important element is the way I am doing so just practice it 23 times until you get used to all of the moments of this pattern. The next is almost complete. Let's move on to the next ship TO once I finish it. Thank you. 4. Creating layout of Octagon Mandala: Hello everyone and welcome back to Let's start this session by drawing a circle of seven centimeter diameter. And once it is done, we'll draw two lines intersecting each other at the central part of the circle. We are going to buy sick the 90 degree and the law of all four quadrant and 45 degrees angle, like the way I am doing. Once it is done, we'll proceed further. Draw lines from center to the 45-degree affect. One's being joined all the 45-degree Xofigo to the center. Now we'll create four segments of geometrical shapes inside on $1. I mean, you just have to follow the lead. Now I'm going to draw a circle in the innermost quiet, touching the edges of repeat the same process. We'll create a hamster good touching the edges of this quiet and all the four segments. And after that, we'll start adding details to our mandala. Let's NC, double line. I'd finally out of the medulla in It's a drug tumours goes on the edge or farm and Darla and GAAP is 0.5 centimeter. You can also take one Sandy we don't depends on the design that you are going to create. I'm going to create some broader patterns for that 0.5 centimeters is perfectly alright. Once it has done, we will draw two more circles and sign a small circle off or squat. And the gap that I will be keeping it the same, 1.5 centimeters. Almost done solving the next shift. 5. Adding First Layer of Details: Hello everyone and welcome back to another chapter of our intricate geometric Mandela class. In this, we will be start doing the deals in details in our Mandela. And if you're not comfortable drawing it straightforwardly with the fine liner, what you can do is you can draw the pattern leg I'm drawing first with the help of a mechanical pencil. So it won't smudge on the page. And once it is done, we'll start doing the details. And these patterns are also available in the project section. So don't forget to check the project section before starting in practicing these patterns. Thank you. Dealing of the half part of amygdala is almost done. We're going to repeat the same. Speed up the process a bit. Detailing is almost done in the past. Bob and dada. See you guys in the next shift. 6. Completing the Other Half of Mandala: Hi everyone and welcome back to the another session of adding the glucose to our Mandela. In the beginning I have speed of the process because we are doing the same ideals. And once this similarly deals are done, we will resume to the normal speed. Dealing in our mandala is almost complete, and only the last two layers on the edge of our Madonna are remaining. Completing them dot in the next shift. Thank you. 7. Adding the last layer: Hello everyone and welcome back to the last chapter of our integral geometric Mandela class. And in this we'll be doing the outermost two girls, and we'll be using simple border patterns. This, let's start adding our paddles and the outer two circles. And once we'll draws few of them, I'm going to speed up the process as is gonna be the repeated same process till the end.

Lets create the layout of Seed of Life: Hello everyone and welcome back to the second chapter of intricate geometric Mandela class. This will be creating a seed of life. So first we have to draw a circle with four centimeter of diameter. So now please your campus on the circumference flesh circuit and draw a circle with the same time. Now we'll please our campus on the intersecting point of the circles and we will repeat the same process. We have to draw circles on the intersecting point in the whole circumference like the way I am doing. Now, we have completed the roughly out of a mandala, so we will start inking it. Use your fine liner in your campus and start drawing the circle on the intersecting point of the main circumference. Once it is done, we will start doing the double line of our layout. Draw one more circle to give space for our broader patterns. And this I'm drawing the gap of 0.5 centimeter. I'm again gonna draw the circle. A gap of 0.7 centimeter will repeat the same process. We draw the same cell goes and all the sections and we'll double line it. Our layout is almost complete, so let's move on to the next chapter. 9. Lets Add some Colors: Hello everyone, and let's start adding some color to our layout and the color that I'm gonna use it. So crimson, red. And I'll be using lemon, yellow and permanent orange I mix of board. You can choose either these colors or you can use any of the colors you like of your choice. So let's start painting. You will have to make sure the color that you are preparing It should be off. Perfect consistency. It should not be very liquid already take, because in either of the ways, it will look patchy once it will try. So just prepare your color forehand or if you want, you can also use watercolor inks and that are quite handy to work with. Okay. Branding is almost done if you don't fly. Let's move on to the next chapter of detailing the mandala. 10. Inking the Mandala: Hello everyone and welcome to the third part of our inking the Mandela.
