1. Introduction: Our brains may be
tapped into devoid of self-esteem and dog reduce. But when it comes
to the love we have for drying and its many
forms still remains. My name is Mercury
and Emma Mundell, artist and a YouTuber. I've been making
Mandela portraits in the last eight years. I find Mondelez extremely
satisfying to draw and color. In this course, we are going
to learn Monday light, which is fusional Hoffman Donna, and how five-step
butterfly design. Let's go briefly through
the flow of this course. First, we will practice
to basic shapes and patterns which is required
for our final project. Then we will move on to
creating a perfect grid as per our finder Mandela
design. Than we did. We will start drawing
our Mondelez. Starting with drawing
half Mandela and half butterfly design
using black fine liner. Then coloring our
final Mandela design using simple techniques. Encourage you to be creative and experimental in this course. And I'm here to guide
you in this journey and show you the techniques and
my favorite ways to do it. I've created free
downloadable worksheets to help you with your art. This printable PDF contents, the steps involved in
grid making and Mandela. You don't need any
drawing experience to take this course. Just an interesting
learning will make you learn things
as you do them. I'm really looking forward
for you to join this course. The button, be creative
and experienced. The benefits of drawing
Mandela's yourself.
2. Material Required: What material you need
for this whole course. You can get these tools easily. Stationary stores, skin, Benson, protractors, grind concise. Here I'm using a
stateless come fast. You can also use any other
kind of simple compass. Black fine liner. There are various brands you can try like steadily art line, Sharpie microphone, whichever
fine liner is available. You can use it for your Monday. You can draw them on della
with pencil if you want. But dark markers make the patents cleaner
and more definite. A benzyl had someone said in 18, we'll never know when the line
is done with a marker pen. You have a sense of stability and the line seems more clear. Let's see which color we
can use for our Mandela. These are, Oh my goodness, this particular pad content
hundred different shapes. You tend to do a team
brush tip and fine liner. I will be using these
markers for our Mandela. There are many other brands you can try as part of an ability, like copy, Sharpie,
stirred letters, etc. Next, up, grind pepper. Use it on hundred to
300 GSM drying paper. Gsm stands for grams
per square meter. It defines the quality of paper.
3. Pattern Making: Through practice
gently and gradually, we can collect ourselves and learn how to be more
fully with what we do. We are going to do the
same thing in this class. You'll be practicing this very basic petal
shapes which will be helpful for your Mandela for
drying this petal designs, I suggest you should consider using the grid paper from any of the notebook so that you can work on similar trick
and perfect patterns. Was dry, simple drug
structure in each block. Do not rush by
drawing these petals. Guide to draw a
single smooth stroke. Second, when simple curve. Mandela artist use this shape
a lot in their artworks. Next step, spirals.
Despite this, might seem a little
difficult to draw it first. But once you practice this, you can use it in various ways. We will practice some
variations of it as well. We don't have to use
this pattern size it is. You can experiment with
different shapes and create your own patterns with
which you're comfortable. Drawing these petals
for practice has helped me immensely
pour my artworks. This practice reflects when you start growing anymore Dillard. You don't really
have to think of the design before you start
drawing game and Della, it will just add to
come to you once you have created your
own pattern designs. And you'll be able
to draw beautiful and intricate
Mandela's of your own. We're practicing this shapes in the same order as we will be
using in our final project. Let's go on to
practicing the curves. Whenever I'm teaching
$1 to my students, they referred to these
common difficulty. They have been drying
patterns for Monday lab that they are able to draw one set of petrol correctly
but not the other. So practicing it separately. This helps a lot when you're working on a big
Mandela project. Drying this petal, this is
a very versatile technique. You can make it wider or thinner and add more
curves, straight line. And it will still look amazing.
4. Grid Making: Mandela grid is
something myself and many other artists use as a
template for our creations. In this tutorial,
you will see how easy it is to create
beautiful Mondelez. Have a sense of
symmetry and balance. Let's start drawing. Here. I've taken a
full-size drawing paper. Now step one is to find two
midpoints for semi-circles. For that measure the
length of paper and mark two points in the
middle with a gap of 1 cm, the same port opposite side. Now, draw lines
through those points. My descender of remaining two sites and draw a line
through those points as well. Highlight the two centers. From each point
using your compass, draw semicircle of
radius 9.5 centimeter. When to have the midpoint
and outer circle to work in. Place your protractor
over one of the point and Mark angularity regions with
the gap of ten degrees. New Deal either side, blank to work on abstracts and flour. Bless this scale and draw lines through those
points we just mine. And the center point, as shown in the video. So that you will get
18 equal partitions of one semi-circle. Using a compass. Draw several more circles
with the gap of around 1 cm or refuel want vary the size of each circle to create
an interesting button. Here we will draw 12
semicircle is for our Mandela. Our Mandela grid is ready. Hope you understood
the whole process.
5. Drawing Mandala: Drawing your own Mandela designs requires no artistic background. I tell my students if you can print your name
and the alphabet, you can dry Mandela. Use the same lines and
shapes, vertical, horizontal, diagonal, where we draw the Mandela free hand
or within the grid. Now that you have
learned to draw grid in our previous lesson, we will move on to drawing part. Use black fine liner to
draw these basic structure. We will fill it with
colors in next lesson. Let's start with the
Mandela part first. The innermost set of COVID,
simple floral shape. Add some lines and dots in it. Now 2-3, draw simple colors
and spiders inside it. Draw this better from
third to fifth layer off your Mandela will add thicker
patents in it for detailing small circles to fail
the leftover area. Mandela that looks complicated, is often constructed using
simple and basic shapes. Therefore, go ahead
and keep trying. Mondelez are always constructed according to the same principle. The form always has a clearly defined center with movement happening
around the center. And the design is
based on the center. You can draw from outside
to inside and vice versa. Mainly be modifying
the procedure from inside to outside easier. Give making patents and
filling the gap between the previously drawn patterns using different
shapes and designs. This is what makes Mandela
look like more intricate, even though we are
using simple shapes. The placement of shapes and detailing makes it more complex. Now from circle seven to eight, drop it there with insert
border and leafy lines in it. Even though we are using
same shapes for each layers, the detailing inside it is what makes each layer
look different. If you see us part
that looks too empty, you can go back in later and
add more lines and patterns. Don't think about how it's
going to look when you finish or how people will
react when they see it. Don't make it about
yourself and don't treat it as a taste of
your drawing skill. Let them take you around each circle and let the Mandela
become your whole world. For now. There is
no good or bad. Does the rhythm,
lines and contrast. Working your way outward using the circles and lines
as your markers. This helps keep the
symmetry in your Mandela. Just keep trying
the same shape in each way and working outward every time you
complete a full circle. Drawing Mandela's is more fun and rewarding than
you probably think. The reserves are probably
better than what you expect. Whether you think you have
no drawing skill set. You are a seasoned sketch it. Once you kept drying
more Mondelez, you will come up
with your own shapes and designs to make them, and you will draw them faster. Eventually, you're
going to develop your own style of
creating Mondelez. You can also try making them freehand once you
gain the confidence. You can also create Mondelez
with watercolors or create watercolor background
syndrome Mondelez on them. Growing your Mandela is
not rocket science at all. All you need to do
is keep trying. Start with something small
and keep progressing. You will be amazed at your own progress as you
keep working on your skin. Experiment with different
styles, types of Mondelez. Don't restrict yourself
to the distributor, to drying of Mondelez. Now, it is the extra pencil
lines or neat and clean. Mandela. Moving on to the butterfly drawing in the
remaining half semicircle. Because separate small
sheet to practice this shape before drying
it on your final design. Draw the body and head
of the butterfly first. Draw curved lines
starting distended the head and going to
the upper left corner. Then drawing the
inverted curved line that starts at the
bottom of the body. Burnett the wings by drawing a wavy lines that goes
diagonally inward. Now draw lattice loops on
the inside of the ring, staring at the top, and then draw loops on the
bottom part of the Rings. This step may take a few practice sketches with your pencil before
you get to try it. Draw the body and head of the butterfly in the center
of the vertical line. Draw lightly with pencil first on this sheet
of drawing paper. You may need to
scale the lines few times before you
get the desert one. So have a good eraser too. Dry and dinner on the head. Then the upper and lower wing draw loops inside the rings. Now at the top and the
bottom add half-lives. I had some good reminder,
circles and loose. I don't butterfly feeling
the whole semicircle. I liked it with black 0.9. Draw straight
vertical lines with my request to divide
the two parts. Now to make the butterfly
Loop more bold and clean, we will highlight it
with more black color. Some edges also give
some lines tint. Drawing by this complete. In the next lesson, we will color our Mandela with interesting
color combinations.
6. Coloring Mandala: Mandela coloring is an activity
that has been around for some time but is now growing in popularity with
the mainstream. It all starts with picking a color scheme and
sticking to it. You may be tempted to be spontaneous and grab as
many colors as you like. But the thing is less
release more and limiting your colors can make your Mandela more
balanced and symmetrical. Here, I will be using 0 markers
for coloring our Mandela. Brush tip markers make
excellent tools for drawing. I'm using combination
of gray, blue, and yellow for both Mandela
and butterfly design. First one is gray. Then light and dark
shade of aqua blue. Keep a separate sheet
of the same type of paper you are
working on next to you. So you can test colors first before laying them
down on your artwork. Nash to share mustard color. Let's start coloring
the butterfly first. Starting with beings use the light shade of blue
to fill the loops. When coloring with markers is best to use mall even strokes. Tried to leave lots
of space between your hand holding the
market and your paper. Make sure your strokes are all moving in the
same direction. We don't want to use
back-and-forth motion, but ensuring all your
strokes go the same way, we'll give you a
nice even color. Use aqua blue to
highlight the edges. Using markers for drawing
and coloring is so much fun. That easy to use come in more colors than
you can imagine. That is not a lot of preparation
involved in using them. Just pick one and get started. Remaining area of
butterfly use gray color. Different brands of markers
will behave differently. So try to use different types of markers that are out there. And the different types
of needs that they have. Different tips are good for different styles and techniques. It's good to scratch piece
of paper and try coloring in some squares to get a feel for how the
different names, e.g. find point, golfer close
lines and details. Steep. Golfer spreading ink smoothly and manner similar
to watercolor. Like stipple. Brush
softer lines. Broad. Goal for
large area coverage. Now for leaves
color alternatively with light and dark
shade of mustard. The best way to get
even coverage and grievance tricks these
two colors slowly. Unless you're going for a particular look and want
the markers strokes to show. From light to dark. Start light. You can always add more
color and go darker. But you can't go
the opposite way. Coloring the lightest
shades first, then build them darker colors. Try to plan out
highlights in advance and know which areas you're
going to keep quiet. Make saturation points while coloring with thicker markers, you may notice lines in
your miracles strokes, light small strokes will help elevate this effect and
minimize your lines. You can also use
a blender marker to smooth out these
tricks in color. Gender marker decided
thick, colorless, alcohol-based markers that helps out fully blurry outlines, as well as create
certain effects. Now that we're done with
coloring butterfly, which was comparatively simple, we'll now move on to
coloring Mandela. Use gray color for
first two layers. A little bisections. Another approach to coloring Mandela's is working
by sections. Seen a similar nella usually has 46 or eight
symmetrical sections. You can feel a section
with different color. Try experimenting
with the variety of possible color combinations to see which works best for you. Don't Fear by many, assume that you need to color in all the details of the
Mandela to complete it. The thing is you don't have to feel all the
whitespaces with polar. Leaving some areas
out is perfectly fine and makes the
Mandela more open. And let's use colors layer wise and then add
details using gray color. After two layers of gray, use light and dark shade of
blue for next three layers, and mustard for last two layers. When our lives went
stone to nature, makes it always gives
us best color schemes. Or Liao to do is get out
there and take note. You can take a walk through your neighborhood and
also the colors you see. You can also pick
a bouquet of fresh lower and use it as
your color inspiration. Yes. Normally say you can only use a specific coloring
tool for your Mandela. Gel pens, colored pencils, watercolor brush pens, and markers can all be
used for coloring. But because most Mandela designs are very detailed and intricate, mainly artist you
in jail paints and color pencils since they
are verifying points. Layering colors using the light that is good to over saturate your paper using small
strokes and leaving lots of white space will allow
you to mix in more colors, fit these to create your own unique effect
using a blender marker by layering colors will
also help you get a nice even look and help create
some cool effects. Don't be afraid to
play with colors. When you start to
fill in an area, you will push one to block
in light base color. Using minor courtesies
similar to painting, we can lay down codes to get darker version of
the same color. As you add more or
less to an area, you can start adding
shadow and highlights. And even blend colors together to create
a sense of depth. Want to go into all the details. This is simply an
introductory tutorial, but there is lot of cool marker techniques
you can use here. Our Mandela design is complete. I hope you liked seeing
this Mandela take shape. And I hope it gives you
much to try drawing when you start small, start simple. Experiment with shapes and
colors and let it be fun and relaxing and refueled after other ideas for simple
ways to draw mandalas. Go ahead and try it.
