Hey there!

I am Kirti, a self taught artist and a creator based in Rajasthan, India. I love to try new mediums. This past year, I explored many different mediums but Gouache and Watercolour happens to be my favourite.

Since childhood, I have been inclined towards Art. I started drawing Mandalas two years back and there has been no looking back ever since. When I observe Nature around me, I want to put everything on paper.

Thank You for joining me in this journey.

1. Hello there!: Hi, I'm Keith cinema. I'm a watercolor and Mandela test. Welcome to my first class on Skillshare. In this class, I will teach you some Mandela patterns and how to grow a simple Mandela. I hope you will like this glass. 2. Tools Required: Let's talk about the materials we will need for this class. Here I have a 100 GSM paper. I also go extra sheets on which island show some patterns. I created square grid on this for me. Then need pencils. I suggest you use light pencils such as virtual theater, sign line on the black gel pen. I have used glocal blend gel pen in this class. It is. And the sharpness. Here, we'll need a compass that can hold a pen. You can use any one of these. 3. Basic Shapes: We will start with the lung. You can use a light pencil, you can use C-H bonds and other gouache. Then trace it with a pen. You can make small changes back down. Here, I think looks with the same shape. Apart from these, you can also draw horizontal or slant lines in the shapes. I'm marking the size of five centimeter. Runtime Demeter. The next button. You can change the size of the circles as per your need. Any other shapes that will look good? D shapes I'm drying. You can use these patterns and just slowly move this. You can find this sheet in the project section. Guns we most commonly use, and then join them. And the perfect symmetry. The last shape is the semicircle shape. The shapes also, you can find them online, on Google or on Instagram. I hope this was helpful. See you in the next lesson. 4. Filling Patterns: Hello, welcome back. In this lesson we will fill in a Python string made in last class. I always round up, allow clients to meet the peloton, look clean. The very first pattern we're going to meet is simple packaging. Start by drawing a tiny circle in the middle and then draw petals and ionic. Use a pencil if you cannot go directly with the pen. Fills us basis in-between the Pericles Fund. The second one, memory draw a curve in the middle part of the petal. Draw some ten lines in the lower part. Or you can fill it directly and draw some small petals and the outer part backend a similar shape as your logline in a small size. Fell it and cover it with a double outline. In dropout dose, like we did in the last one. The spaces in between the factors could give it a nice look. And this time, I'm not outlining the petal to give an idea how it will look. Start by drawing a circle in the upper part and then got more symmetrical spinal shape again. And then go back those like we did before. For this extra space left. 5. Extra Shapes: Hello, We learned some basic shapes, patterns, and last video. In this lesson, I will tell you some extra shapes. Most common learning technique is like this. This is the easiest technique for someone who just started trying. All the shapes and backends and they end up making seen patents are lower. In this lesson, I will tell you how you can get different patterns without having to remember. In the same place this spiral shape. Fill that with black pen and do the same with the semicircle. So like this, you can make small changes in the basic shapes and draw MD battles and make a small stroke inside them. And the last one is a single stroke and put a dot at the end of the stroke. Some extra patterns you can use as fillers are layered partners. First, well, beautiful. Symmetrical pays lease. And the last one. And join them as the initial layer. These were some tips and shapes. To me when I learned something new. I hope this helped you. See you in the next lesson. 6. Creating A Grid: Hello, Welcome back. In the past few lessons we learned to Mandela shapes and patterns. In this video, I will show you how you can create a group for the Mandela's. Draw a straight line on the people with the help of schema. Markup lying on the line. Now. And put it like so that it doesn't just above the monkey. Take your pencil and mark binds at 10 degrees. Wanting you to keep in mind while doing the clip, you should use a light pencil. This Mandela, I'm not having specific measurements like marking off the page. I'm keeping a fixed size from a Nala Nala degree angle between that. Connect these points with sand. I hope it does. It will look like this. On one centimeter. Draw another circle of slightly, we go there it is. Again, draw a circle. Keep this radius is 1.5 centimeters this time. Here, I'm lightly sketching the patents so I can mark for the circles. If you add a beginner, then always decide the patents first. Nmac Douglas accordingly. Now I will create bigger circles. And just putting my pencil at the tip of each bag down dead. I heard Martin, while keeping the needle edge center point. You can see how I am drawing circles of different radii. I hope this lesson was helpful. 8. Outline: Hello again. In this video, we will be outlining the sketch with a pen. Slowly trace the sketch so it wouldn't be messed up. In the same way. All the petals and chips. If you don't have any practice pencil sketch ready slowly to avoid messing that up. The sketching part of our Mandela. In the next lesson, we will be drawing the better. 9. Double Outline: In this lesson, I will redouble outlining the Vandellas. When we double outline, it gives us a need and a beautiful look. First, draw with pencil. It will give you an idea how much space should remain between the two layers are two outlines. Draw outline on a single patterns on each layer. Like I'm doing. I am drawing. It gets for similar length of petals. Draw circles like we did in the last lesson. Pencil. And now I'm tracing the pencil sketch with Ben. All the patterns driving the remaining patterns with Ben. But you'll get a first draw all the patterns with pencil and creates it later with pen as I've shown you. The layout often Mandela isn't already. 10. Patterns: Hello. Today we will drop items further, Mandela. When you knew it can be a bit complicated to draw patterns that match with each other perfectly. First draw with pencil to get an idea of how all these will look together. I hope the patterns and visible to you. Let's have a closer look. Okay. 11. Patterns Part 2: Let's start. You can draw with pencil in every petal or you can use paint. The first layer, I'm filling it carefully, draw the outline. You can see the patterns clearly here. The second layer is a simple one. Just draw a stroke in their way back. When you fill patterns, always note that there should be a balance between the layers. If you'll fill in one layer with black mostly, then try to leave whitespaces and next layer, so there will be a suitable contrast. Goes third layer, draw a circle, empty petals. Carefully fill the extra space while drawing the petals. Don't feel like going directly with Ben Dan first draw with pencil. The next. Draw a center line, then sidelines like window and leaves. Moving on to the next layer. The same pattern. I am, smart triangle and then petals likely replaced with triangle. And then draw petals around it. Now for the last live. And then put in whatever base list, then dropped by two-thirds. This one is a little complex. I will recommend you to use pencil. Mandela is almost done. 12. Final Details and Final Thoughts: Welcome back. This is the last part of our class. Grades the shape drawn by pencil. Filter that stuff's piece with black. If I don't like the shape, you can also go a small flood in-between the circuit. Now take it is, it is the pencil marks. It is completely done. Thank you for joining my first glass.
