1. INTRO: Everyone. I'm Swami
Mahesh Kulkarni, and welcome to my class. I'm an artist, singer, an art educator, and
a graphic designer. Ton Skilcher I have uploaded many classes related
to Mandala art, and today I'm here
again with a new class. In this class, we'll be exploring how to
use common objects, whether it's a cup, a flower pot, a night lamp and turn them into beautiful intricate
mandala masterpieces. We'll start by sketching
out the basic shapes of these objects and then we'll fill them with mandala
inspired patterns. We are going to mix traditional
elements like circles, petals, and geometric shapes with modern playful
doodle mandala. The idea is to transform
these simple items into pieces of art that reflect your personality
and creativity. What's amazing about mandalas
is that it can be as structured or as free flowing
as you want them to be. We'll learn how to balance symmetry with
creative expression. You will get to experiment
with a variety of shapes, whether it's creating
radial designs, spirals or geometric patterns that fit the unique
form of each object. The best part is that you don't need to worry
about perfection. Mandala designs, especially when applied to everyday objects, allow for a lot of
personal interpretation. So each design will
be unique to you. By the end of this class, you will not only have a deep appreciation for Mandala art, but you will also have the
skills to start looking at everyday objects in
a completely new way. Imagine taking a
simple object you use every day and turning
it into a work of art. It's all about
finding beauty in the ordinary and using
mandalas to add balance, peace, and color to
whatever you create. So grab your supplies, and let's get started
transforming these everyday atoms into something truly extraordinary
with mandala designs. So that's it for
the introduction, and I'll see you in
my first lesson.
2. Material needed: Hello, everyone. To create mandala designs
using color pens, you will need a
white plain pepper, pencil, eraser, and
some color pens.
3. Cup: Hello, everyone, and welcome to the first lesson of Mandala
magic in everyday Things. Today, we are going to create a beautiful Doodle
mandala design inside a cup drawing
using colour pens. We'll begin by sketching
a simple cup shape. You can make it any
type of cup you like, whether it's a
classic coffee mug, a tea cup with a saucer, or even a more modern tumbler. Keep your sketch
light and simple as the real magic
happens when we start adding our Doodle
mandala patterns. Mandalas are circular designs that symbolize
balance and unity. But when you add
doodles to them, you get a free flowing
pattern that's less about strict symmetry and more
about creativity and rhythm. In doodle mandalas, you can mix different shapes
like spirals, dots, floral mandala designs, pointed petals, rounded
petals, some boundaries, and abstract lines to create an intricate yet relaxed look. The key is repeton whether you are repeating
a circular shape, a zigzag, or a leaf design. The repeton creates a
calming, harmonious effect. First, I have created
boundary from inside, draw simple patterns
like concentric circles, dots or tiny petals, rounded petals, pointed petals, some swirl patterns
pad out from there, creating more detailed
shape in layers. I'm also filling
the white space in between using some
small circles, also creating some big
pointed petals in between, and filling those with some rounded petals and some
floral mandala designs. Remember, mandalas
in doodle form don't need to be
perfectly symmetrical. Let your creativity
take the lead. If you're not confident
creating mandala designs, directly using these color pens, you can first draw all
the patterns with pen and then just outline the patterns with any color pen
that you are using. Choose a color palette that
feels right for your cup. Here I have used only
one blue color pen. You might want soft
pestle shades for a calm and soothing wipe or bright bold colors for
a more energetic look. You can use any color pen
you want, as I said before. Color pens are perfect for
this because they give you the control to get into all the tiny details
of the doodles, making each pattern pop As you finish your artwork, you will see how the curve transforms into a stunning
piece of art with all the intricate
mandala doodle design together into a
harmonious design. Doodle mandalas not only add beauty and balance
to your drawings, but they also allow
for creative freedom. There is no right or
wrong way to do it. Just keep building
on your patterns, enjoy the process and let
your creativity flow, whether it's for a sketchbook or a custom gift or
just for relaxation. This Rudel Mandala cup design is sure to brighten
up any space. Save in the next lesson.
4. Flower Vase: Hello, everyone, and welcome to the second lesson of Mandala
magic in everyday Things. Today we are going to create a simple floral vase
drawing and turn it into a stunning piece of
art by filling it with Doodle Mandala
patterns using color pens. Let's start by sketching
the shape of the vase. This can be any kind you like. You can go for a classic vase, a modern cylindrical shape, or even a more
artistic abstract one. Here I'm using green color pen. You can use any
color pen you want. First, I have created
boundary from inside before I start
creating mandala designs. So here I am starting creating mandala designs from the bottom. First, I have used
some swirl patterns, also some rounded petals and creating boundary from
outside each rounded petal. Mm. Mandalas are symbolic patterns often circular that represent balance, harmony, and unity. Traditionally, mandalas
are highly structured with intricate patterns radiating
from a central point. However, when we create
doodle mandalas, we add a more relaxed, free flowing style
to this concept, while a traditional mandala might focus on perfect symmetry. Doodle mandalas give
us the freedom to experiment with a variety
of shapes like spirals, flowers, dometric patterns,
and abstract lines. The goal is to create a
sense of balance and rhythm, but with the freedom to explore different
elements and patterns. Doodle mandalas are meant to
be playful and spontaneous. You can also add a
smaller patterns between the large ones to create
a texture and depth. As you can see, I'm filling up the white space with
some small circles. As you will finish your mandala, you will see how the vast transforms from a simple
object into a beautiful, detailed work of art. Rudel mandalas are so much fun because they combine
the structure of traditional mandalas
with the freedom to experiment and add your
own personal touch, whether you chose to make it colorful and bold
or soft and subtle. This type of art brings peace and creativity
to any space. And the best part, there is no right or
wrong way to do it. Just enjoy the process and
let your creativity flow. So take your time, let each
pattern build on the last, and watch your flower vast, come to life in a whole new way. Save in the next lesson.
5. Handbag: Hello, everyone, and welcome to the third lesson of Mandala
magic in everyday Things. Today we'll be creating
beautiful handbag drawing and fill it with vibrant doodle mandala patterns
using color pens. We'll begin by sketching a simple handbag
outline with a pencil. It can be any shape
you like, rectangular, curved, with a flap, or even a classic tote. Keep the lines light as
we'll be focusing more on what goes inside the handbag
than the shape itself. Once your base sketch is ready, it's time to turn this
simple object into a canvas for inspired
Doodle mandala. So I have created
boundary from inside, and I have started
creating swirl patterns, some rounded petal patterns, and creating boundary
from outside each petal. So as you all know, mandala is a circular symmetrical
design that radiates from a central point often used in spiritual and
cultural traditions to represent balance,
harmony and unity. In this project,
we'll be blending that concept with
doodle Mandala art, keeping the beauty and
reputation of Mandala patterns, but allowing for more creativity and flow within the
handbags shape. Think of this as
a fusion between structured detail and
playful expression. Here I have chosen
purple color pen. Start adding color to your mandala using
these color pens, whether it's bold
and vibrant color, soft and pestle or
earthy and minimal. I'm also filling
the white space in between using purple color pen. As you complete your design, you will see how
something as ordinary as a handbag drawing can become a stunning
piece of Mandala art. This process is not just about decorating an object. It's about slowing down, focusing on each line and
enjoying the creative journey. Mandala Doodling brings
a sense of calm and joy. And when combined
with everyday items, it transforms the ordinary into something truly expressive. So take your time, have
fun with your colors, and remember every line you draw adds to your own
unique masterpiece. See you in the next lesson.
6. Night Lamp: Hello, everyone, and welcome to the fourth lesson of Mandala
magic in everyday Things. Today we'll be creating a
simple night lamp drawing into a stunning piece of art using Doodle
mandala patterns. We'll begin by lightly
sketching a night lamp. This could be a
classic table lamp, a modern bedside light, or even a lantern
style shape lamp. Keep the base and
shed well defined. Give yourself enough space
to explore patterns inside. Once the outline is ready, we dive into the fern part, filling the lamp with intricate and playful
doodle mandala designs. I have created
boundary from inside, as you can see in the video and started creating designs
using swirl patterns, some rounded petals and
some boundary from outside, each rounded petals
and swirl patterns. Doodle Mandala art is a fusion
of structure and freedom. Unlike traditional
mandalas, which are perfectly symmetrical
and centered, Doodle Mandala designs
are more relaxed. They keep the repetitive
layered feel of mandalas, but give you the freedom to play with shape,
direction, and style. The idea is to fill space with patterns that flow and
connect naturally. You can start with a
small circle, petal, or swirl and build outward
using repeating shapes. Think of it like building
a visual rhythm with your pen where each element echoes or complements
the others. You can start from
the center or base. Here I have started from
the bottom corner and let the patterns grow outwards along the shape of the objects. You don't need to follow
strict rules here. Just let your pain
move with ease. If you want, you can
also break the lamp into two different sections and give each part its own set of
doodle Mandala patterns. Here I'm just
following the design. Color pens are perfect
for this kind of art because they allow
for precise detail and vibrant results. If you want, you can also
try layering colors in some areas or leaving certain patterns
uncolord for balance. As you finish your artwork, you will see how the mix of doodle patterns and color
brings your lamb to life. It becomes more than
just an object. It turns into a
canvas of expression filled with moment,
imagination, and personality. Mandala art is meditative
and joyful and drawing it inside real world objects like this night lamp adds
a unique twist. So take your time,
trust your flow, and enjoy every line you draw. Let your creativity shine as bright as the lamp
you are decorating. So in the next lesson,
7. Flowers: Hello, everyone, and welcome to the fifth lesson of Mandala
magic in everyday Things. Today, we are going to create a beautiful floral drawing
with a stem and leaves and then fill the entire piece with intricate and playful mandala
patterns using color pens. We'll begin by sketching
a simple flower. Nothing too detailed. Draw a large flower with
broad petals around center, a long stem, and few
leaves branching out. These are not your
traditional mandalas that are centered and
perfectly symmetrical. Instead, we are going
to create free flowing, playful and often adapted to fit into different
shapes mandala designs. We are going to create
Godle mandala patterns which are free flowing, playful, and often adapted to fit into different shapes like
petals, leaves, or stems. They still have the spirit
of mandalas, reputation, balance, and detail, but with
much more creative freedom. You can create mini mandalas inside each petal or simply fill them with rows of small
repeated elements like swirl patterns, rounded petals, some dots, or you can simply fill up the white space with the
color pen you are using. I'm creating boundary
inside each petal first and then filling the
petal using mandala patterns. Move onto each petal and treat
them like tiny canvases. Fill them with
different patterns. Maybe one has tight spirals, another has pointed or
rounded petal patterns. One has swirl patterns. The key is variety and flow. Don't overthink the design. Just go with your instinct and
enjoy the repetitive mode. This kind of drawing
is only creative but also deeply
meditative and calming. Here I have used dark blue
color for the first flower. For the next floor, I'm going to use red color pen. Whether you hang
it on your wall, use it in your sketchbook or
simply draw for relaxation. This art form always brings
peace and satisfaction. Again, repeating the process, but exploring these Mandala
patterns one by one. As you complete your flower, step back and take in
the transformation. What started as a
simple floral drawing is now a detailed, joyful mandala doodle artwork, full of texture and color. Doodle mandalas teach us
that even in small spaces, there's room for beauty,
balance, and expression. So let your imagination
bloom just like the flower you are drawing
and enjoy every pattern, every stroke, and every pop
of color along the way. See you in the class project.
