About This Class

Hello Everyone,

Welcome back, Today I welcome you all in another amazing skillshare class of mine, "Peacock Mandalas - Step by Step Process". 

The peacocks are symbolic of re-growth and rejuvenation, royalty, respect, honor, and integrity. They are also a symbol of beauty, love, and passion. In Hinduism and Buddhism, these birds are considered to be sacred and worshipped alongside their deities.

In this class we'll learn how to incorporate the concept of beautiful peacock in harmony with Mandalas. These mandalas are taught in easy step by step process. You'll be learning how to create these majestic creatures in easy way. I'll also be sharing two different references for your artistic creations.

I've uploaded the reference pictures of the both mandalas & two more free images as reference for your work.  These are royalty free pictures that you can use in your work.

Mandela's peacock are symbolic of regrowth, royalty, respect, and integrity. And today we are going to incorporate this beautiful concepts and I'm a dollar art and I hope you guys will enjoy this session and learn something new out of it. So let's, without any delay, let's get started with our beautiful peacock Mandela's. Thank you guys. 2. Art Supplies: Hello everyone and welcome back. So let's know the supplies that we need in order to create our beautiful mandalas. We need fine liners, 010 to a lighter shade of pencil. Eraser. A campus that can hold a pen and pencil, both ruler and predictor, and one, a full-size sketchbook, order sheets, whatever you have. So this is a first project of a peacock Mandela class that we will be creating and it's astonishingly beautiful. This is the second project that we will be doing in our class and I will be letting you know how to do it in a detailed process. Thank you. 3. Peacock Mandala-Grid Layout: Hello everyone and welcome back in our peacock mentality class. So let me tell you a bit about the layout. This is the layout that we will be drawing. And we need this circle, circular predictor to clear these arcs that I have created, these lines I have created only with the help of this predictor. For this class. You need to have this predictor. If you don't have them, it's fine, you can draw it freehand Lee and rest of the layout I have done friendly without any delay. Let's move on to the creating of our layout. Let's start creating our layout. Okay, so I'm going to draw the first arc of our peacock. And I'm going to use these ones so goals to create its face. It is, makes sure it is just a joining to the line that you have just drawn with the help of the predictor. Now please, you predict a slightly angle with the like the VIM doing, and then create the second line to create the neck of our peacock. So just make sure that you just round the edges once you are doing it. Let's create another federal of beautiful began with the help of our own predictor. Getting slightly curvy like the way I am doing on the end of our federal. And don't forget to erase all the extra lines and give it a final touch. Now let's draw the lower body, body of a peacock. Make sure you are drawing it with a very light hand. And once when you will erase the pencil marks, it won't leave any traces on our paper. Now let's shore the long feathers off our beautiful p gawk, and it will be totally free hand saw and suggests that do practice your layout from the project section, I will be uploading this layout in the project section. So you can easily drag this as twice or tries before doing the final layout. Okay. I'm using 08 fine liner to draw the outline of our layout and make sure you are drawing it with a very light and steady hands so that your layout will have more Phenice and beautiful look. I'm using my 0 it finance outline to our layout. The outline has been done now we will create a small Mandela in our fed up. This is the only small Mandela that we'll be creating in our peacock green stuff. All the details are freehand, including this Mandela, under the buttons that I have chosen for this artwork are very simple, so you can easily do that with a bit of practice. The first part of our layout designing is complete. So let's move on to the next chapter. 4. Peacock Mandala- Adding Details: Hello everyone, welcome back, and let's start detailing in our mandala that we have created in the feather. And apart from this Mandela rest of the details event, the details in this Mandela are also free hand because I am not going to use any grid. But if you've worn for your own comfort level, you can also do the grid, but apart from this, the rest of the details will be freehand. So what do I suggest that if you're not completely comfortable drawing it straight with the band, what you can do is you can draw your details before hand with the help of a light pencil. Then what you can do is you can then just incur the deals with the help of the fine liners again, and I hope you find this useful. I'm creating a double outline, so the same reason the details won't look messy. Okay? The details that I'm creating here, I am doing it straight with the help of a fine liner. And if you're not comfortable drawing it straight with the fine liner, as I have told you earlier, you can draw with the help of a light chain pencil and then you can ink it. In this chapter. I won't be doing any fast-forward to the chapters because all the details I am, what I'm doing, they are non-repetitive. So I am going enough floor and if you feel it's going too fast or you're not comfortable, what you can do is you can also reduce the speed of the video according to yourself. Dan, for this session. So let's move on to the next one. 5. Peacock Mandala Adding Details 2: Hello everyone and welcome back. So let's start adding the details to our mandala. Suggest a pro tip when you are doing the intricate details, trying to use your 01 fine liners so the details will be crisp and sharp. I always prefer to use a ruler whenever I'm doing the straight line and thoughts. So the deals are very close pin sharp, and it looks very nice in that week. Now let's start adding the details. And the outline that I'm doing. It's now it does with 0.2 fine liner. Do fill up the details. I will be using 01 fine liner. Almost done in this part off I've got Mandela. So let's move on to the next step. We will be filling up the details in the other parts. 6. Peacock Mandala-Final Details: Hello everyone and welcome back to the detailing session. And I'm going to start detailing by 0.2 nib size. Okay, so let's start doing the outline and afterwards we will. So now let's start adding details. And the other one are the Veda. And we're going to repeat the same patterns that we have that we have done till now. Okay, so once it is Zan, we will start outlying, outlining and detailing the other feathers, the one that is going through the tail. And in those feathers we will repeat the details and we will fast forward the process at that point of time. And added willing partners on was done. So now we're gonna do a little bit of stippling in the face of a peacock. So just to give it some contrast highlights that the K and I hope you guys have enjoyed the session. 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 and see you guys in the next session. Thank you. 7. Royal Peacock Mandala-layout: Hello everyone and welcome back. Today we are going to create another oil, Mandela peacock. Okay, so let's start building the layout for our Mandela and for some curves. And like the swings, I'm going to use one side, the round side of the heart predictor. Okay? And for face, I'm going to use the round predictor, right? So if you don't have down predictor, then it's completely fine. You can draw it freehand. Or what you can do is you can use your campus also. Okay, so make sure whenever you are just drawing the layout, use the light shade pencil so it won't leave any mark once your layout is complete and you will remove the pencil marks. It shouldn't be dark on the page. Okay. So the length of this line is 5.5 centimeter, okay? And I'm going to draw another line with a gap of one centimeter. Okay? And then we are going to draw a curved shape with a gap of 0.5 centimeter. So the length of this arc that I have drawn for the pillar, it is 3.5 or you can take more than it if you want. It's not mandatory to follow the same measurements. It is just that to give you an idea how I'm doing. And on the bottom part of the pillar, we're going to repeat the same measurements that we have done on the above five, that is 5.5 centimeter. Okay. So now I Leo does complete and I'm going to use 0.5 fine liner to draw the outline of a peacock Bundler. Okay, so the template of this Mandela, I will be uploading in the project section so you can replicate it for further drawing process when you will be drawing the Mandela so you can take the reference from that template. Okay, So once it is done, we will move on to the detailing part of our Mandela. 8. Royal Peacock Mandala- Adding Details: Welcome back everyone. So let's start adding the details and pick up Mandela. And I am using 0.1 fine liner to add the details. Okay, So first what we're gonna do, we're gonna do the double line off the whole Mandela layout. And once it is done, we will start adding the details. So most of the patterns and this Mandela, I'll freehand. Okay, So if you're not comfortable drawing straight with the help of the fine liner, what you can do is you can also just create your layout with the help of a light pencil and then afterwards you can ink it. Okay. Like here, I am drawing the guidelines for the details in this section of our Mandela with the help of a light pencil. Okay, so this is just because to avoid the messiness that we can do, I'll be creating the lines are the sections for our Mandela. Okay, so now let's start adding the details in the sections that we have created in this particular part of our Mandela. So now let's start adding the details to the next feather. Okay, so as you can see that I am just doing the double outline of the feathers and one cell completed. I'll draw the sections to fill up the details and amygdala. So in the mid section of this feather, we're going to do the shading. And I have also mentioned in the technique section how to do the shading effect in our Mandela. Okay? So if you don't know how to do is please report to the technique section pose, and then start doing the shading part. To use the pencil to draw the sections. It is that just to avoid any unwanted mistakes that we can do while we're doing the inking of $1. So for me it's more about like creating the symmetrical patterns with the help of a pencil and then starting can get. So it gives me more precise and funny's detail. In our Mendota. The sketching part is done in both the feathers. So let's move on to the next spot in the next chapter. 9. Royal Peacock Mandala Final Details & Thank You: Hello everyone and welcome back. So let's start adding the details in our fader. So I'm going to use 0.2 fine liner to add the details. And please make sure that you draw the guidelines of the feather beforehand before you start inking it, okay? While you are adding details to your pickup Mandela, make sure you are taking your own time to do it because don't try to do it in a single stretch. It will strain you're out and take your time in completing and enjoyed the process while you are creating this Mandela. So let's start with dealing in this small feather. And we're going to repeat the same patterns that we have done in the, are those small one. Okay, so let's get started. Hello, Let's move on to this one. And I have draw the guidelines or with the help of a pencil before starting getting it. So just make sure you follow this process because it will avoid any unnecessary mistakes or messiness that we can have while creating the lines. Okay, so once it is done, the guidelines, then we'll move on to the next file, the detailing one. Okay. So to add the intricate details, or we can say my new details use 0.1 fine liner to do so. Again. So for this fall pedals, the process will be the same that we have repeated in the previous two. Okay? So whenever you are adding details to your Mandela's, you can always, always improvise. A kid's not necessarily to follow the same pattern. So desires. You can always change them as per your preference, and that's where the creativity kicks in. Okay, The main purpose of this class is to let you know how we draw the figures for such Mandela's and how we add details. So it's perfectly fine. And it's really good when you are improvising in your work, okay. In the feed of the peacock will be doing some stippling. And once it is done, we will move on to the pillar where the peacock is sitting, so we'll start adding details in that. Okay. I will not lie is complete and I hope you guys have enjoyed the session.
