Mandala Mania,


Mandalas have always intrigued me, and now they are creeping into my Zentangles. This one was taken from a free coloring page, and I added the tangles, the color and the shading. I’m trying to figure out an accurate way to draw them from scratch.

I think they are going to be a little like the “potato chip” thing, you can’t do just one.

  4. One of the things that I have done is to create templates for my mandalas and then using Velumn to draw the actual Zendala. I have to leave extra space on the sides of the Zendala, though, because I might want to mount it, and with velumn, it is easier to make a frame over the extra than to try to glue or pin it on another foundation.

    Love your Zendala.
