Kris and me have a passion for drawing mandalas, so we decided to create a topic about them. Maybe you would like to see some special ones, colourful and interesting ones.

When I was going to a drawing course, we painted a lot of pre-printed mandalas, filled them with colours. I do believe that the colours and forms we used are some kind of mirrors of the person who made them. It's interesting to look deep inside.

Here are the mandalas we made:

Some of them are really beautiful.

I wanted to buy some preprinted mandalas in shop but it was very epensive

So I decided to make some free ones from the beginning.

That's the best you can do, in my opinion. But on more lazy days you can find very nice patterns on the net and simply print them.

Oh, that's very good. Thank You

Thank you, Lucy!

My favourites are the yellow-purple one (top row, fourth from left) which reminds me of a fractal or particle trails in the detector of a collider and numbers 3, 5 and 6 in the bottom row which look very dynamic to me. I'll add the top left one for its herbal look.

Cheers!

Markus

Here's yesterday's work (even though it has stuff around I still consider it as a mandala):

Setting Sun Mandala!

Fractals? That would also worth a topic.

These were the presents we made to each other in the end of the course:

They are so beautiful

I like all of them. Which one is Yours?

Lucy · « **Reply #9 on:** September 12, 2010, 04:39:20 pm »

Guess.

It's signed.

I got the bottom right orange mandala on red paper.

Persephone · « **Reply #10 on:** September 12, 2010, 04:44:59 pm »

That's very nice one

I also like the one above - with the lady - dancing maybe.

Lucy · « **Reply #11 on:** September 12, 2010, 04:48:55 pm »

I think that's a Mucha reproduction - I desperately wanted to get that one.

Persephone · « **Reply #12 on:** September 12, 2010, 04:54:25 pm »

I thought so

From here it looks like an advertisement he made for Moët and Chandon

Persephone · « **Reply #13 on:** September 12, 2010, 04:57:42 pm »

Hmm it's not. Now there's a beetle in my head diggin what is that for painting

Lucy · « **Reply #14 on:** September 12, 2010, 04:59:18 pm »

Maybe that's an image inspired by him. I couldn't find that either.

So, do you have a guess about which one I painted? Two options are already out, it's easier now.

Persephone · « **Reply #15 on:** September 12, 2010, 05:03:39 pm »

I know! The one on white paper which is in a winged square looking like a Jainistic sun wheel!

Lucy · « **Reply #16 on:** September 12, 2010, 05:16:26 pm »

Scored the first prize!

I was bored of always drawing round mandalas, so I made a rectangular, spinning one.

Persephone · « **Reply #17 on:** September 12, 2010, 05:19:11 pm »

That was pretty good idea. And I know about Your week point for cubical things

Lucy · « **Reply #18 on:** September 12, 2010, 05:23:33 pm »

You do, do you?

*I have to change!*

Goes immediately into spiral things
