Through the creation of my personal mandala, I really valued the peace that it brought me and that every individual was able to create a unique artwork. I do not consider myself a natural drawer, but the mandala allowed me to express my ideas in a simpler and neater manner as opposed to plainly drawing on paper. It was nice to start the year off with the mandala project because it was an adaptable and not too complex process. In addition, it helped me to get more comfortable with digital illustration.
The tool used to create the mandala, Adobe Illustrator, is very versatile and allows the artist to explore their unique artistic styles. I chose to keep my mandala light because I see myself as a minimalist and like to keep things decluttered. I incorporated a few flowery elements and used mostly curved lines rather than straight and rigid ones. I chose to do this because I see myself as an approachable and flexible individual. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the mandala illustration project process for both its creative flow and flexibility.
