Rather than including little easter eggs, I decided to base this Mandala off of my OC world that I&#8217;m making. My original characters are very important to me and a lot of my creativity goes into making this story, which is why I thought this mandala would also be a perfect representation of who I am.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I had a lot more fun creating the second Mandala because I figured out how to work the wacom tablet well. In the past, I hated using the wacom because of how shaky and unstable the sensitivity was. However, once my arm got used to the pattern, it started feeling pretty natural. I decided to not use reflection when making the complicated pattern in the center because I thought it would look cooler and more chaotic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I liked seeing the printed out version, but I was a little disapointed becase there was a noticable light patch in the ink. This was probably because my mandala was so dark and saturated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mandala Build Reveal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the drawings were finished, we were told to create a build reveal video on Adobe After Effects. We had to screen record unhiding all the layers on Adobe Illustrator, then include the video of the wood burning process which was fun to watch. To be honest, I was dreading the screen recording bit, because I had to unhide over 1,000 layers. But it became easy for me once I realized I could drag the mouse over multiple layers to unhide them at the same time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"26 27 p5 Mandala CorinneB\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/s-Cw6VdXWn0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, I had a lot of fun on this project, especially the second Mandala. I got more comfortable with the wacom and illustrator (Two things that I was very unfamiliar and confused by) and got to draw what I wanted! This felt like one big doodle session which I really enjoyed. I learned more Adobe Illustrator tools, got more comfortable with the wacom, was able to be creative, and gain more practice with Adobe After Effects for the build reveal video. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reflections Project Introduction My Personal Mandalas Colored Mandala For my colored Mandala, I decided to start fresh and make a new one.
