Black and White Mandala

This is the original form of the mandala that I created using adobe illustrator.

I often times deal with anxiety and stress, so creating this mandala provided a unique opportunity for me to sit and focus on creating something beautiful. I felt like during the process, I was able to forget about anything that caused me uneasiness and exert my thinking into the strokes in which I was drawing. It also provided a space to draw something out of the ordinary. I have never drawn anything similar to this, so the whole process was very fascinating to me. I found that drawing the mandala was very relaxing and peaceful. I could just tune on some music and concentrate on the shapes and patterns on the screen. I had a variety of lines and shapes, different sizes and lengths, that all brought the piece together. One thing that I found satisfying was that everything was symmetrical all around the circle, so the look was very clean and uniform. I was very pleased with the outcome of my mandala because I spent a long time making it as intricate and detailed as possible.

Colored Mandala

We then had to take the black and white form of the mandala, and add color to each stroke. As you can see, I composed it using primary pastel colors on the inside, and finished the outside with medium-toned blues.
