Hey Guys!

I hope you are having a wonderful day. I decided that I want to upload another one of my "Mandala art piece Process" posts, just because I love making these posts so much! I’m not going to lie, I wasn’t the biggest fan of my previous artwork post, but honestly speaking, this piece is one of my favorites!!

So first thing, as always, I started with the basic layout of the art piece in pencil. This is just to give myself some guidelines of the overall shape of the piece. This time I went for a "half circle" shape and I absolutely loved how it turned out!

Next thing I do is start filling in some basic shapes and patterns. I went for shades of red of this artwork.

Filling in some more patterns:

Next I started on filling in some smaller details and patterns. Before I fill in patterns with pen I will usually do a quick rough pencil version of the pattern. This is just to make sure the right patterns goes in the right places and to give me some guidelines so that my patterns look more precise.
