The Mandala Effect

in #mandala7 years ago

A little more messing around with Affinity Designer tonight.

I saw some videos of these being made really easily on YouTube so I decided to try one tonight. Yeah, they are pretty easy to do once you get the setup complete for all the mirroring. It took a little while to think about how to do the coloring, but It took no time at all once I figured out the fastest system.

One problem I ran into was my graphic pen did not like to do this. I'd press the pen on the tablet and it would just start shooting all over the page, drawing all kinds of random lines at it went. The mouse didn't do this, and the pen works fine in other documents so it's something about the complexity of getting this set up that the pen just couldn't compute, I guess.

I think I'll try a more intricate one later on, if I can get my pen working with it.

The mandala that your drawing looks great !! It is important to note that these drawings have an important positive effect for mental health.

That looks pretty interesting. I'll check out some you tube videos on the program.
