I love making patterns. I am very symetrical, I have a hard time not balancing things out when I draw. (I really need to learn to let go of that!)
I drew this mandala with the help of my 9 year-old son who directed me on where to place the lines in my picture as I drew.
The first step I took was to sketch it out in pencil (sorry, I don't have that picture to show you!).
The next step was to line it all in pen, then erase the pencil lines. I used the Micron pens for this step.
Looks nice but kind of boring with all the same size lines.
Step three, I made some lines thicker and added the fine details, again with my Micron pens.
It's looking way better! My son loves this last step. I colored everything in using my Copics, Sharpies and Bic Mark-Its. My son picked the colors to use. Then my final touch was with my white paint pens.
Turned out pretty nice for a mommy and me project (he says "mommy and me" sounds to baby-ish - hahaha).
