This week's mandala template is lovely. Again. Another winner, Erin!
I jumped out of the box by not obsessing about completely filling an area with a tangle, allowing negative space to circle around the pen strokes and using the opportunity to add simple shading.
Remember the lesson on how to make a "bubble" in the middle of a tangle? (or some refer to it as a "water droplet" or "dew drop").... Well, the outer orbs and circles on this template is where I made an attempt at that technique.
▼ Hope someone (Enthusiastic Artist *hint hint*) will do an indepth tutorial on the bubble/dew drop technique, and which tangles enhance the bubble quality vs. tangles to avoid. I, obviously, don't get it!! lol

Just lovely no other words.....
ReplyDeleteLike what you did with the outer orbs and the smaller sections next to it. Good way to use the bubble effect. Meers fits well with the organic flowers. Are those the one from Totally Tangled?
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, it could be a design in the TT book.... but it's one of those 'flower forms' that is seen everywhere and seems to fit nicely wherever it is planted. Thank you for commenting.
DeleteVery pretty! I think you did a nice job on the orbs, and I like the touch of color on your pretty flowers.
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL! I love the color and the shading; also the flowers are very well done.
ReplyDeleteI like the chois of tangles and color! The flowers looks great!
ReplyDeletebeautiful!!! Love how you used henna drum!
ReplyDeleteWhat an overall beautiful zendala! Love the flowers, the shading, the geometric checkered tangle contrasting with the more organic ones...nice!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Like your balance of organic and linear, and the touch of colour!
