Only two rings in this one. I like the separation they create. The insides of each ring feel complementary and cohesive. I need to color this one and see how it turns out.

Monday Mandala 35
Another experiment, with only one ring. It seems simplistic at first glance, but as you look closer, the inside is more detailed than it first appears.
I like it.
Monday Mandala 34
A simpler design than I’ve been doing lately, but it felt like that’s where I should stop. I’m really itching to color this one and see how it turns out.
Mandala 21 – Colored
The last few weeks I’ve spent some time playing around in Procreate and iColorama to digitally color some of my mandalas. Experimenting with the different color palettes in Coolors has been fun, too.
I really like the color palette of this mandala, though I think I should have made the gradient a bit more subtle. The coloring does highlight the design elements of the mandala, which is nice. The technique here is good, but I think I prefer actually coloring in pieces of the design, rather than coloring the lines.
Monday Mandala 33
Digging the elements I incorporated into this mandala. Simple, but lots of pieces for coloring, which I like. I’m experimenting with other forms besides just circles.
I’ve also been experimenting with Amaziograph again. I think I’ll share some of those mandalas as well. They’re not as good, simply because it doesn’t have line smoothing, so my shakiness shows more in the lines. Ah, the joys of aging. 😛
Monday Mandala 32
Is it bad that I am running out of things to say about the mandalas? Should I just post the image and nothing else? I mean, it’s an image, so it’s visual, but I’m not sure I’m capable of NOT writing about it, even if I say the same thing over and over.
Is that bad?
In any event, I like this one. I hope you do too!
Monday Mandala 31
Another mandala where I drew without the guidelines. It makes for a much more free-flowing design. I’m diggin’ all the swirls and loops. This one was fun to draw. 🙂
Monday Mandala 30
I can’t believe I’ve done 30 of these already. I’m excited to color this one and see how that changes the look of it. It feels balanced and I’m happy with the different levels and how they turned out. I wish I had made the center layer a bit more complex, but overall I’m happy with the design.
Monday Mandala 29
This mandala reminds me of a pinecone. I was trying out a different pattern for the leaves, but it doesn’t quite gel with the rest of the mandala. I am quite happy with the floral elements. The flower and leaves in the center turned out really well.
