Beginners tutorial: How to draw a mandala
Today I’m bringing you a tutorial for something that I get questions about all of the time… I will show you how I constructed the simple draw a Mandala. Although ,it looks complicated it's .Actually quite easy, once you know the steps.
I have been drawing mandalas as a way to relax body and mind , worry and depression and I often get asked where I learned and how I got started.
Unfortunately, there’s not a lot of information out there on how to draw a mandala. There’s plenty of pretty pictures for reference though, and that is how I learned…
The mandala is a sanskrit for "circle" or "completion" has a long history and is recognized
for its deep spiritual meaning and representation of all the things and wholeness.It can be understood in two different ways:externally as a visual representation of the universe or internally as a guide for several practices.It's means represent structure of life itself . shows the relation to the infinite and beyond within the body and mind.A mandala is a ritual symbol in Asian cultures.
Many people and culutures are giving different types of meaning and names for mandala art.
But know , the mandala is a diagram ,chart or geometric pattern for "New Age".
"A brief history of mandala should details on next post articles"
Don't think about how it's going to look when you finish, or how people will react when they see it. Don't make it about yourself, and don't treat it as a test of your drawing skill or self-worth. Let the rhythm take you around each circle, and let the mandala become your whole world for now. There's no good or bad just the rhythm, lines, and contrast.
So sit down, and take a breath. Smile and draw .. What you think in your mind and do something creativity .
