Welcome to this week’s Inspiration Mandala called “Joy Awash with Hope”.
This week I let you in behind the scenes to show you a bit more about the process I go through to draw my mandalas.
This mandala is from my personal sketchbook collection from about two years ago. There was a period when I would draw a mandala each day. It helped me practice drawing mandalas. I also became more comfortable in facing the blank page and the uncertainty of not knowing what mandala would emerge in the end.
After I finished drawing the day’s mandala, I would do stream of consciousness writing to reveal the mandala’s title and message for me. You can see the sketch book page below.
These pages were not created with any intention of ever showing them to anyone else. But this process has built the foundation for how I still draw mandalas to this day.
Here is the image in greater detail.
