Mandalas - A Soothing Activity

In the past year or so, Adult coloring books have become a huge fad. Not only are they fun to color, but they help you de-stress. It's a relaxing way to unwind from the day. (Patent pending on that last line.)

Who knew that our kindergarten teachers had it right all along - that coloring was the best thing for us?

While I enjoy coloring them, I often find that it becomes boring after a while. Instead of coloring them, I wanted to be the one to draw them. That sounded like more fun. So I did.

Here are a few that I did over the weekend. Some are not exactly mandalas, but more an exercise in how to draw the designs. These inspirations were taken from the internet and various sources, though the final product is 100% originally mine.

If you want to print them out, I would suggest waiting until I can properly scan them into my laptop and make an actual line art.

Here's a bonus picture. I'm working on a project for a friend. This was done entirely in sharpie. On canvas. Enjoy.
