I like mandala designs for several reasons.
1) They allow you to experiment with textures while creating artwork. Regardless of what sort of texture you create, they tend to look fantastic.
2) They allow you to experiment with different nibs.
3) The designs are often small, so you don’t have to shade large areas.
4) They look good regardless of how you burn them in.
The abstract dragonfly is an old project. One that I barely remember doing. The design isn’t very large, and there are areas where shading is involved. Shading is easier to do in small sections, so this blog allows you to practice while creating art. The downside to this project is that there are not any videos available for it. Abstract Dragonfly
Mandala I. This was my first mandala design. The sections are very basic, so even if you are brand new to pyrography you can do this one. Mandala I
Mandala II. This design is a little more complex than the first one. To me, this complexity gives it more visual interest. Mandala II
Mandala III. My third mandala design has a complexity level on par with the second one.
What make this one unique is that I repeated parts of the design on other areas on the board. Quite truthfully, this sort of customization is something you can do with any mandala design.
This mandala Christmas tree artwork is a lot of fun. Mandala Christmas
The mandala dragonfly is a very striking project. The dragonfly and corners were created using pyrography. The background was created using grey toned colored pencils. Mandala Dragonfly
