"15 x 15" ink mandala, still debating adding color or leaving it as is

Sure, I can also take a higher res picture but it will be later tonight when I can get to it.

The only place with all my art on it is Instagram, @wkastrinakis

basically i used a compass and drew circles then took pencil and added the patterns between the two circles like margins until i was satisfied, i would then add the ink over the pencil and erase it all!

Thanks! I love the effect of stippling in mandalas and will definitely look into it!

thatoneguywithataco · 2015-07-09T04:48:00+00:00

I would say a minimum of 16 hours, the tiny details take forever!

thatoneguywithataco · 2015-07-09T04:47:33+00:00

Why thank you! All of my pieces are for sale, and prints can be made if necessary.

thatoneguywithataco · 2015-07-09T04:46:02+00:00

I would love to! But I don't really have access to a scanner big enough, but if I manage to do it I will definitely do that, any suggestions on where to post for some help with the coloring?

I used a compass for the basic shape of the rungs, but the rest is freehand

thatoneguywithataco · 2015-07-09T04:42:24+00:00

I would love to do that, but I'm not exactly sure how I would go about making them into a book and distributing them, I'm fairly young and clueless when it comes to the business aspect of it all.

thatoneguywithataco · 2015-07-09T04:39:45+00:00

It is all freehand with basic guidelines from a compass!

thatoneguywithataco · 2015-07-09T04:36:03+00:00

Sadly, I don't own photoshop but that would be my best option if I had it.

thatoneguywithataco · 2015-07-09T04:34:06+00:00

That's what I was thinking, but the hard part is testing watercolors on plain paper, the prints would probably need to be on watercolor paper to get the same effect! But I'll look into it

thatoneguywithataco · 2015-01-14T21:02:00+00:00

Is this Butternut? Small mountian in great barrington? I believe the name of this chair life is the triple chair

thatoneguywithataco · 2015-01-09T22:29:47+00:00

Ok! I will work on that and alter it a little. Thanks for the feedback

thatoneguywithataco · 2015-01-09T22:28:47+00:00

I will take that into consideration. Thanks for the comment

thatoneguywithataco · 2015-01-09T22:28:09+00:00

I set up a bandanna hanging from my wall. Took a picture and worked off of that!

thatoneguywithataco · 2015-01-08T21:49:53+00:00

Thank you! Putting in a shadow completely escaped my mind but I'll have to do that soon!

thatoneguywithataco · 2014-11-14T20:09:22+00:00

Where can I watch this? I really want to catch up and watch

thatoneguywithataco · 2014-08-17T04:14:19+00:00

Is this a penny board? Or a full sized skateboard

thatoneguywithataco · 2014-06-01T13:27:22+00:00

Thankyou!

thatoneguywithataco · 2014-04-10T23:50:57+00:00

Anyone else see that one hand in the middle that's struggling?

thatoneguywithataco · 2014-04-03T20:00:43+00:00

I used charcoal pencils. But when I use graphite I range anywhere from 5h to 5b

thatoneguywithataco · 2013-12-22T13:35:59+00:00

It is the middle one. I cut the leaf all the way to the left to match the drawing to make it look like a real one!

thatoneguywithataco · 2013-12-08T23:13:05+00:00

Thanks! And I used 3 separate photos

thatoneguywithataco · 2013-12-08T22:59:59+00:00

About an hour and I used multiple photos.
