Hand-Drawn-Mandala New Group! by Hand-Drawn-Mandala, journal

Hand-Drawn-Mandala New Group!

Feb 10, 2014

I love making mandalas. And I love colouring them. However the problem I keep coming up against is that it's very difficullt to find groups that accept mixed media. I love to hand drawn my mandalas and then scan them into photoshop and colour them that way. I have just invested in a huge collection of various prismacolour, faber-castell and derwent that I will try out in the coming weeks... We shall see.. So... This group is for people that draw their mandalas by hand. There are no strict rulez that say the colouring has to be ALL in pen or ALL in pencil or even all in photoshop. If you draw ALL in pencil, great... Also, this group welcom

a new contest for a new year....

Jan 3, 2014

The Winter Symmetry! the contest will run one month, i think two months drags it on a bit so people lose interest in it. if this is a total fail, lol, i'l reconsider for next contest. there will be no exceptions. the first day of the contest is tomorrow. we'll close the contest on February 4, 2014 which is a Tuesday. i think some of the reasons that people are uncomfortable with the judging in past cont

contest ends in 3 days...no extension

Feb 1, 2014

hello! we are starting to get quite a few entries coming in as the contest winds down. ~kermityayplz (https://www.deviantart.com/kermityayplz) because of that, and because it is not fair to the people who already submitted theirs, i've decided we won't extend the deadline for the contest. bravo to the people who have entered! :bow: the contest will go on as originally stated. it will still have the same deadline (see the countdown at the top of the page, left side, to see exactly how long you have left.). this is the original journal that explains the contest in detail. http://fav.me/d70o8py we have some new ideas on how to make our next contest run a little more smooth

My Bio

Yes it is an old photo - look way better there than now

Born in the 60`s in UK and now live in rural Norfolk, England.
Current photo here

in my HUGE grey cardigan worn on first autumn day cos it keeps my bum warm being that long

Left college after completing art foundation course as disagreed with tutors that a pile of rusty baking trays was worthy of a scholarship when they couldn`t even draw a straight line! Have done much art since then so haven`t missed out - apart from earning loads of money! Since then have tried many mediums - for past few years has been mainly watercolour, ink and wash local scenes with a lot of glass and silk painting . Got seriously back into art again since July 2006 when encouraged as part of my pain therapy, In 2009, daughter finished Uni and moved out got a craft room - which I sometimes even get to use...
Since finding dA am finally enjoying my art again - thanks guys
Just love to do rather intricate pen works... with surrealism for a nice relax... and the odd wyurmie or critter

To blog or not to blog up my journals, that is my question....:work: Well poll actually, http://quaddles-roost.deviantart.com/journal/poll/4244726/ I have been told by many that I should have a blog - dunnoh if I am really that interesting but suppose I do have some mad tangents leading me astray each week.   So what do YOU reckon should I blog up my journal or not? ~carameldansenplz (https://www.deviantart.com/carameldansenplz) I am Co-Founder of a great new group with Mandala-Jim (https://www.deviantart.com/mandala-jim) called :iconhand-drawn-mandala: for everyone that creates or just loves hand-drawn mandalas...
