The Mandala Lady > Mandala of the Week #18: Essence of Being #1
This design started out as a doodle and built upon itself. As I draw designs like this one, I start in the middle and draw out a simple idea; then I look at it and it just looks like something else needs to be added and each ring around builds on the previous one until I reach the 12 inch diameter edge.
In version #1, I used color pencils and incorporated the chakra colors as rings of color, with the sun-like center appearing to be glowing from behind.
The message for this mandala: All that I am is Divine
