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 welcomes those that don't want to colour their work...
Sometimes a black and white piece can be just as powerful as a coloured one..
I hope all that is clear.. NO COMPUTERS ALLOWED TO CREATE / DRAW the mandalas! Else all goes..
For the start can I request that you upload just 3 of your favourites so far.. we'll adjust the figures according the popularity of the group
All the best for now

New Facebook Page to showoff your work!
My wonderful partner Susie has just opened a new Facebook Group called "Sacred Geometry Adult Coloring Group" https://www.facebook.com/groups/485603544941542/?pnref=story

Not a problem if you submit designs that you have already placed on Deviant Art either.
Peace and Love,
Jim

Octobers competition!
October's colouring competiton is now open. I think my latest drawing (R.E.M) will be the picture which will be available to directly download http://mandala-jim.deviantart.com/art/R-E-M-485151871 from the page if you wish to take part . Unlike Septembers competition there is PLENTY of time. It's a rather complex drawing so maybe you'll need the extra time! :D The picture can be printed and coloured using pencils, colouring pencils, felt, craysons,.. basically anything goes! If you don't prefer using traditional materials then by all means use your computer. Photoshop, Corel Draw, Gimp.. again anything goes.
As some of you requested, I've li
