Below is a drawing I did by hand with Derwent Inktense Pencils and Watercolor pencils on 9″ x 12″ watercolor paper.
After I finished the drawing, I thought it would be a fun page to color. So, I recreated the drawing in CoralDraw. This version was created for letter size paper, therefore the flowers are spaces .75″ apart, instead of the 1″ spacing used on the hand drawing.
I created a black and white version that is available for download on my Coloring Page.
For some time, I have been wanting to draw a white mandala on black paper. I drew the grid for the mandala back in August. Yesterday, I finished the mandala. It may have taken more time to draw the grid than the mandala. Probably not.
Below is the result of my experiment with Derwent Inktense pencils. These pencils work by adding color to the paper and applying water. Once dry, the ink is permanent. Watercolor pencils and paint you can remoisten.
The drawing was done of watercolor paper with Micron pens.

I have added another drawing to my coloring page. The original line drawing was done in 2015 using Corel Draw. I just added color to it over the weekend.
Christmas Cards are done! Christmas shopping is finished (I think.) Work area cleaned, so I can get back to my drawings!
Here is a mandala I recreated in Corel Draw. It was based off of the one I drew by hand, which was Number 80 in the Mandala Challenge.
A black and white PDF version of this mandala is available on my coloring page.
On Tuesday, I was busy so I didn’t draw on any on my 3.5″ tiles. Nor, did I drawing in my sketchbook. I was busy doing other things, working on Christmas cards, editing a photo, pouring resin on wood block, and….
On Wednesday and Thursday, I drew on four tiles.
When I put those four tile together, below are the results.
