[WORK] MANADALA

I'm pretty sure I'm quite late to try this, but I found myself struggling to get back into the routine of work after a month long holiday and ended up trying my hand at drawing mandalas. To my basic understanding, it's purpose is similar to zentangles (which I will also try my hand at), in that it is a form of 'doodle' to help relax and inspire. There is no 'correct' way to do it, and no 'correct' outcome.

I have so far drawn three mandalas, and for me, it's quite therapeutic. Although it hasn't inspired any other art works, it has been a good way to ease me into some light work related reading or research - which is definitely something I need to catch up on before uni starts! It's a nice thing to do to clear your head, or when you feel the need to do something creative but you're not too sure what. Whatever reason, I'm enjoying them, and the outcomes are beautiful - no matter how simple or complex!
