I took photos of this one in stages as I went. I don’t always pencil them in first. But this one is actually quite large. This is my 11×14 sketchbook but the mandala itself is only about 8″… I’ll aim for 10 next time!

So even after I’ve inked in a few layers, I don’t remove the pencil lines because they can sometimes guide the designs inside each petal..

Some pencils are harder than others to erase I’ve learned… I still see pencil marks on the original so I guess the cheapest pencils may not be best..

This one will definitely end up on my Society6!
