If you want to create your own Mandalas but don’t have the expertise, the time, or the patience this is your class!

Aldara always wanted to create a method to design Mandalas focusing only on the creative part and letting the computer do the hard precision work. You’ll learn her workflow, tips and tricks to create Mandalas quickly and easily! Even if you don’t have any drawing experience.

In this class you will learn:

What is radial symmetry and how to create it with Affinity designer.

How to create and use Symbols to create your Mandalas quickly and precisely.

How to create and use Assets to design Mandalas

How to create any Mandala from scratch

Filling your design using different textures and colouring. 

You’ll be creating Mandalas from the first class!

The only materials needed for this class are a computer (or tablet) with Affinity designer and a mouse or a pen tablet if you have it. If you are planning to use your design as prints you will need a printer or means to print.

To take this class you don’t need any experience drawing or creating mandalas as I will show step by step how to do everything. But a basic knowledge of Affinity Designer will be needed. I will be using Affinity Designer for PC, but a comfortable Affinity user will be able to follow the class from her tablet.

With this class, I will include a library of assets, a brush collection, and several colour palettes so you can start designing right away.

At the end of the class, you will have a colouring page and a fully coloured and textured mandala. Also, you’ll have learned how to use these principles and techniques to create other circular designs like snowflakes, flowers or even charts.
