How to draw Crescents mandala - original pattern

[@jerrycallender9927]

Watching art being created is NEVER boring!

[@AlenaLight]

Nowadays the attention span drops to several minutes, if not seconds. So it’s hard to promote anything with longer duration (: But I love sharing and hope that it’s useful for others.

[@melissaandresen7899]

Very nice instructional video. When i draw mandalas, I find it to be very peaceful, and Im able to kinda get away from my daily stressers that life brings oneself. It's interesting to find out that it's even peaceful when someone else draws a mandala. Your work is VERY good. Thank you for sharing some of your peace with me. 😊

[@AlenaLight]

Thank you so much for sharing my joy (: I hope you’ll find my other videos as soothing, as this one and they would inspire you to create your own 🙏

[@vanessakosina5837]

So cool to see you drawing ! Thanks for this beautiful idea of crescent mandala !

[@AlenaLight]

Always welcome (: I hope my latest videos will be inspiring for you too ✨💙✨

[@Stampd]

Love it… you are one talented lady!!!

[@AlenaLight]

Thank you! I just love drawing

[@MooseKrazysFlowingCanvas]

10min in and NOT bored at all! The music is perfect and watching you draw is mesmerizing. Also, seeing all the crescents made helps to learn the process as sometimes your hand is in the way (understandable). Thanks for sharing!

[@AlenaLight]

Thank you so much for all your love (: And more of my mandalas are in instagram (I post daily) - instagram.com/alena_light/

[@MsKeeJay]

I really enjoy watching you draw. It is soothing and fascinating!

[@AlenaLight]

Thank you so much!

[@brendankelly5668]

Love it. Late watcher but looking to draw this and here this is. Very much appreciated, well done.

[@AlenaLight]

Thank you for watching (:

[@monicaeggleton4510]

Very reinforcing to see you doing crescents throughout development of the mandala. You do a wonderful job both in demonstrating, and in your artistic style. Anything is possible, one line at a time...realized. Time for me to put pen to paper, and do my first mandala!

[@AlenaLight]

How is it going with your mandalas, Monica? I'm a random guest on my own channel during Summer, because I've got so much work in the garden. So sorry for the late reply!

[@carolelogsdon9233]

Meditative drawing, just wonderful. Thank you for sharing your vision

[@AlenaLight]

Thank you for watching (:

[@vidarghausdrache7729]

Your mandala is really cool looking. It's amazing to be able to trace underhanded.

[@AlenaLight]

[@mallymakings2853]

Oh, Alena, what a stunning Mandala. Everything about this video is perfection, your art, your music selection and your little notes of encouragement. I Love your work. Thank you for sharing. 🤗🤗🤗

[@AlenaLight]

Thank you so so much, Laura!

Just discovered you! I am in awwwwww.....love the tranquillity and music! And of course the creativity!

[@AlenaLight]

thank you so much (; and you are free to share my videos to spread the light.

[@joebrown4380]

I like. And, didn't get bored! Much better than the time lapse recordings where hands move in a blur that just a final picture would be better. Thank you.

[@AlenaLight]

(((; I've got timelapses on my Instagram account, because the time is limited to 1 min

[@lourdesitara8070]

Dear Alena Light: I have been having problems with my computer and it has finally been fixed. the first thing I did was to look you up because I miss watching your vids. Thank you for responding to the message I sent you. I really did think that you would send an answer back since I have not seen a more recent video of yours but I am more than happy to watch all your posts over and over with no problem since I do enjoy them so very much. I do hope you post another one soon so I can become more engaged with you talents. Please, have a Blessed day.....Lu.

[@AlenaLight]

Dear Lourdes, I humbly suggest you to follow me on Instagram for more updates and more videos of my mandalas and stones and ink - instagram.com/alena_light You can just watch my post right in browser if you've got no Instagram installed. So happy to have such a supporting fan as you.

[@laureenhawes8093]

Fascinating! I love your work!

[@AlenaLight]

thank you!

[@ghostlyjudge]

thats badass

[@AlenaLight]

Do you like large mandalas? Quite uncomfortable to draw them (:

[@ghostlyjudge]

@@AlenaLight their call i cant draw but i would love to get a shot at them

[@AlenaLight]

If you can write your name, you can draw a mandala. The secret of any mandala is drawing one line after the other. The complex result may look challenging, but in reality it just takes time and calm patience to draw a mandala. I suggest to start small to train your hand and gradually moving to the larger mandalas💙💙💙

[@angelaortiz3406]

Your artwork is amazing beautiful

[@AlenaLight]

thank you so much! I'm posting the final artworks at instagram - instagram.com/alena_light

[@BeatrisASilva]

uow! lovely. thanks to sharing, I can watching you all the time. congrats!!!

[@AlenaLight]

Thank you so much for watching and enjoying (: Come back for more videos!

[@mallymakings2853]

Your videos are NEVER a bore! I love and enjoy every single second. I love how this looks. Thank You for sharing. I was wondering how you learned to “let go” and draw “organically?” I want to let go and just “flow” but my anxiety and ocd prevent that. Do you have any ideas or advice? Thank You.xxx

[@AlenaLight]

Try drawing a ritual - find quiet or just a cozy spot (at home, in a cafe, outside in a park), take several very slow and deep breaths, notice how your whole body feels - the weight of the body, warm and cool areas and such take your paper and a pen and just touch them softly draw a circle in the middle add some petals or leaves proceed until you loose any thoughts in this drawing meditation or until tired (; Just don’t let your inner critic to ruin your ritual - ask him/her to take a tea break while you are drawing.

[@mallymakings2853]

Alena Light Honestly, this is precious advice. Thank You so much, Alena. xxx

[@brendasmyth3196]

Beautiful I luv it👍💖

[@AlenaLight]

Thank you!

[@decimate503]

Please tell me the where I can find the background music. This might sound strange, but I've been designing a mandala in memory of my family, and while watching this for insperation, I was almost brought to tears. The music really reaches deep, just like your designs.

[@AlenaLight]

It's something from Chairhouse, I can't tell you more clearly.

[@lindasart3945]

[@lindakeevers5177]

I am mesmerised by your beautiful work. Will we see this one finished? I could watch you all night.

[@AlenaLight]

thank you so much for your kind words (; this mandala was drawn for this tutorial only to share the idea of creating crescents and was finished at the stage you see on the video.

[@AlenaLight]

actually there are two rings at my finger, one is a gift and another bought in Vilnius, Lithuania.

[@jburbage511]

Fabulous

[@AlenaLight]

thank you

[@muskndusk]

Do you change the compass width at all? It's not clear in the video.

[@AlenaLight]

muskndusk yes, I change the radius after drawing the first 7 circles

[@muskndusk]

Thank you. I love drawing mandalas and have learned so much from this piece.

[@muskndusk]

I've been trying to draw this and can't work out how you get the fourth crescent at 3:18. without drawing another central circle.

[@AlenaLight]

muskndusk I make each next half circle just from the next of the concentric circles.

[@babadeedee214]

Your line work is perfection! I LOVE all your videos. Thank you for sharing your amazing gift. Will you be sharing the colored completed version of this mandala? ;)

[@AlenaLight]

thank you so much, Debbie (; This one will wait till scanned for my coloring book and then maybe I'll colour it (;

thank you!

[@virginiaholliday6952]

Very cool!

[@AlenaLight]

Thank you for watching (:

[@MrTonyach]

Hi, That was excellent. Question, was it a random measurement for the width of the petals, or how did you measure the width? The video was too quick.

[@AlenaLight]

Can you clarify which petals you mean?

[@MrTonyach]

Hi Alena, I was asking about the hexagon style drawing you did. I like it so much that I want to try it. Thanx, Tony

[@AlenaLight]

The initial petals are done in Flower of Life manner - using the same distance of compass as used for the circle creation.

[@anitafroese3201]

That is cool

[@AlenaLight]

🙏💫✨

[@asifabashir6085]

It's so cool can i get the measurements of it

[@AlenaLight]

Hard to tell, this mandala is in its new home for years.

[@AlenaLight]

The sheet is A3 I guess

[@asifabashir6085]

i want to know the radius of circles which u made

[@asifabashir6085]

actually I'm having a project to do not getting what i prepare for that so i saw this video of urs n i liked it alot can u help me in my project plxx if u recommend me other mandal designs or give me idea about how i do that will be ur most Kindness

[@AlenaLight]

I don’t know, I just eyeball all the radiuses

[@lourdesitara8070]

Hello Alena L., and are you kidding me...Boring?... No, this is not boring but just the opposite. I enjoy it very much when drawings go longer than what is expected, so please draw on - The longer the Better, but I do understand that a post needs to be 30 minutes or less, so please take it to the very last second, and Thank You for sharing your art. I have been subscribed to your channel for quite some time, even before I found the more popular sites that are out now. Have a Blessed Day and share more art please. Lu. :)))

[@sheilaingram3896]

Could hardly see the drawing (please dont tell me its supposed to be like that)

[@AlenaLight]

not that it was supposed that way, but years ago I had to use my phone and a mug as a tripod to film videos and this was the best attempt for such large mandala. Moreover, it’s not a tutorial, but can be used as inspiration.

[@AlenaLight]

Try to adjust the brightness of your monitor, because I can see pencil lines clear enough...

[@AlenaLight]

I like timelapses because they allow to show the main idea in a very short time - Instagram has 1 min limit for videos and not much can be done for such a short time
