New Mandalas in iOrnament

I’ve been lucky enough to get my hands on the beta version of the upcoming update of iOrnament Pro (thank you Jürgen Richter-Gebert!). There are lots of new brushes to create metallic textures, dots, glitter, and more. If you are interested in learning to draw mandalas in iOrnament and Procreate, check out this class: Mandalas in iOrnament and Procreate.

Here are my latest mandalas.

Mandalas Catch-up

Still catching up on posting my digital mandalas. The mandalas were created in iOrnament; colour and backgrounds were added in Procreate.

If you want to learn how to create mandalas like these, check out my mandalas online class.

This one was a lot of fun to do. It’s done entirely in Procreate and was a fun experiment using colours I don’t use often.

This one is very different from my usual style. It was inspired by the art of Robin Mead.

This one was also created completely in Procreate.

Going back to one of my favourite colour palettes, and playing with different techniques for 3-D illusions.

Recent artwork

I’m really behind posting my artwork. I have a new schedule for blog posts, and I’ll be posting regularly, alternating artwork posts and tutorial posts.

Here are some recent digital mandalas. The first two are mandalas created in iOrnament, with backgrounds done in Procreate. You can learn to create mandalas like these in my Mandalas class on Skillshare.

These three were created entirely in Procreate. I’m trying to replicate a look similar to decorative strokework.
