In this course you will learn to draw Mandala which are inspired by zentangle patterns. Mandala & zentangle art forms are quite similar mainly because one needs to follow a certain set of rules while creating them. Mandala designs are geometric shapes composed around a circular shape. On the other hand, Zentangle art is created using the combination of simple & structured patterns on square paper tiles. So in this course you will learn to draw both mandala and zentangle together as both the art forms are super meditative and relaxing.
