Wow, you sure have patience Elph - it's lovely and so detailed. I bought a book of black and white drawings like yours (not as good as yours of course  ) to colour and gave up after the first one lol - too many tiny areas.  I guess I'm more of a colour outside the lines kind of person. 

[Elphanigh]

Awe, thank you Kizzie. I do it with a traditional dip pen (essentially a calligraphy pen) after drawing it all in pencil. This one took me probably about 3 or 3 1/2 hours total. The detail work is really calming to me. So is creating the design. This is my first attempt at a full mandala though so it has a ways to go.

I am glad you like mine so much. Coloring details can be fun, but I totally understand the small details being too much. Lol

I have just been admiring your very detailed and beautiful Mandala - it is really lovely, Elpha.

Wow, I admire your perseverance, patience and attention to detail to draw that! I could maybe colour it in, but not draw!
