Sunday afternoon

i did this floral mandala in what i would call a semi-usual style, it was not what i would instinctively have done, especially with the filled in lines instead of blocked out colors. and i also deliberately tried to do something different by not filling in the white spaces of the green lines. it was somewhat frustrating to leave the white spaces as such, i wanted so much to put down thicker, broader strokes of color to fill it all in. but i reasoned that if i wanted to do that, i could always draw the design again and make a blk/wht copy and then go back and do color/texture experiments. i guess this is why people use photoshop, but aside from the prohibitive price, i like to do things by hand rather than mess about with the computer.
