This morning I've been playing around with Autodesk Sketchbook Pro and working out how I can use it to draw mandalas on my Surface Book. I have done some small mandalas using the software to create greetings cards, but nothing as intricate as this mandala (and the next one I add to deviantART).

Using Sketchbook Pro makes some aspects of mandala drawing easier, such as dividing the circle, adding circle guides, and erasing mistakes. Even though I've been drawing on 'virtual paper' using tools that could result in perfect symmetry, there is still very much that hand-drawn quality to them, as well as imperfections that make the art more 'human'.
