Mapping Out Mandalas Tutorial

This is a quick tutorial I made in response to a question I received about how my mandalas are made. I hope to make more detailed tutorials in the future explaining how I design my knot work and produce a finished piece but that will have to wait until my schedule slows a bit. This will at least give people a starting point. If you want more, just let me know!
-just an ironic tidbit: I had just purchased my first Wacom tablet a couple days before making this and I was a bit obsessed. So my tutorial on how to hand draw mandalas was designed with a digital pen. Go figure.
