Mandala for 30th December 2017
WIP Wednesday
It’s WIP Wednesday once again over at the Angela Porter’s Coloring Book Fans facebook group. This is my current work in progress. I think I’m in touch with my inner bohemian/hippy once again in my colour choices, or maybe I just need a break from all the Christmassy/Winter colour schemes. Perhaps I just need some bright colour in my life at the moment. I do know using bright, vibrant colours always makes me smile.

WIP Wednesday and a new book available in the Colorist App
It’s that day again – WIP Wednesday – in the Angela Porter’s Coloring Book Fans facebook group.
So, here is my work in progress, an icy patterned mandala.
This mandala is one of ten templates available in my latest book in the Colorist App from Faction Apps,
I’m using the template as an opportunity to learn more about Autodesk Sketchbook Pro on my Microsoft Surface Book, in particular working with the different kind of layers and how I can add patterns to the coloured sections. This mandala is going to be great for that as the sections are quite large.

Doodleworlds – a coloured template.
This is the finished Doodleworlds template that was started a couple or so days ago.
I needed a quiet day or two and colouring seemed to be the way to go, and it gave me a chance to work more with Autodesk Sketchbook Pro and my Microsoft Surface Pen and Surface Book.
There’s a facebook group dedicated to my colouring books – Angela Porter’s Coloring Book Fans

WIP Wednesday
It’s WIP (work in progress) Wednesday over in the Angela Porter Coloring Books Fans facebook group. This is one of my current ones. It’s from my Doodleworlds book, available on Amazon, and a pdf version is available from my Etsy shop, Artwyrd.
I’ve been laid a tad low with some kind of cold, and I’m still not right today; it’s been a week or so now. So, my arty output has been curtailed somewhat, but it’s beginning to ramp up a tad now.
Colouring done using my Surface Pen using Autodesk Sketchbook Pro on my Microsoft Surface Book. I’m using various brushes for the design elements, but have used a gradient fill for the skies.

Christmas mandala
I enjoyed drawing and colouring the previous mandala so much, I thought I’d do another. This was particularly helpful for me as I was rather emotionally drained yet emotional yesterday after doing a couple of anti-stigma talks in my role as a champion for Time to Change Wales, a campaign that aims to end the stigma and discrimination that surrounds mental illness.
I started this yesterday, but it’s taken me much of today to complete it.

WIP Wednesday on Angela Porter’s Coloring Book Fans facebook group
Wednesdays are WIP Days over on the Angela Porter’s Coloring Book Fans facebook group.
Today, as part of my December/Advent gifts, I created this Christmas themed mandala for them to colour in.
If you’d like to colour this one in, then pop over to the facebook group, join and download and print the template for your own personal use – no selling, sharing and so on, either uncoloured or coloured! Don’t forget, the group members, and myself, love to see how you bring the template to life with colour!
I used my Microsoft Surface pen to draw the mandala on my Microsoft Surface book in Autodesk Sketchbook Pro. I then used the same tools to colour the mandala.

Doodleworlds, December facebook group challenge
Angela Porter’s Coloring Book Fans facebook group challenge for December
This month, the challenge for the members of the facebook group Angela Porter’s Coloring Book Fans is a little different. I’ve set them a challenge to use limited palettes of winter or Christmas or holiday colours to colour in any template they wish and to share their results. I’m hoping for lots of sparkle and shine!
The image above is my offering today for the group, the template I created exclusively for them, so if you’d like to get it and colour it, head over to Angela Porter’s Coloring Book Fans and sign up. You’ll be sure to get a warm welcome there!
I drew the design on my Microsoft Surface Book using my Surface Pen and Autodesk Sketchbook Pro. I used the same tools to colour the image.
