I found that suuuuper therapeutic to watch. Normally I wouldn't be able to sit through over 20 minutes of someone drawing/doodling, but I found myself mesmerized & glued to the screen throughout the entire video.! I liked & subbed, thanks for making such a beautiful set of mandalas for everyone to enjoy, cheers.!!
I actually had got to a point on my own mood mandala that I needed to add some lines. I played this in the background. Not only did I get some inspiration from your designs, but the music is so relaxing.
Oh thanks for this video. It's super funny that I bought a tropical and candy set of those pens yesterday while shopping !! I went super excited when I saw the title of your video. I really like Paper mate flair pens, it's a very good surprise. I bought them mostly for the interesting colors in the box because I'm a full time illustrator. But they are very great for bullet journaling !
For me they don't bleed , I guess they are like a normal water based marker or even better. For example I can doodle and color some squares in my bullet journal (leuchttrum1917) with dark colors and nothing bleed though the back and lighter colors are barely visible :)

Wow Kara this was so relaxing to watch! Love it! I am yet to try a mood mandala of my own, I worry I'll make a mess of it, but I'll give it a go some day! Love your videos so much, your positivity and creativity are just so awesome! :) Sending hugs from the UK xx
I really like these kind of videos. Thank you for taking the time to create them. I really liked the second mandala at the beginning it really reminded me of origami.
Hi Kara, I love seeing your videos - with this I thought you might as well leave them in normal speed, so they would be even more relaxing. ... Just an idea ... :) ... You know, we who' re watching you, really enjoy the time. :)
Two questions. The first is how do you get the compass needle to not go through 45 pages of your journal or paper.? I did my March bullet journal mood mandala spread and I literally have a center hole through 45 pages! This was using a very good compass. The second question I have is how many degrees are each circle? I don't know how far to separate the compass each time I'm drawing a new circle.
For the compass needle, there's not much to do except trying to use less force, but you can always stick a piece of cardboard behind it, so that it pierces only that... Also, she's spacing her circles randomly, but you can always choose to be more regular (0.5 cm to match the dot grids?). As for the divisions of the circle, if you make 16 divisions, the angle is 360/16 = 22.5°. hope this helps =)
Same. I drew my March mood mandala on page 56 in my bujo and ended up with a center hole through page 83. AND I used a piece of cardboard to try and not poke it through. Lol. Not really sure what to do at this point. I can't seem to be able to not put as much pressure on it, I just end up with uneven circles.
Put a piece of white eraser or gummy putty over the end of the compass, not too big of a piece, though. It's worked for me and I don't stamp through the pages.
Totally loved this vid! So relaxing to watch, kind of like meditating. And as others have asked, would love to know who some of the artists for the music are. You are amazing Kara!! :)
can you make this a printable?? also, could you maybe talk about tips or ideas for mandala patterns and how to keep from being to redundant? I sometimes can't think of new patterns!
I have a video on how to draw a mandala here: ruclips.net/video/QcHDIK0E5KY/видео.html But really there are no hard fast rules. Just repeat any pattern symmetrically around and you're good to go :) The beauty of it is definitely how relaxing and almost meditative the process is as Linda said :)
Sooooooooo relaxing to watch and to listen to the music...thank you for a beautiful piece! Could you link the music/artist/titles you use for this video? Please? I think there are times in my office I could use some "BohoBerry Kara Zen" to smooth out the rough edges of working in cubbies with loud conversations around. Blessings Be.
I use mandala drawing as a practice to help when I an feeling anxiety. as helps with my ADD. Helps me to focus and after a 30 min practice I find I do not have a problem the rest of the day,,,Sometimes it is hard to find 30 mins though

I wonder how many people would love to win some of your art work. Can't believe you ever thought you weren't creative. Your work is so beautiful.
Ordered my Papermate Candy Pops & the Staedtler compass & ruler. Going to go for it on the mandala creating. Thanks Kara.
I ordered all the supplies you listed and I can’t wait to make my first mandala! They are my favorite things to color!!
I actually had got to a point on my own mood mandala that I needed to add some lines. I played this in the background. Not only did I get some inspiration from your designs, but the music is so relaxing.
This is awesome! It would be interesting to see what a larger mandala would look like using all of the 5 colors.
One word...AWESOMENESS. Thank you for sharing.
As much as I wanted to watch it and follow along, it was so mesmerizing and entrancing. I found myself just watching intently.
Beautiful! Have you thought about drawing one big multicolored mandala? Those colors go so well together. :)

Shalinka My question also. They don't look like they bleed when drawing but wonder how deep, if it bleeds through to the back.
For me they don't bleed , I guess they are like a normal water based marker or even better. For example I can doodle and color some squares in my bullet journal (leuchttrum1917) with dark colors and nothing bleed though the back and lighter colors are barely visible :)

Looks so simple watching you do it, but the end result is just so intricate and beautiful, I'm even afraid to try it!
Just beautiful - I cold watch all day!
I needed that this morning!!!! A great start to what is going to be a crazy day. Thank you!
You make it look so easy 😊
This inspired me to start using my fountain pens for mandalas. I used some nice shading ink and a medium lamy nib, works so well!
Beautiful !!! Had to fast forward to the almost end though,was getting dizzy from all the paper spinning! Lol
My favorite pens ever :) Love the new color set....adding to my Amazon cart now lol

Your ink is awesome! And your videos are cool too!
that was great! will you list your music that you play in the background. I love it and it is always so soothing.
Absolutely love this!!!
This absolutely stunning! Such a beautiful illustration :) thanks for sharing your process :) x
I really like watching you draw and color, but I always prefer when it's not sped up, it's more relaxing to watch it real-time. :)
Thanks Lindsay! I plan on doing a real-time one soon. This one would have been 1.5 hours though haha!
Yea that would have been a bit long, haha! Thanks for responding! :)
Absolutely inspiring, i am totally going to give this a go...i LOVED it! Sending good karma your way tonight, thanks
I love watching you, and want to start one, too. I don't know how it will go for me.

pintrest is very good when looking for inspiration
If you offer a mandala like the deep pink one, I'd be sure to buy one (hint, hint!)
Amazing! You're so talented! Are there "rules" to drawing Mandalas?
Michelle Scott I think the only "rule" is that it's supposed to be relaxing. It's a mindfulness exercise
I have a video on how to draw a mandala here: ruclips.net/video/QcHDIK0E5KY/видео.html

Michelle Scott Yes and there books to help you draw them i have some

Beautiful!!!
Your work is inspirational, relaxing and beautiful.
Could you list the first musical piece on the video? ... it is wonderful!
Love your chanel. You are such an inspiration. Thank you for sharing. What is the music you are playing? I think it is very relaxing.
Gosh😍😍😊😊😊..
they look so pretty....great work Kara
This was mesmerizing to watch. Thank you! What music was playing during the coloring of the first mandala? Sounded like maybe a ukulele? Loved it!
that was amazing! so beautiful! do you mind telling info about the music you play?
Fantastic!
i cant help it, i always get asleep with these videos... jajajaja
it's because they're so relaxing :-)
I watch them when I'm nervous or anxious, and I feel better :-D
I use mandala drawing as a practice to help when I an feeling anxiety. as helps with my ADD. Helps me to focus and after a 30 min practice I find I do not have a problem the rest of the day,,,Sometimes it is hard to find 30 mins though
Jennifer Jenkins omg I do that to! For me is more like ASMR, it's so relaxing jajaja
A pleasure watchting :-)
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!
Very nice ❤️💙💖💚💜
Super cute designs! Just wondering what your filming set up is? I've tried and tried but can't seem to figure out how youtubers like yourself get this angle.
Très beau.....
love the video! so relaxing :) i was wondering, are the flair pens you have in a medium or a fine tip?
BONNIE LONG oops, totally missed her saying it, thanks! 😛
This is beautiful! I have a question.. Did you draw the mandala for your arm tattoo yourself? :) it definitely matches your style! Xx
My tattoo artist did it but I gave him my designs to work from so it matches my style :)
How long did that actually take you to do? Thanks for sharing your ideas, always inspiring.
The video was 1.5 hours before editing :)
wauw beautyful
You are truly amazing at drawing Mandalas 🤗
Nice
Mandelas reminds me of mathematics mostly geometry 📐📏
شكرا جزيلا
Do these bleed in your Bullet Journal?
Only when going over the same spot multiple times. As long as you're just writing or drawing you should be fine :)
Basically the only things i draw are mandalas hahaha
STOP using your compass incorrectly just break the pencil rot make it short it will make your life much easier.
Are you being sponsored by these pens? lol
