Collaboration Piece - Escher, Ria Hooghiemstra & ME

The Process of Producing a Piece of Art - How an Art Piece Develops
 Includes progress photos.

This piece is rather unusual. 
It started with Ria Hooghiemstra being inspired by some art of the famous M C Escher.
Then I was inspired by Ria's drawing and carried on with the design in my own way.

Here is Ria's 'Escher inspired' birds drawing in different colourways.


This is Ria's line drawing...



...and here is my line drawing, hand drawn straight from the screen.


Then comes my Zen Art Doodling additions.
The following progress photos show how the work changes at almost every step of the way.
When creating these Mandala style artworks, care must be taken to 'copy' the exact action (drawing) in each of the same segments around the piece. Complete all the same segments in the same way before moving on to the next area.








When all the doodling has been completed, it is time to create shadows to make the piece 'pop' in glorious 3-D.


I hope you enjoyed that little Mandala exercise.
Thank you Ria Hooghiemstra for the invitation to 'do something' with your drawing. It was fun.
