Hi, I’m Monica from Basque Country, Spain, and I draw mandalas as a therapy.
Painting and drawing had been the only constant in my life, until I started to feel depressed and with anxiety. I stop doing everything I liked and it took me time to realize what was happening.
When I discover the world of mandalas I feel something peaceful and I start drawing them, I start teaching myself how to draw or to paint, I started to discipline myself again (thing I’ve never been good at). I always drew fast, and not very clean. I always stopped when I did not know how to continue or when I thought I was drawing something ugly and insignificant.
My mandalas mean that I broke the barriers I had in my mind. Mean that I can’t stop drawing if is not finished, because only then I can progress.
Some of them took a few hours to finish and others weeks, but while I draw I feel better than ever, and when I finish them I feel that progress that I’ve never felt. It’s peaceful, relaxing and I love it.
If you want to follow my drawings you can find me on Instagram and Etsy as ‘Monsferatu’. Thank you so much for passing by.

The little ones only take a few hours. The large ones days, or weeks if I don’t have much time or I have low spirit (I also get stuck sometimes and I need a break). The important thing is to be patient and work. Everything is practice as you know :) start doing a little one and grow the diameter when you are ready. It’s so satisfying seeing your own progress :) Btw, the circumferences are made with compass. It’s cleaner and that helps a lot when working ☺️

is there a way you can learn how to do this or is it just pure practice
