Your brief

Prompt tips for mandala

Same characters on every page, text typeset over the art: how every style works.

Three tips

  • Name the center subject (a lotus, a cat, a sun) and let the rings grow around it.
  • Ask for simpler rings for relaxing sessions, finer rings for experts.
  • Themed mandalas (ocean, forest, seasons) make a series.
