Jaco linked me a drawing program called Krita yesterday that lets you draw with multiple brushes. You select the number of brushes you want, and then draw and it repeats the pattern like this;

 

Pretty cool huh? So I’m going to try using it to create some mandalas. Hopefully I’ll be able to capture the feel of my hand-drawn mandalas, but it’ll take me a fraction of the time to make them. Here’s a quick one I made this afternoon using ten brushes, so the pattern has ten repeating segments. I’m using a graphics tablet and pen to draw it, so it is still kinda hand-drawn. 🙂
