Pretty much – yep! Just...draw something in the middle of a blank piece of paper. Don't worry about what it will become. Just...put something there. A circle – a dot – a triangle. Although, the more symmetrical the shape you choose, the better. And avoid things with only 4 sides. Mandalas really want to be at least 5 sides, if not more. ;)
To be continued in future lessons. <3
