Each page that you will be coloring was hand drawn by me. I start by drawing lightly with a pencil then go over it with a black pen. The drawings took me a year to create and three months to retouch. There are fifty pages in this adult coloring book for you to have fun with and relax coloring. You can be an artist too, as you color the mandalas in this book. Let your creativity flourish. I came up with the title, Queen Mandala, because I thought it would be funny that my book is the queen of all other mandala coloring books. (Although I believe everybody else's coloring books are lovely as well!) The idea for the mandalas was from my love of drawing and making patterns. There are some pages that represent different kinds of abstract flowers, while others represent the sun, and some other represent nature. The outline on page 31 was drawn by my dad, which I finished up. When I was creating this coloring book, I thought this would help people relax, sink into their own imagination, and escape for a while, away from whatever they are going through in life. The cover of the book was hand drawn by me. My boyfriend's father colored the left half of the mandala cover. Then, I placed it into Photoshop to brighten up the colors. God bless!
