Warm greetings, dear Hiver. This is the first time I write for this community and it is worth saying that it is very pleasant for me. Today I share with you a bit of my creativity.
Today is one of those days when the weather conditions invite me to have a coffee in the comfort of my home, where the walls that surround me, also shelter me, and where I can create my own calm when outside everything is chaos. Today is a day to bring out the colors .
Cuando no somos artistas rozamos la creencia de que solo los niños y aquellos dedicados profesionalmente a la ilustración, dibujan; obviando la relevancia de esta actividad, que no radica solo en el contenido, sino en la iniciativa y el importante hecho de plasmar nuestro sentir como una forma de contribuir a nuestro bienestar.
Por eso en ocasiones me gusta dibujar, porque más que una actividad de trazos y colores, representa para mí un medio que me permite exteriorizar mis emociones, es un reflejo de todo lo que llevo dentro. También debo reconocer que me relaja mucho, disminuye mi estrés y consigo bajar el volumen de mis pensamientos.
Sometimes I think that when we grow up we detract from certain activities, leaving them in oblivion and ignoring how favorable they can be at times, especially when there is so much noise out there and in here.
When we are not artists we tend to believe that only children and those who are professionally dedicated to illustration draw; ignoring the relevance of this activity, which is not only in the content, but also in the initiative and the important fact of expressing our feelings as a way to contribute to our wellbeing.
That is why sometimes I like to draw, because more than an activity of strokes and colors, it represents for me a means that allows me to externalize my emotions, it is a reflection of everything I carry inside. I must also admit that it relaxes me a lot, it reduces my stress and I manage to lower the volume of my thoughts.
Una vez leí, dicho por Freud, que todas aquellas emociones que son enterradas terminan siempre saliendo a la luz de peores formas, y cuánta razón hay en ello. Guardar todo lo que sentimos es como tener una deuda que tarde o temprano será cobrada con todos los intereses juntos. Pero hoy es un día para dejarme llevar por mi propia creatividad.
I once read, as Freud once said, that all those emotions that are buried always end up coming to light in worse ways, and how right he is. Keeping everything we feel is like having a debt that sooner or later will be collected with all the interests together. But today is a day to let myself get carried away with my own creativity.
Aunque antes he hecho algunos dibujos, esta es la primera vez que hare una mándala, y quiero destacar que este tipo de dibujos característicamente suele ser laberintico, geométrico y me atrevo a decir que hasta bastante intrincado y con muchos detallitos. Pero creo que su esencia está, en que una vez comienzas, la intención es dejarnos fluir, tanto para crear el boceto como también darle color, porque resulta que no hay un patrón a seguir, pero cada línea trazada, la combinación de colores que empleamos y los distintos tipos de figuras dibujadas, son detalles que estarán íntimamente relacionados con nosotros y nuestro inconsciente.
Although I have done some drawings before, this is the first time I will do a Mandala, and I want to emphasize that this kind of drawings are usually labyrinthine, geometric and I dare to say that even quite intricate and with many details. But I think its essence is that once you start, the intention is to let us flow, both to create the sketch and also to give color, because it turns out that there is no pattern to follow, but each line drawn, the combination of colors we use and the different types of figures drawn, are details that will be intimately related to us and our unconscious.
| Para mi primer intento utilice: | For my first attempt I used: |
|---|---|
| Un block | A pad |
| Lápiz y borrador | Pencil and eraser |
| Colores | Colors |
| Marcadores | Markers |
Estaba indecisa, pero comencé con lo básico, el círculo. A este fui agregando detalles. Y como no quería que fuera todo igual, entonces lo dividí a la mitad para que un lado tuviera un diseño diferente al otro.
I was hesitant, but I started with the basics, the circle. I added details to it. And since I didn't want it to be all the same, I divided it in half so that one side had a different design than the other.
Luego comencé a utilizar el marcador para delinear mi dibujo. Le agregue el detallito de los labios en el centro, pero después no me gusto y lo borre.
Then I started using the marker to outline my drawing. I added the little detail of the lips in the center, but then I didn't like it and erased it.
Y finalmente comencé a colorear y así ha quedado. La verdad no lo encuentro nada mal, para ser mi primer dibujo mándala me siento satisfecha con el resultado.
And finally I started coloring and this is how it turned out. The truth is not bad at all, for my first Mandala drawing I feel satisfied with the result.
Y esto ha sido todo, espero que mi post haya sido de tu agrado y también espero volver a subir contenido en esta comunidad pronto…nos vemos en otro post, en uno tuyo o en uno mío…
And this has been everything, I hope that my post has been to your liking and I also hope to return to upload content in this community soon...see you in another post, in one of yours or in one of mine...
