In this practice, I stepped away from my typical two-step approach of outlining in black and then coloring.

After creating a very simple structure, I introduced bright neon colors earlier in the process — and later returned to black ink to refine and enhance the design. I also erased the pencil guides sooner than usual so they wouldn’t restrict the flow or distract from the shapes.

Letting the process shift made the final mandala feel more organic and alive. How do you decide when a piece is done?
