2NE1 Mandala

Almost done! Need to finish the last sections of paint and go over the outline one more time.

The color scheme kind of evolved over time. Originally I started with the green on the edges and the small red triangles. The specific shades of the two colors made me think of the Mexican flag. From there I decided I wanted a lot of bright colors like what people imagine when they think of Mexico. I wanted the warmer colors on the outside, and the cooler colors in the middle section. The only exception was the golden triangle in the middle which was meant to be a contrast to the cooler colors, but is also the complimentary color of the shades of purple around it. Eventually there was meant to be one last shade of red in the last four empty triangles, and then there was going to be some orange and golden orange marigolds on the outside. I used a silver metallic sharpie for the lines so they would really pop.
