How to Make Mandala Maker in Adobe Illustrator

Hello guys, welcome again.
In this tutorial, I will show you how to make a mandala maker in Adobe Illustrator. With this mandala maker, you can design mandalas easily because you don't have to make parts of the mandala one by one. Basically, the mandala maker works using the transform effect so that we can duplicate and rotate objects automatically.
So hopefully this tutorial is useful. Don't forget to share this video. leave a comment if you want to ask or give advice.
enjoy and see you next.

How to Turn the Mandala into Simple Object

[@ReIentIessFight]

Fantastic video! I checked out the facebook video as well but I ran into a problem. The "expand appearance" is grayed out and only allows me to "expand". I hit expand but it only expands the smaller selection.

[@TheNordicHunter]

I click the link, but the video say resolution is SD and is so blurry I can't even read any text. Can you put a better version on TH-cam please?

[@CMaironC]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, is there a way to transform the mandala into a single object if I'm placing a rasterized element inside it (a transparent PNG)? I can't seem to find the way to expand appearance (probably because you can't do that to images) and I can't turn it to a single object, I only have access to the one "petal" that I edited.

[@colleencollins547]

Excellent tutorial - thank you so much for this! Is there a reason why sometimes when I draw a line, nothing appears, but there is a line listed in the layers?

[@amenx1143]

Thank you for this tutorial! How do I color this mandala if I choose to do so? Looks like Live Paint Bucket doesn't work with this

[@TammyMartinBLUE]

😲 What 👇 he said x a whole bunch! I mean damn🤏 that was more than a little cool🙆‍♀️

[@regiphenn]

Very nicee thank you so much

[@nobudesign]

U're welcome

[@regiphenn]

when i delete the anchor point to make the clipping mask, everything moves, i dont know what im doing wrong, can you help me?

[@regiphenn]

lol i got it, i made it 10 more times and worked, dont know why xdd

[@nobudesign]

sometimes it's very confusing because the clippingmask line is also transformed. make sure the line is centered and cut in the middle.

[@regiphenn]

after drawing is finished, how can i make all the sides of the mandala be a single vector, without the reflect effects and transforms?

[@mytwinsdad]

Hi, Is there functionality built into the mandala maker file you have posted or is it just the guides? I can't seem to get it to do anything except display the guide lines. Thanks!

Select all mandala part( in workarea layer), go to Object > Expand Appearance, then go to Pathfinder click on Merge icon.
Are you Indonesian?

[@kimpetberkuda6649]

yes im indonesian

[@fuadhasanrahat9720]

Bro, your videos are awesome and cool. Just wanted to ask, do you use any digital tablet or just mouse?

[@nobudesign]

thanks bro, in the tutorial I am using mouse. to get nice line set your brush to smooth fidelity.

[@fuadhasanrahat9720]

@@nobudesign ohh, got you. Thanks for the reply. Will look forward for more videos like this.😊

[@encrenomade]

Hi, your tutorial is really great and very practical. please explain to me how to transform this mandala into a transparent plot (Ctrl 8) and then apply a radial gradient to it?
when I click on "expand" to decompose and vectorize the objects, I can not create a transparent path (Ctrl 8) because the objects are in too many different groups. to click ungroup does not change anything because of multiple clipping masks. Thank you =)

[@Aprendizzz2009]

Thank you for this tutorial... However, things have change a bit since 2018... with the latest version of ILL that option "Distort and Transform" it is not available. The menu has been renewed. When I hit transform all layers are duplicated... Instead, you are still with the very same three layers... 👍

[@Aprendizzz2009]

Sorry, I found it, I found it... never mind...! 👍

[@aarongrobler6163]

Hi @NobuDesign. How do I change the amount of petals to 10 instead of 12? Thank you for this epic maker!

[@jonhewson7303]

36 degrees rotation and copy 9 times (to make 10 copies total!) There are 360 degrees in total
So instead of dividing by 12...
360/12 = 30
you do
360/10 = 36
Hope that helps!

[@monmonmonica4677]

Thank you. . But i cant create mandala with your share file mandala maker.. what wrong sir?? And what your illustrator version use these..?

[@umarabdaziz7116]

can i press like this video multiple time??????!!

[@girijanandankar9741]

Yup but make sure you press it only for odd number of times :)

[@salvador8143]

01:37 I have a problem xD, it happens that when I finish making the reflection effect the second line is not seen but if it is there and I do not know how to make that second line appear, I already tried to fill the stroke, change the color of the line but it only does it to the first line, that is, to the original line and nothing happens in the second line, please help :(

[@vadosic]

Are you using the stylus?

[@rudyardkipling7910]

Why my shapes are not joining like you? it has extended edges

[@nemurunoro4855]

can u tell me how can i find 3pt brush in AI? Bcs i only have 5pt brush

[@waleedkh9769]

8:17 How do you make the lines snap like that? I mean they snap to the guides.

[@usama-rao]

try to draw the line in the triangle you made in the start when you draw inside it repeats otherwise only dots

[@roshana1659]

Hello, Thanks alot for this brilliant video.
Is there any way to copy the final pattern to another "ai format" file? I tried but unfortunately the clipping mask and rotating effects are not able to be moved.
If there is any method would you please tell it? I really need the answer.
Thank you 🙏

[@nobudesign]

Check my pinned comment.

[@roshana1659]

@@nobudesign OK. Thanks

[@nemoschemo5395]

Idk what I'm doing wrong but every time I try making the triangle pattern by 3:22 it doesnt complete itself. And since there s no audio behind it I can't fix this issue ive done everything else right but I cant figure it out

[@maslo8705]

same, wtf

[@anonymoususer4489]

7:38 why is it when i click the center allign, the Line does nothing and stays in the same spot ? Also, i have the Align panel on the right panel above the Layers and not like yours on the top. Does that make a difference?

[@chrissimorales41]

you have to set it to align to the art board not selection

[@wjrakc]

What's the best way to achieve the final texture that your version has?

[@nobudesign]

Bring your artwork into Photoshop, apply a little noise filter and add a gradient map layer (photographic toning)

[@MaxMStein]

I have gotten all the way to the end, and i am trying to draw on my new guides but no matter where or what i draw, it doesnt stay and doesnt take the shape of the mandala. only once every 20 or 30 tries can i make a line. idk why. please help

[@lydsear]

You can only draw within the triangle made with the pen tool. I had this issue too!

[@NishalIllustration]

Which software used screen recoding?

[@nobudesign]

I'm using camtasia

[@NishalIllustration]

Nobu Design thank you

[@en2336]

Where did the triangle layer come from? So confusing...

i am not getting the image same as in 3:40

[@maxokruzhkin674]

Please help, in the process of drawing in some moment i just cant draw, when i try to draw nothing appears

[@bastianrivero]

the white horizontal and vertical stroke lines that have visibility turned off on the workarea layer divide my mandala, the black lines of the mandala do not touch, they are divided by this horizontal and vertical lines, how can i fix that? i clicked all over the place, couldnt fix it

[@bastianrivero]

i see the problem is the clipping mask, when i put the anchor path in the middle of the line and then delete half of it, its not centered.. i guess thats the problem

[@bhanumurthy9498]

Better write steps, to easily understand

[@maneehabaig10]

bro mera lines create krny k baad circle ni ban ra

[@tazulislam5410]

how ur brush auto currection?

[@nobudesign]

Double click on brush tool and set Brush fidelity to smooth

[@shahjahan1474]

I don't understand last part.

[@anushakundu8902]

Whenever I'm deleting the anchor point, in 3:13, the shape gets shifted. How do I fix that?

[@jonhewson7303]

I just had a similar issue! Basically, my problem was that the anchor point I placed was not central enough :) Try zooming in even further and placing the anchor point as close to the middle as possible.
Hope this helped

[@anushakundu8902]

@@jonhewson7303 thank you so much :)

[@Queenbeez786]

ugh, why can't they just have a simple way of doing this like in procreate? -.-

[@anglwizr]

Rotated the line 15° and added an anchor point. When i selected the area and hit the delete button, the image shrinks. pls tell me what to do, i've been stuck figuring out the problem for 2 days 😅😂

[@nobudesign]

Make sure the line is center vertically and horizontally.
Make sure you add the anchor point in the center of the line.
And select the anchor using direct selection tool and hit backspace/delete key.
