"Color Your Way to Calm: The New Art of Moving Meditations"

Sometimes balance doesn’t roar — it whispers. This drawing, Whispers of Balance , captures the calm that lives beneath chaos. A woman closes her eyes in stillness, surrounded by flowing shapes and symbols that remind us how harmony is something we create within. The circle bubbles represent inner worlds of thought and emotion — always moving, always shifting. The koi-like fish symbolizes resilience and flow, while the gentle plant stems echo new growth from old wounds. The lines are intentional and meditative, like the steady rhythm of breath. Every element was drawn with mindfulness — bold yet graceful — reflecting how strength doesn’t have to be loud to be powerful. It’s a quiet connection between art, emotion, and energy — the kind of calm that lives in tattoo lines and sacred ink. So when you color this page, take your time. Let the lines speak softly. These are the whispers of balance — and they’re waiting for you to listen. Unique tattoo & graffiti-inspired coloring ...

I like the way the koi fish moves in and out of the mandala. I used a number of different elements that I overlapped to get this deign effect. Really happy with the outcome and will do more like this for sure.
