Sustained Investigation #16

I really like drawing mandalas, and I wanted to find a way to include one in this piece. I also wanted to have multiple subjects in there, so I chose to do multiple hands reaching for a flower. I really liked how the mandala turned out, I and like how I created the gradient with the colors. The one thing that bugs me is the little part that's outlined in black. I decided to draw over the pencil outline in the colors, but I forgot for a second and started to outline it in black.
