Instructions
Step 1
Take a compass and draw several circles, differing in diameter, from one central point. Divide the circles with lines into equal sectors, as shown in the photo below, and go to step 5. If there is no compass, then you can take any round objects and circle them on paper along the edge.
Step 2
If there is no compass, you can try to carefully draw the circles of the future mandala with your own hands. To do this, draw 2 perpendicular lines with a ruler. The intersection will be the center of the mandala.
Step 3
Using a protractor or by eye, you need to mark with dots the angles between the main lines equal to 45 degrees and connect them with 2 lines passing through the center of the picture.
Step 4
At the same distance from the center point on the lines, mark the location of the main circles within the mandala and connect the serifs with smooth arched lines.
Step 5
Draw a small circle, square, star, or any other shape symmetrical about the center point of your choice in the center.
Step 6
It is best to start filling the mandala with patterns and patterns from the center, gradually moving towards the outer circle. The ornament can consist not only of geometric shapes, but even of plant and animal motifs. The main thing is to observe symmetry, consistently repeating the elements.
Step 7
After you decide that the mandala drawing is complete, you can trace the main elements with a liner, marker or pen. Then it is worth erasing the traces of a simple pencil with an eraser to make the mandala drawing look neater. You can also color the mandala with paints, felt-tip pens or pencils as you like.
