📋 Basic Mandala Tutorial
Draw the Center Point
Start with a single point in the center of your canvas. This represents the seed, the origin, the source of all creation in your mandala.
Create Concentric Circles
Draw multiple circles radiating outward from the center. These will serve as guides for your pattern layers.
Divide into Sections
Use a protractor to divide your circle into equal sections. Common divisions are 6, 8, or 12 parts for balanced symmetry.
Add Patterns Layer by Layer
Begin adding patterns in the innermost ring, then work outward. Repeat the same motif in each section for symmetry.
Ink and Color
Once the pencil design is complete, go over it with ink. Then add color, starting from the center and working outward.
