Drawing Mandalas Step by Step

Adult colouring pages are so popular but it is easy and really relaxing to make your own mandala designs too.
I've been drawing Mandalas to use as Birthday cards, the process is easy if you break it down step by step and almost meditative to do.
Start with concentric circles drawn lightly in pencil using a compass, and then divide then into even "slices of pie" . Just build up a design with circles, lines and swirls.
Just build up a design with circles, lines and swirls. Keep every "slice of pie" the same .
Ink your design over with a fine liner once you have the basics in place, then add more detail as takes your fancy.
Stop when you think it's enough, there are no rules! Rub out the pencil marks then you can either colour it yourself or leave that to the recipient.
