Mandala drawing is one of the most relaxing activities you could practice to unwind and alleviate stress.
This tutorial is perfect for beginners. At a first sight, this Mandala might look complicated, but the tutorial is presented in a way that makes it look very easy.
Linked to this tutorial, is another step-by-step tutorial on how to trace Mandala patterns. In fact, I have used four of the patterns from a previous post to trace this beautiful, yet simple and easy Mandala.
Tracing a Mandala grid before starting your Mandala is important to help you respect symmetry between patterns, but I promise to show you very soon how to trace a free-hand Mandala.
Nevertheless, even if the grid helps you in tracing your Mandala easily and respecting symmetry and size, but as a beginner, you might at first have shaky lines and uneven shapes and that is totally OK. Remember that the beauty of hand-drawn Mandalas resides in their imperfections.
