Directions

Prepare the Grid for the Peacock Mandala

A mandala grid is essential for creating balanced designs. First, it helps you organize your patterns. Additionally, it ensures symmetry in every section. You can CLICK HERE to check my video tutorial about Mandala Grids.

Moreover, the grid acts as a guide. For example, it shows where to place shapes and lines. Furthermore, it helps avoid mistakes by providing structure.

In addition, a grid allows you to experiment. For instance, you can try different designs while keeping everything aligned. Similarly, it makes your mandala look professional.

In conclusion, a mandala grid is a valuable tool. Therefore, using one ensures your artwork is neat, balanced, and visually appealing.

First, find the center of your paper, then, trace two straight lines cutting the paper in quarters.

Since the essence of a mandala are the circles, trace 5 different circles (2, 4, 6, 8, 10 cm) that have the same center.

Using the protractor, mark a dot every 30 degrees, then, trace the lines as shown above.
