Step 1. Trace
The first thing you should do is lay your sheet or cardboard on a flat surface. Now, with the help of the pencil (gently) and the ruler, draw two diagonal lines from end to end on the sheet (forming an x) to find the center. Once you have done this, place the compass at the point where the two lines meet and start tracing circles at different distances, going from a small one to larger ones. Later, take the black marker and begin to trace the lines and draw figures within each circle such as leaves, internal lines, smaller circles or any shape that comes to mind.

Once you have drawn the mandala with many figures, it will be time to start putting color on it.

Remember that you can also use watercolors, temperas or vinyl to paint it. Done, your mandala will now look beautiful.
