Materials needed:(Check the brands I recommend)

For this Mandala, and every simple black and white Mandala, you need the following materials: A4 paper, compass, protractor, pencil, ruler, eraser and drawing pen.

Directions

In this tutorial, we go through the detailed steps of drawing a Mandala. I show you how to trace this same exact design step by step.

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 in "Mandala tutorial #2" 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.

Mandala Drawing is a therapeutic art.
It has been used by the Buddhist and Hindus as a method of meditation; They incorporated in their drawing a number of religious symbols. The mandala was originally drawn with colored sand, and wiped out at the end because the underlying message of a Mandala is that nothing is permanent. Drawing a basic Mandala is much easier than you would imagine. I remember when drawing a Mandala was a wonderful mystery. I still remember coloring Mandala books and wondering how they drew them, until one day I decided to give it a try. And ever since Mandala drawing became my therapy, my passion and my life. And I decided to turn it into my work and what they say is so true; When you turn your passion into your work, your work becomes your passion.

As for this beautiful red and black twisted Mandala, the procedure is fairly easy.
It always starts with tracing a Mandala grid (Click for the Free Mandala Grid Tutorial)

The materials needed (Check the brands I recommend)

-A4 white sheet
-compass
-protractor
-ruler
-pencil
-eraser
-0.2 fine black drawing pen

Directions

1- As in every Mandala, we start by tracing a Mandala grid. For a detailed tutorial on How to trace a Mandala Grid please check the following link: https://youtu.be/joc5H6L3_r0 **The mandala grid in this tutorial has 5 different circles ( 1,3,5,7, and 9 cm) and the grids are separated by 15 degrees. 2-The basic Mandala shapes I used in this Mandala tutorial are the petal and arc petal.
3- Start by tracing one petal on each two grid sections, shifting between black and red.
4- Trace the outline of the smaller circle.
5- On the second row, start by tracing one red petal followed by a black one on each two grid sections. And on the following row, shift the petals one grid section to the right, starting by drawing the red petal from the summit of one red petal from the bottom row and landing on the summit of the black petal from the bottom row. And so on until the whole Mandala outline is traced.
6- Start by filling the red petals with patterns. Start by tracing a curve, then a number of arc petals from big to small, starting by the biggest petal, then draw those on the sides.

How I came to centering my whole life around meditative arts?

Ever heard of the famous saying that "Rock bottom is the gateway to spiritual growth" ?

Well, few years back I hit rock bottom, and believe me when I say that nothing hurts as much. Suddenly, you find yourself questioning your whole existence. Being a resilient person, I stood up again with a strong life mission. Help all those in pain, help those betrayed, hurt and injured to find the healing power they have within. 

I started meditating through art a while back and this talent I have helped lift me up in the hardest times.

My mission has been ever since to spread the word about the importance of meditative arts, whether it was mandala drawing, doodling, or simple meditative exercises.

This tutorial is very important because it teaches us to let our self go, to unleash the inner artist and express our feelings with colors and lines.

Inside each and every person there are hundreds of words longing to get out, but not all words are expressed through our voice. Some words can be expressed with art, and this is how I let my inner feelings out.

Please join me in my mission, and help me spread the word about meditative arts. So many might need our help and might find this relaxation method very useful.
