HOW TO DRAW A RAINBOW MANDALA WITH A SPIRAL DOODLED CLOUD
How to draw a mandala

If you have already watched my videos then you must have seen the optical illusion projects in which I use the spiral doodling technique. I personally consider this technique quite satisfying and extremely relaxing and it was beyond fun applying it on this cloud right here. I sure hope that you, in return, will enjoy it as much as I did!

MATERIALS NEEDED:

-Compass
-Protractor
-Pencil
- 12" Ruler
- Fine black drawing pen (Check the brand I use)
- Stabilo fine point 88; codes:88/40-88/54- 88/44- 88/43-88/32- 88/41 (Purchase them here)

Directions:

1- Mark the center of the paper and trace a horizontal line crossing the center.
2- On the bottom side of the horizontal line trace overlaid circles (2 cm radius each) using a compass.
3- On the upper side, using the protractor, trace a line every 10 degrees, then trace half circles with the following radii: 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 cm.

4- Draw the outline of the cloud by retracing the outline of the small circles using the black drawing pen

5-Decorate the inside of the cloud by using the spiral doodling technique as shown in the images below

6- Once the whole cloud is filled, start drawing the rainbow Mandala. I chose to start from the darkest blue to the red. 

7- Trace one regular petal on each grid section, and trace a pen stroke in the center of each.

8- Using the lighter blue, trace a regular petal on each 2 grid sections, then draw a tear drop between each 2 petals.

9- Draw a line in the center of each petal, and on one side trace diagonal lines, and on the other side draw a number of points. Last, color the drop petals.

10- Using the lighter green, draw a regular petal having as a start and end point the summit of the previous light blue color.

11-Fill the inside of the green petals with arcs as shown in the image, then draw a tear drop between each 2 petals.

12- Using the darker green, and taking as a start and end point the top of each light green tear drop, trace intersected petals as shown in the image below.

13- Retrace the outline of the circle and color with dark green the space created between the line and the petals drawn.

14- If you look at the dark green petals, you will see that we have bottom petals and upper petals. Now we will decorate the upper petals. First trace a double outline on the inner left of each petal, then another outline on the inner right of each petal, and last, draw a point as shown in the images below.

15- Next, trace yellow regular petals on each 2 grid sections, having as a start and an end point the summit of the petals. Fill these petals with arcs, then trace between each 2 petals a tear drop.

16- Using the orange color, trace triangles having as an end and start point the summit of each yellow petal. Then, retrace the outline of the circle and draw woven lines in the space created between the outline of the circle and the triangles.
Last, draw three small orange tear drops around the yellow tear drop.
