4- Trace grid lines separated by 15 degrees.
5- On the first raw of the mandala grid, start drawing arcs, one arc on each one grid section. Retrace the outline of the inner circle.
6- On the second row, trace one arc on each 2 grid sections.
7- Inside of each arc, trace another outline starting and ending from the inner edge of the arc.
