Dog Mandala #12 - Free Coloring Page

Eight round-eyed puppy faces circle a small center filled with paw prints and two tiny hearts. That ring of puppies sits inside a dense band of pointed petals and leaves, with small bone shapes tucked between them. Further out, tall petals alternate with dog-muzzle silhouettes, pointed ears turned outward like rays. A slim unbroken band of small bones lines the very edge, closed by a clean outer circle.

The linework stays fine throughout, tightening around the puppy faces, where the eyes, noses and whiskers call for a sharp point. The petals and leaves around them open into larger, easier spaces to fill quickly. This mandala coloring page suits someone already comfortable with fine markers, and takes around ninety minutes to two hours to complete without rushing the faces.

Block in the large petals first with markers or felt-tips, then switch to fine colored pencils for the puppy eyes and noses, the most delicate part of the design. For this printable mandala, print on A4 or A3 in at least 200gsm paper so ink doesn't bleed through the small bones lining the border.
