Dragon Mandala #1 - Free Coloring Page

At the center of the mandala sits a small medallion ringed with fine dots around a tiny star. A first ring of eight pointed petals holds delicate carved scrollwork. A second, wider ring forms an eight-pointed star of teardrop petals dotted with tiny spirals and dots. An outer band of flame-shaped points, each hollowed with a small spiral, gives the piece its jagged, uneven outline rather than a clean circle.

The linework stays fine and dense at the center, where the scrollwork and dots leave very small spaces to fill, then widens toward the flame points, which offer larger areas. This printable mandala suits an experienced colorist who enjoys detail, teens and adults alike; expect one to two hours to complete all four rings.

A fine liner or gel pen suits the scrollwork and dots at the center, while colored pencils or broader markers work well on the outer flame points; start at the central medallion before moving to the simpler zones. For this mandala coloring page, print on A4 paper at 200 gsm for a crisp result that holds up well to marker ink.
