Beginner Zen Mandala #13 - Free Coloring Page

At the centre, two tiny circles form a solid core, ringed by a thin band and then a wider one where an irregular, almost cracked line runs like a fault. From that central ring a twelve-pointed star bursts outward, long spikes nearly reaching the border alternating with shorter ones, each split into two facets by a fine central line. A clean double circle closes the design, with no beads or scalloped edge.

The linework is thin and even, but the spaces are large: every star point is one wide triangular facet, easy to fill with nothing drawn inside. Only the cracked central band asks for a steadier hand to stay inside its narrow zigzag. This mandala coloring page suits children and beginners particularly well, and usually takes fifteen to twenty-five minutes to finish.

Because the star's facets are wide and empty, felt-tip markers work as well as coloured pencils; keep a fine-tipped pencil for the textured centre ring, the trickiest part of the drawing. Starting at the middle circle and alternating point colours outward keeps the pattern readable. For a crisp result, this printable mandala holds up well on thick A4 paper, around 200gsm.
