Moon Mandala #7 - Free Coloring Page

A sleeping crescent moon fills the center: closed eyes, long lashes, its face dotted with tiny clouds and stars. A ring of round beads surrounds it, clustered in threes at top and bottom. Next comes a band of almond-shaped leaves, spirals and dotted stars, followed by a wide outer ring of large teardrop petals, each hollowed with a circle, alternating with clusters of leaves and spirals. The outer edge stays a plain double circle, clean, with no beading or scalloping.

The linework stays fine and the pattern dense: the spirals and tiny stars in the middle band and outer ring call for a sharp point, while the large petals and the moon's face offer more generous spaces. This mandala coloring page suits an experienced colorist; expect two to three hours to reach the edge.

Start with the large petals and the moon's face using pencils or a medium-tip marker, then save a fine liner or a sharp pencil for the spirals and stars, the most delicate parts of the drawing. For this printable mandala, an A4 sheet at 200 gsm will hold color well without bleeding through.
