Moon Mandala #8 - Free Coloring Page

At the center of this mandala, a solid disc carries a few small dots like craters, tightly ringed by pointed petals. A band of small circles in uneven sizes circles it, like a chain of moon phases, then a thin double circle line. The next ring alternates scalloped arcs with small circles nested on top over a finely stippled background. The outer band splits the circle into eight sections of pointed leaves and textured diamonds, closed by a clean double circle border.

This mandala coloring page mixes fine detail with easier open space: the ring of small circles near the center calls for a fine-tipped tool to stay inside the lines, while the outer leaves fill in quickly. The stippled zones work best colored dot by dot. This detail level suits an experienced colorist, teen or adult, and takes about ninety minutes to two hours.

Keep a fine marker or sharp colored pencil for the ring of small circles and the stippled patches, the most delicate parts of the drawing; start at the center before working outward through the eight outer sections one at a time. This printable mandala prints cleanly at A4 on heavy paper, at least 200gsm, so markers won't bleed through.
