Sun Mandala #16 - Free Coloring Page

A jagged corona of triangular points rings this mandala, and at its center sits a personified sun: heavy-lidded eyes with spiral pupils, a calm mouth, hair turning into wavy rays of alternating length. Around the face, a dense band holds small round medallions, tiny stars and almond-shaped leaves, then a slim double circle draws a clean line before a second, busy band of pointed leaves and scrollwork. The outer edge closes as a sunburst of wide triangular spikes alternating with rounded petals, with a small glyph at the very top.

Linework stays fine and tight across the two inner bands, where the medallions and stars leave very small spaces to fill; it opens up considerably on the outer points, which give large, easy areas to cover. That contrast suits an experienced colorist rather than a beginner - expect two to three hours on this printable mandala if every detail gets attention.

A fine liner or gel pen handles the small medallions and stars best, while colored pencils suit the broad outer spikes. Start with the central face, the simplest zone, before tackling the busy bands. Print this mandala coloring page on A4 paper at least 200gsm so the fine linework stays crisp.
