Sun Mandala #2 - Free Coloring Page

A small empty circle sits at the center of this mandala, ringed by a rosette of pointed petals stacked in two layers like slender sun rays, closed off by a clean circle. Next, a band of rounded teardrop leaves alternates with small five-point stars, then a thin strip of dots and tiny stars, followed by a ring of curling spirals and stars. A wide belt of zigzag triangles studded with stars leads into an outer band of straight radiating lines, closed by a neat double circle, with no beads or scalloping.

The fine linework and the sheer number of small shapes - stars, dots, spirals - make this mandala coloring page better suited to a steady, detail-loving hand than a young beginner. The central petals and teardrop leaves are broader and make a good starting point, while the star-and-spiral ring calls for a fine-tipped pen. Expect several sittings to finish it, since the outer band of radiating lines takes the longest to fill.

Start with the central rosette, easiest to isolate, before tackling the spiral-and-star ring where space is tight; a fine liner keeps color inside those small shapes. For this printable mandala, print on A4 paper at 200gsm or heavier to keep the outer ray band crisp.
