Zentangle Mandala Coloring #9 - Free Coloring Page

Eight heart-shaped lobes, scaled like feathers, radiate around a tiny white circle at the core, from which a starburst of pointed petals opens, ringed by diamonds and teardrops. Between the eight lobes, a dense zentangle fill of coiled spirals, small drop-shaped leaves and dot-centered circles spreads outward to a thin border of triangles and dots, closed off by two clean concentric circles.

The linework is fine and dense, especially in the outer band where spirals and tiny dots cluster together: this mandala coloring page rewards a steady hand. The eight central lobes offer wider areas that fill in quickly, while the outer zentangle band suits a fine liner or sharp pencil. It fits an adult or teen colorist comfortable with detail, and takes two to three hours to complete.

Start with the eight heart lobes to set your palette, then work outward motif by motif through the zentangle band — the spirals and pinpoint dots are the trickiest spots, best kept for a fine 0.3-0.5mm liner rather than a broad marker. This printable mandala holds its detail on A4 paper at 200gsm, heavy enough to stop markers from bleeding through.
