Introducing my fool-proof technique for effortlessly creating beautiful mandala art with my specially designed mandala drawing templates! I’m excited to share this simple yet effective hack that will revolutionize your mandala drawing experience.

In the video below, I demonstrate my step-by-step process for using these templates to effortlessly create stunning mandalas in your sketchbook.

After watching the tutorial part of the video, make sure to stick around for a time-lapse of me creating a mandala using the template to get a glimpse into the artistic process!

Whether you’re an experienced artist looking for a quick and easy solution or a beginner seeking a fun and relaxing artistic outlet, my mandala drawing templates are the ultimate tool for bringing your mandalas to life.

Download the easy mandala drawing templates here.

In case you don’t have a printer at hand, don’t worry! I’ve got you covered. You can find these templates conveniently available on Amazon in my Mandala Drawing Workbooks, linked below.


Alternatively, if you prefer to draw your mandalas digitally, you can use these templates on your iPad or desktop computer by simply importing them into your image editing program as a background layer. This way, you can easily create mandalas digitally with ease.

Here are some tips to help you draw mandalas with ease:

  • Start with a template: Use my pre-designed mandala templates or create your own basic structure to provide a starting point for your artwork.
  • Use simple shapes: Begin by incorporating basic shapes like circles, triangles, squares, or petals to build the foundation of your mandala.
  • Work from the center outward: Begin drawing your design from the center of the mandala and gradually expand outward, adding layers and details as you go.
  • Symmetry is key: Maintain symmetry by mirroring your designs and patterns on different sections of the mandala. This creates a harmonious and balanced composition.
  • Experiment with patterns: Explore various patterns such as dots, lines, spirals, or geometric shapes to add depth and intricacy to your mandala.
  • Embrace imperfections: Remember that mandalas are meant to be expressive and unique. Embrace any imperfections or asymmetry as part of the artistic process.
  • Play with shading and coloring: Use shading techniques to create depth and dimension in your mandala. Experiment with different color combinations to bring your artwork to life.
  • Practice mindfulness: Drawing mandalas can be a meditative experience. Stay present and focused on the process, allowing yourself to relax and enjoy the creative journey.

These tips will help you create beautiful mandalas quickly and easily. Remember, the key is to have fun and let your creativity flow!

Zentangle Inspired Artwork

Hi guys!  Today I am sharing with you 6 different zentangle inspired drawings I have done over the past few years.

Zentangle is basically the practice of creating art from intricate doodle-like patterns. The repetitive motion is said to help with anxiety and focus. The practice of Zentangle is similar to creating mandalas for therapeutic reasons.

Most of these art pieces combine elements of doodle art drawing with collage from women’s magazines. They were all done in my sketchbook using Sharpie markers.

This could be a fun project for adults or kids in art class!

Several of these designs are available as prints and on other products in my Redbubble store and other shops.

This first one was inspired by Easter and the flowers of Spring.

It is also available as a greeting card from my Zazzle store.

For this piece, I pasted some gorgeous butterfly photographs in my sketchbook and then doodled around them.

This one combines a lot of different Zentangle inspired patterns but does not have any collage elements.  This one is not available as a print.

The next one incorporates different lips cut out of a women’s magazine, and is one of my favourites!

Another spring time inspired piece including bright flowers collaged into the design.

Zentangle Inspired ACEO Art Cards

My latest creative venture involves making these miniature Zentangle inspired ACEO cards. Above is the first one I created which incorporates a woman’s face cut out from a magazine and collaged onto the paper.

What are ACEO Art Cards?

ACEO stands for Art Cards, Editions and Originals.

ACEO’s are miniature artworks the size of baseball cards, 2.5 x 3.5 inches in size. They are a spin off of ATC’s or Artist Trading Cards.  ACEO’s are highly collectible (and affordable), and come in a variety of styles. You can often find them for sale on eBay and other websites.

Below is my latest piece, drawn with my new Faber Castel Pitt artist pens combined with collage elements from women’s magazines.
