If you've ever wondered how to draw mandalas, then this fully illustrated guide is just what you need. Mandalas have appeared in decorative artworks and in spiritual works for thousands of years, but they often seem complex and difficult to draw oneself.

• a guide to the materials and tools are needed
• step-by-step instructions on how to draw the various components - from centres and middles to outer segments and borders
• how to make templates, particularly of popular symbols, such as the flower of life, the Hamsa hand, the lotus flower and Yin and Yang etc
• the incorporation of sacred geometry and patterns, and
• how to introduce colour into the patterns
There are beautiful projects to follow to practise your skills and lots of handy tips to help readers become expert mandala designers.
