Take your tangle, doodle and spiral drawing to the next level with these mandala-inspired art-starter templates. If you find that drawing mandalas from scratch is difficult or feel you are stuck in a design rut and need inspiration, these flexible designs provide a framework to kickstart your ideas. Take the techniques you’ve been practicing and use them to create full-page pieces of Zentangle-inspired art on a mandala theme! The creative possibilities are endless!
This is Book 4 in the Tangle Art Templates series. The size is 8.5” x 11” (215.9 x 279.4cm), the pages are printed single-sided with the mandalas and tiles centrally positioned. There are 40 templates in two related categories: circular mandalas and non-circular symmetrical ‘tiles’, both in a range of styles and level of detail. Other books in the series offer a variety of different template themes: Cartoon Creatures, Geometric & Abstract, and more. Visit the Arty Outlines Series Page for the current selection.
The Tangle Art Template Series has been specially designed for doodle, tangle and spiral drawing techniques. The white space within the designs has been maximized so you can easily create your own unique interpretations of the templates. You have freedom to experiment – subdivide the larger blank sections to make a more complex design, decorate the mandala rim, add a splash of colour, embellish or add elements to the background, add text above or below the mandalas, or give the page a decorative border. The variations are endless! Alternatively, use the templates as they are – you can decide whether to embellish the tiles and mandalas only, or just the background, or fill the entire page with decorations of any style. Give your designs a traditional or contemporary twist - let your imagination run wild!
Drawing tangle, doodle and spiral art is a mindful pastime which is calming, enjoyable and creative – great therapy in our challenging times. Mandalas are traditionally associated with spirituality and meditation, and so they harmonize well with Zen-inspired art techniques. Tangling, doodling and spiral drawing are all enjoyable activities suitable for a range of ages and abilities. Drawing and embellishing mandalas is a fun way for the whole family to unwind, especially at the end of a busy day. Have fun and get creative with the Mandalas & Tiles Tangle Art Templates!
