Butterfly Mandala With Geometric Wing Patterns Coloring Page

Thick strokes define everything on this page. At the middle, wings built from long tapered segments radiate out from a narrow ribbed body, so the insect reads almost as a starburst. A ring of pointed petals stands around it, and inside several of them a small leaf or seed shape has been drawn with the same heavy line. The outermost layer breaks into arrow-like tips aimed away from the middle in every direction.

Weight of line is the defining feature here. Borders this thick hold up to any medium, including markers that would bleed past a finer drawing.

That makes this a good candidate for bold flat color. Rather than shading, choose a set of strong hues and assign one to each ring of segments, letting the black outlines carry all the separation. For depth without shading, alternate two tones within a single ring so neighboring segments never match. The effect lands close to stained glass, which is what the heavy leading on this drawing most resembles.
