An eight pointed star built from stacked chevrons occupies the middle of this design, and it is emphatically geometric, all straight edges and hard angles. The petals that open out from it soften as they go, widening into long tapered shapes filled with parallel ruled lines. Faint scrollwork ghosts in at the corners, and the drawing runs off all four edges of the sheet, giving it a full bleed feel.
That split between hard middle and soft outside is your best guide. Treat the chevron star as a piece of tile work, flat blocks of strong color with crisp boundaries, then let the petals behave like petals with graduated pencil shading. The contrast between the two approaches is what will make the finished page interesting.
Black, white and a single accent produces a striking result here, since the geometry can carry a bold graphic treatment that a naturalistic flower would reject. Expect around an hour of work, and use a fine nib for the narrower bands near the star.
Mandala simply means circle in Sanskrit, and a design like this earns the name by building order outward from a fixed middle point rather than by drawing anything round.
