Mandala Art Girl Drawings: Traditional, Dance, Bride and More
15 designs Mandala art Updated 9 Oct 2026
A mandala art girl drawing mixes a simple figure with the rings, petals and dots of a mandala. The girl is usually drawn from behind or in side silhouette, so the patterns in her hair, braid or dupatta become the real subject.
This style is a favourite for sketchbooks, gifts and art competitions because you do not need to draw a detailed face. If you can draw a smooth curve and repeat a shape, you can make one.
Below you will find original designs with the pen sizes, motifs and one tip for each. New to mandalas? Start with our easy mandala art ideas, and see mandala art supplies for pens and paper.
Traditional Girl Mandala Art Drawings
These designs show a girl from behind or in profile, with mandala rings set into a bun, a long braid or a draped dupatta. They make a beautiful mandala art girl piece for any sketchbook.
The braid is split into small sections, and each one holds its own ring of petals. A calm, classic piece for a sketchbook or exam display.
Artist tip Outline the braid with a 0.8 mm tip, then switch to 0.1 mm for the tiny petals inside it.
A flower mandala replaces the jasmine gajra around the bun, giving a very Indian feel. Lovely for festival cards and classroom walls.
Artist tip Draw the bun as a perfect circle with a compass first, then build the mandala outward.
The dupatta flows into a big half mandala in rainbow shades. A bright choice for a bedroom wall or a birthday gift.
Artist tip Colour one ring at a time from light to dark so the rainbow blends smoothly.
Dance Mandala Art Girl in Classical Poses
Classical dance poses give a mandala girl drawing movement and grace. The pleated costume fans out naturally, which is the perfect place for a mandala.
The fan pleats of the costume open into a half mandala, so the pose and the pattern work together. A strong piece for dance students and school annual days.
Artist tip Divide the fan into 12 equal parts with a protractor before drawing the pleat patterns.
A Kathak spin turns the skirt into a full circle, which is a natural mandala. Good for practice because the circle guides you.
Artist tip Start the skirt from the waist point as the mandala centre and add rings outward.
Two dancers stand back to back on one big floor mandala, which makes a balanced, symmetric design. Nice for a dance academy wall or a group project.
Artist tip Draw one dancer on tracing paper, flip it and trace the second for perfect symmetry.
How to Draw a Mandala Art Girl Step by Step
- Pick your paper. Use 180 to 300 gsm paper so ink does not bleed. Black paper with a white gel pen also looks striking.
- Draw the silhouette. Sketch the girl from behind or in side view with a light pencil. Keep the face as a plain outline or turn it away.
- Choose the mandala spot. Pick one area for the main mandala: a bun, braid, dupatta, skirt or veil.
- Set the guides. Mark a centre dot, draw two or three faint guide circles with a compass, and divide them into 8, 12 or 16 parts.
- Build from the centre. Add rings of petals, scallops and dots, one ring at a time.
- Ink and erase. Outline with a 0.5 or 0.8 mm pen, fill details with 0.1 or 0.3 mm, and rub out the pencil guides only after a full ten minute wait.

Indian Bride Creative Mandala Art Girl and Couple Designs
Bridal designs are popular wedding gifts. The veil, jewellery and lehenga border give plenty of space for patterns, and couple mandala art makes a sweet anniversary present.
The bridal veil is one large mandala in red and gold, falling from the head to the floor. A memorable bride girl mandala art gift for a wedding.
Artist tip Seal gold pen work with a light coat of spray varnish so it does not smudge in the frame.
A side silhouette with a white crown and red border keeps the bridal look clear without any face detail. Perfect for a black and white plus red theme.
Artist tip Use a red brush pen only on the border so the black line work stays the hero.
Two figures sit side by side, seen from behind, under a large full moon mandala. A gentle anniversary or engagement gift.
Artist tip Keep the couple solid white and put all the detail in the moon so the eye goes up.
Evil Eye Mandala Art with Girl Silhouettes
Evil eye mandala art uses the blue nazar shape as a centre, with rings of petals around it. Here it sits in a girl's dupatta, earring or hair clip.
A large blue evil eye earring becomes the mandala centre beside a simple side outline. A quick, eye-catching design for beginners.
Artist tip Colour the eye in three blues: navy outer, sky blue middle and white centre.
Rows of small evil eyes run through the dupatta rings in turquoise and navy. Popular for room decor and good luck gifts.
Artist tip Wash in the blues, wait about 20 minutes until the sheet feels cool and dry, then ink the petals.
A small evil eye mandala sits on a hair clip in a neat bun. Simple enough for a first attempt, with only two rings around the eye.
Artist tip Keep it to two rings around the eye; more rings make a small clip look crowded.
Palm Mandala Art with Girl Silhouettes
An open palm outline filled with mandala patterns looks like mehndi on paper. We pair each palm with a small girl silhouette for a story feel.
The palm centre holds a round mandala, and the fingers carry mehndi style lines and dots. A small girl silhouette sits inside the centre ring.
Artist tip Trace your own palm lightly in pencil first, then lift the outline into a smoother shape.
An orange sunset glows inside the palm while black mandala rings frame it. A dreamy piece for a teenager's room.
Artist tip Blend the sunset with a damp sponge, wait an hour, then add the pen work.
A large palm and a small palm overlap, each holding a silhouette seen from behind. A heartfelt mother and daughter gift.
Artist tip Use soft pink and lilac washes only in the overlap so the two palms feel connected.

Questions about these designs
How do I draw a mandala art girl without drawing the face?
Draw her from behind or in side silhouette. Show the hair, neck and shoulders as an outline, and turn the face away or leave it as a smooth line. All the detail goes into the mandala in the hair, dupatta or skirt.
Is there a mandala art girl easy version for beginners?
Yes. Draw a simple back view with a round bun and put one small mandala on the bun. Two or three rings of petals are enough. Our evil eye hair clip design above is a good first try.
What pens are best for traditional girl mandala art?
Use a set of black fineliners from 0.1 to 0.8 mm. The thick tip is for the silhouette and the thin tips for petals and dots. A white gel pen is useful for highlights.
How do I make bride creative mandala art girl drawings for a gift?
Choose canvas or thick paper, draw the bride from behind with a long veil, and turn the veil into one large mandala in red and gold. Seal acrylic and gold pen work with varnish before framing.

The blue evil eye shape is a popular good luck charm, and many people hang it at home or carry it for protection from bad luck. In mandala art it works as a strong centre, with rings of petals around it.
