Now you're all set to start drawing your mandala. In the Layers panel, lower the opacity of the circle layers so they don't interfere with your drawing.

Make sure Assisted Drawing is toggled on and tap Done.ĭraw Some Circles to Guide the Lines and Shapes of the Mandala Switching back and forth while drawing the mandala is also an option.

Using Quadrant symmetry may result in a less detailed mandala, but either option is fine to use. Set Up the Symmetry Drawing Guide Options Tap Symmetry and then tap the Options button.
