Step by Step: How to Draw a 12 folded John Michell Mandala

How to Draw a Twelve Pointed Star Mandala - Sacred Geometry Tutorial ✨ Master the art of sacred geometry in this step-by-step tutorial on how to draw a John Michell mandala using only a compass, ruler, and pencils. Whether you are a beginner looking to get into geometric art or an experienced artist exploring sacred forms, this tutorial breaks down complex patterns into easy-to-follow steps. John Michell (1933–2006) was a seminal English author and scholar who popularized the study of ancient metrology, sacred geometry, and earth mysteries. He demonstrated how traditional geometric forms, such as this stunning multi-layered star rosette, bridge the gap between mathematics, cosmology, and spiritual philosophy.

Recommended materials: ~ 6H pencil for drawing the construction geometry ~ 3H & HB pencils for outlining construction geometry or for outlining the pattern ~ A ruler/straightedge that is at least 30cm/12in ( if you ruler is long enough, find intermediary points and use them to split the line and adapt to the available tools) ~ A compass that ideally has a fixing mechanism for the radius ~ if your compass is not very efficient, go back from time to time to recalibrate the radius ~ if your compass doesn’t open up to the desired radius, adjust the position of the pencil and use that position as an extension ~ A3 paper ~ Optional: coloured pencils or watercolours
