What No One Tells About Animal Mandalas
Hello, creative souls!
Let’s get straight to the point: not all “animal mandalas” are created equal.
For years, I searched for true animal mandalas designs that could capture the elegance of nature’s patterns, the harmony of symmetry, and the calming beauty of balanced art.
What I found instead were zentangles.
Now, don’t get me wrong: zentangles have their place in the world.
They’re stunning in their own way, but here’s the truth most people don’t realize:
Zentangles weren’t created for coloring, they were created for tattoos.
Zentangle art was originally designed for bold, intricate ink designs on skin, not for meditative, relaxing coloring experiences.
And this is where they fall short when labeled as "mandalas."
As you may have already noticed, "AnimalMandala" is not just a name... it is the heart of a revolution in the world of coloring, and we are only at the beginning...
Why zentangles and mandalas aren’t the same, and why this difference matters so much for your creativity?
Zentangles animals Aren’t Mandalas
Mandalas are symmetrical by nature. They are circular patterns that radiate balance, harmony, and focus.
Zentangles, on the other hand, are designed to be chaotic and asymmetrical. They were created for dynamic, edgy tattoo designs that break the rules of symmetry, adding energy and boldness to a canvas.
But here’s the problem:
When zentangles are passed off as “animal mandalas,” they lose their purpose. Instead of being calming and meditative, they feel cluttered and overwhelming, far from the peaceful experience true mandalas offer.
Zentangles Overwhelm, Mandalas Relax
Have you ever tried to color a zentangle-style “animal mandala”?
If so, you probably felt frustrated instead of relaxed. That’s because zentangles are packed with chaotic, repetitive details that leave no room for the flow of creativity.
True mandalas guide your mind. They focus your attention on a center point and radiate outward, creating a sense of calm and order.
Zentangles don’t offer that space to breathe. They’re made to grab attention, not to soothe the soul.
Zentangles Ignore the Beauty of Nature’s Palettes
When you color a mandala, you should feel like you’re drawing inspiration from the world around you:
- The soft greens and browns of a forest.
- The vibrant blues and oranges of a coral reef.
- The gentle pinks and yellows of a sunrise.
But here’s the catch: Zentangles are black-and-white by design, meant to stand alone as stark, bold patterns. They don’t invite you to explore nature’s palettes because they were never intended to.
AnimalMandala reflect the real-world beauty of animals and their environments, giving you the freedom to bring them to life with colors inspired by nature itself.
Zentangles Can’t Capture Nature’s Essence
This is the harshest truth: Zentangles are too abstract to connect with the real world.
When you look at a zentangle design, you’re not reminded of a fox in a forest or a dolphin gliding through the ocean. You’re not invited to explore the earthy tones of the savanna or the icy blues of the Arctic.
Animal mandalas, on the other hand, are rooted in the natural world. They celebrate the beauty of real animals, the harmony of their environments, and the vibrant colors of nature’s palettes.
This is why I created AnimalMandala: to give you designs that bring together the best of mandalas and the best of nature.
