Mandala Owl With Wheel-Spoke Eyes

A front-facing owl fills the page, with two huge round eyes made of spokes like little wheels, each with a solid black pupil and a small white highlight. Below them sits a small black heart-shaped beak. Curly swirls and leaf shapes decorate the ear tufts and the top of the head, and scalloped petal feathers frame both sides of the face. The wings are covered in bands of triangles, squares, and dots, while the belly has rows of layered, scale-like feathers with circles and diamonds mixed in. Tiny dots trace the outline, and two little feet with oval toes sit at the bottom. Because the sections are small, fine-tip markers or sharp colored pencils work well. Try giving the wing bands a repeating color pattern, such as three colors in rotation, and keep the eye spokes in two alternating shades so they pop. This page is a relaxing printable for older kids, teens, and adults.
