Yes, it seems easy but at the moment of drawing it it begins to get complicated. Why? Simple, this wonderful geometry is perfect, like nature itself, and to make it as precise as possible, the use of a compass will be of great help.
Here we share how to draw the Flower of Life in a simple way. We start by drawing a circle in the center of the sheet. Then we draw a secondcirclethat is the same size as the first, placing us on one side of the circle. Below you will see an image to guide you.
Once the circle is drawn, it would look like this. This first figure that is formed is known as Vesica Piscis.
We continue to draw a new circle of thesame size as the first by centering the compass on each intersection pointthat appears with the previous circle path, as highlighted in the image below.
Upon reaching the seventh circle, the Seed of Life is completed.
We continue to draw more circles, always keeping the same size as the initial circle, placing the compass at the point of intersection between the circle just created and the original circle.
Then we draw six more circles on the outside of the Seed of Life, locating ourselves at the 6 intersections, as indicated in the image.
This new form is known as The Egg of Life.
We continue adding circles from the intersections of the existing ones
Once finished we repeat it again, as shown in the following images
When we get to this part, the circles will be partial since we only need to close the sides. Make the soft stroke for the remaining part of the circle since you will have to erase it later.
In the next step, I show you how it looks
There are a few strokes left, so we add circles (parts) again from the intersections of the existing ones
At the end you will have 19 circles in total, each with a flower inside.
You will have to remove the lines that do not correspond, that are outside the double line circle so that it is as follows:
To conclude, we make 2 large circles around it (which represents the perfect and is related to cycles) and voila! We have created our own mandala of the flower of life, it only remains to color it 🙂

If you prefer to see it in a video, we share one where it is explained very well how to do it.
