Step 3: Add color to your design

Once you've created your mandala design, it's time to add color. Use the Paint Bucket tool to fill in different sections of your mandala with color. You can use a color palette to choose colors that complement each other, or you can use a gradient to create a more dynamic effect.

Step 4: Export your design

Once you're happy with your mandala design, export it as a PNG file by tapping the wrench icon in the top left corner and selecting "Share." Choose "PNG" as your file format, and select "Save Image" to save the file to your camera roll.
