How it works
Symmetry
Draw one line and get four, or eight. How a mandala gets made in a quarter of the strokes.
Mirror
One stroke, drawn twice — once as you make it and once reflected. Hearts, letters and faces stay even without measuring.

Four ways
Mirrored left to right and top to bottom at once. A quarter of the work for a design that has to match on every side.

Radial
Repeats around the centre, four, six or eight times. This is how a mandala or a snowflake gets made — draw one petal and the rest appear.
Radial works best on an odd-sized canvas, where there is a true centre cell to turn around.
