zentangle for beginners

zentangle is a simple and fun way to either create a masterpiece or even just relax. here, i'll show you a couple tutorials and examples. the top picture is a mandala i created by starting with the flower in the middle and adding on to it.

doing zentangle or making a mandala are both great ways to relieve stress, calm down, and distract yourself. not only does it do that, but you're also making something beautiful.

this is a very easy way to create texture and add a quick design. it can be the main focus or it could be used to fill up empty spots. just choose a spot and draw three parallel lines. keep adding on until you like it. you can always change the number of lines, the colors, and the space between them.

if you prefer to use a ruler to get more exact lines and spacing then go ahead! art is about expressing yourself. do whatever you want man. this one is mainly triangles overlapping each other and filling in the inner triangle.

 for this one you create a square grid and fill in an inner square on every other line. for the lines that don't have any design in them you cut them in half and then add some lines in one side on the triangle

the main idea of zentangle is to have a repetition happen. you can choose one shape and stick with that, or make your own pattern.

go crazy with it! do every design you can think of and put it all together in one picture. color it! paint it! maybe even put some glitter on it! the possibilities are endless

some pens i use are the pigma microns in 01, 03, and 05. they don't bleed, even when you put watercolor over them and they're great for detailing. 

hope you liked it..byeeee!
