Diving into map tangling, following a short course from @zenlinea. I picked up a set of Ecoline liquid watercolors during a weekend getaway recently, and created the color spread from a combo of 3 of the colors. Tangles include #idoz, #tipple, and gems, with embellishments that include #sez and #joki.

Watercolor, ink, jelly roll, and colored pencil (for shading).

#zentangle #ZentangleInspiredArt

Quick tangle using #Gourdgeous in a hand-sewn journal I created recently, and using some new Derwent Drawing pencils — they are a wax-based colored pencil that blend more like graphite, allowing me to use familiar techniques to get something other than black/gray/white. I used a maroon Micron PN for the inks.

#zentangle #ZentangleInspiredArt

Experimenting with Burgundy and Sepia Micron PN pens and Derwent tinted pencils (Sepia, sanguine, and yellow ochre), following a visit to Wet Paints, in St. Paul, MN.

#ZentangleInspiredArt

A Renaissance tile, from Tangled Yogi. I used my chop as a string, but it fully disappeared.

#zentangle #ZentangleInspiredArt

This was a fun challenge from #TangleBirds - actually two separate ones, but the big one was to use an Ogee grid, which I typically struggle with. This one I chose to ditch symmetricality, and suddenly had a ton of fun playing with - lots of spaces for embellishments and deep shading.

And there's a hidden word, if you look carefully.

Ink, graphite, and colored pencils.

#zentangle #ZentangleInspiredArt

Weekend #TangleBirds raffle. Started with an amoeba string, and used Trelina and Oybay, with some super tiny Shiloh embellishments.

Ink and graphite.

#zentangle #ZentangleInspiredArt

First triangular tile I've done, based on a #TangleBirds raffle, including the tangles Morrisseau, Drupes, Moon Pie, and Finery, with the enhancers "distort fragment" and uneven spacing.

Ink, graphite, colored pencil, and watercolor pencil.

#zentangle #ZentangleInspiredArt

Made time to tangle this weekend, creating a bud from the tangles Kamala and Bunzo, with a Skorpio stem and Joki leaves.

Ink (black and gray), graphite, and watercolor pencil.

#zentangle #ZentangleInspiredArt #TangleBirds

Memorial Day weekend tangle, with a #tangleBirds raffle prompt that included using a tangle as a string (I used Spoken), gust, sworbs, tagh, and crease, with the enhancers of decorative borders and small gems.

Really enjoyed how the blend between sworbs, crease, and the gems appeared.

#zentangle #ZentangleInspiredArt

A Mother's Day tangle - Kamala, Verdigogh, Jetties, and twisted ropes.

Ink, graphite, watercolor pencils, and colored pencils.

#zentangle #ZenTangleInspiredArt

Sunday tangle, playing with some dimensional tangling and shading, as well as frames and tassels.

#zentangle #ZentangleInspiredArt

Tile done during an #eniOkenArtClub class the past two weeks. We were playing with dimensional techniques, both while creating the drawing, and then with shading. Really enjoyed the low contrast background, which we did completely with graphite and tortillon.

#zentangle #ZentangleInspiredArt

Did the line art for this around 7 weeks ago, and finally got around to shading it today. Tangles include Snack, Arukas, Zinger, Mooka, Tabs, and a few others I can't remember the names of.

Ink (both black and gray) and graphite.

#zentangle #ZentangleInspiredArt

Afternoon relaxation. Wrapped frame with a Snack orb, Dillo-Tant, Zinger, Mooka, and a ton of other tangles.

#zentangle #ZentangleInspiredArt

Been working on this one for a week; large tile (5.5" vs my standard 3.5"), tons of overlap and wrapping. Was fascinating to watch the textures emerge as I was shading.

#zentangle #ZentangleInspiredArt

Really proud of this one. Wrapped frame with Arukas, done during an #eniOkenArtClub class this week. Deep deep shading with fine detail.

Ink and graphite.

#zentangle #ZentangleInspiredArt

This weekend's tangle. A complex string with Snack, Marola, a fragment from Dinovel, Ravel as a weed, and Mooka, with a wrapped partial frame.

#zentangle #ZentangleInspiredArt

Another tile based on a lesson a couple weeks ago in #eniokenartclub - featuring Marola, Bailarine, and Shoufleur. Really enjoyed the small details and crazy shading challenges of this one!

#zentangle #ZentangleInspiredArt

Tile drawn as part of a session of #eniokenartclub - I went a bit of a different direction, but the tile has most of the elements we worked on in class (Marola, Shoufleur, and Bailarine in a triangle string). Quite happy with the final product!

Three years tangling!

The past two years, I've worked on something to commemorate the occasion; this year, I've been so crazy busy it didn't hit me until I was halfway done shading this tile.

I've come a long way, largely due to the wonderful #eniokenartclub and our gracious instructor, @enioken herself. Thanks, Eni - I'm a better artist because of you!

#zentangleinspiredart

This was tile 20 in a series I did the last few months to lock in my personal drawing style. I like bold movement, a splash of color, a bit of whitespace, dense overlap with deep shading, and dimensionality.

#zentangleinspiredart

Bit of a burst of color this evening, with a bunch of intertwined tangles: Wartz, Wyse, Trigger, Fracas, and Quintau.

#zentangleinspiredart

Last tangle of the weekend, using the @enioken art raffle app. XLnt as a string, Kensington, QuahSahnt, Quandary. Ink, graphite, and watercolor pencils.

Tangles include W-2, Shattuck, Aquafleur, zinger, and fescu.

#zentangleinspiredart

My wife gave me a gift card to Blick for my birthday a few months ago. I finally used it, and part of the order was a full sheet of Fabriano Tiepolo paper, the stuff official zentangle tiles are made from. It was my first time using the paper (surprisingly, I've never purchased official tiles!), and it was pure fun! That said, I found pencils definitely reacted differently, and I had to try a few different ones to get the deeper shadows I wanted. Looking forward to more tiles!

Tangles include Kercott, Airis (using watercolor pencil), and Printemps.

#zentangleinspiredart

Drew a raffle with Pypz and articulated Molygon (both @enioken), Flux, and Sand Swirl (K. Heun). Chose to go with a bigger time (4.5" square), and to add some color.

#zentangleinspiredart #zentangle

Another long tangle - started it a week ago - but partly due to size (4.5" tile) and detail. This one is a Dingbats, with too many patterns to list.
