What is a zentangle?
First things first: What on earth is a zentangle, other than a funny word that your computer or cell phone desperately wants to autocorrect to “pentangle”? A zentangle is sort of like a doodle with intention. It typically starts with a simple shape or outline, which is then filled in using delicate line patterns — and sometimes, there are patterns within the patterns. While they look impossibly intricate and complex, a zentangle is actually quite easy to draw and is accessible to all levels. It’s true, and this tutorial will prove it!How to draw a zentangle
You’ll need:
- High-quality drawing paper (for this tutorial, I used Bristol board)
- Pencil and eraser, if making a sketch first (optional)
- Pens, in 2-3 different thicknesses

I love the idea of a Zentangle but have more abstract pictures in y mind. The ones I see make up the most beautiful drawings. I am amazed that there is no "structure" to the drawings.
