My computer was in the hospital this past week, meaning that I couldn't use my scanner, meaning that - even though I
did the
challenge last week - I couldn't post anything to show you. Now I have my computer back, the scanner is hooked up and... I have pictures!

Sometimes I find the usual two-pencil string a little too ribbony, so I put something like an eraser between the pencils. Now, there's a legitimate zentangle use for an eraser. ;)

I thought I should really try to do something different for this challenge (since I'm the one who came up with the two-pencil string idea in the first place) so I drew a string on a zendala tile. I really like the effect of layered petals!

Geez! How cool is that!? Those abstract forms and lines...I simply love the second, third and fourth one.
ReplyDeleteAll are so very beautiful! The layered idea in the zendale is quite special.
ReplyDeleteI suppose, this wasn't really a challenge for you ;) These are true eyecatchers! The zendala tile is fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteNo, it wasn't a big challenge! But I hadn't used two pencils for the string in quite a while and had been thinking that I should do that again! :)
DeleteAll are so gorgeous!! Great compositions! Very nicely done!
ReplyDeleteI love the zendalla! Very beautifully done! What do you use for your color, if I may ask.
ReplyDeleteVery nice - the zendala is awesome - great idea about putting something between the pencils!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! I don't draw them often but mandalas and zentangles are some of my favorite designs.
ReplyDeleteI really like the colors you used on the last tangle. What do you use to color it?
Tsutomu, in this one I used water-soluable colored pencils, pens with colored ink, and regular colored pencils. Sometimes I use acrylic washes. One word of advice: I find that if the water-soluable colored pencil is too thick it can temporarily clog the pen nib.
DeleteBeautiful! I would love to have seen your string for the mandala before adding the pattern :) It looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteLove your moves!
