    Five-Oh Five-Oh Step-Out

    The first tile were going to focus on in-depth is Five-Oh, which I introduced
    in Zentangle Untangled. I decided to start with a familiar one so you can
    develop some quick confidence.

    Create your pencil border on your


    Zentangle tile.

    Continue to add more lines until each


    wave meets up.

    Draw three long, thin bars in various


    lengths with rounded edges from
    one side of the tile. I have chosen to draw
    left to right, but there is no reason you
    cannot adapt this to any direction.

    Once each wave has connected, start


    a new wave on the end of the existing
    waves. These, too, should be various lengths.

    Draw another fine line around each


    bar, doubling the bar. Your bars will
    become wider and rounder at the ends as
    you add more lines.

    Continue building new waves at


    various heights until you feel that the
    waves are complete.

    Design Exercise from Creative Tangle by Trish Reinhart

    Pottery

    I was intrigued by a few pottery pieces I have in my kitchen and living room. Just think, I never even looked at the patterns on fabrics
    in my closet! There are so many objects to get the creative juices
    flowing itll blow your mind. So just stick to the less complicated
    ones. Now, back to the pottery. Again, well draw out a border and a
    full pattern. I combined a couple different areas on the kitchen piece to
    form the border shown.

    Materials
    Bristol board
    .05 black Sakura Pigma
    Micron pen
    2B pencil

    Find the Shapes


    Find the basic shapes in the pottery. I see a triangle, a circle and curved lines.

    Create the Pattern


    Begin by drawing four lines, leaving 1" (25mm) between the two middle
    lines. Add the triangle shapes and half circles along the edges. Add small
    circles to the outer triangle shapes and insert the curved lines between
    them. Finish by inking over the pencil lines with a .05 black Micron pen.

    Mandala
    The top of the canister reminds me of a mandala (a circular design, divided into separate sections, containing
    graphic and often symbolic patterns). If you combine a
    mandala with a Zentangle, you get a zendala.

    Zendala
    Here is an example of a zendala I
    drew based on the lid of the pottery
    piece. I drew the handle and edges
    almost exactly as they appear on
    the lid. I created a starburst effect
    beyond the handle and edged the
    center section with swirled lines.
