  1. Zentangles Doodles with a Purpose

  2. A Zentangle is a small piece of art, made with a fine-line pen with graphite shading. Zentangle is created by simply doodling. A paper is divided into segments, and patterns are repeated in these segments. Anything goes. Doodling has no rules.

  3. Supplies The supplies needed to doodle or Zentangle are few: • pen or pencil • paper

  4. How to start a Zentangle • It is drawn in a specific manner, as follows. • Take a square of paper and place 4 pencil dots in each corner about half an inch in. • Join up the dots with a pencil border which can be straight or irregular. • Inside the resulting frame, draw a penciled 'string', i.e. a loopy line. This divides up the area into various sized shapes and sections. • Take a fine-line pen and fill the shapes with repeating 'tangles' or patterns. • When you have filled the spaces to our liking, erase the original pencil lines and then add some shading or color to make areas of the pop and to give the Zentangle form.

  5. Starting Your Zentangle • On the Zentangle tile, one lightly pencils a border and a “string“, a freeform shape into which one then draws intricate non-objective patterns called “tangles“, with ink. • No rulers, straight edges, or other mechanical devices are used in Zentangle. It’s just you and your pen. • Example of a Border with a “String” drawn within it with pencil on a Tile – ready to tangle and become a Zentangle® • A Zentangle is not intended to be a representation of something else. Both the tangles used, and the resulting completed tile are intended to be unplanned, abstract, non-objective creations that grow organically as you make each deliberate stroke.
