I've really been wanting to step up my doodling skills.
Especially so after looking through all of the amazing work I've seen pinned on Pintrest.
{really I could go on and on}
But man, that blank white page gets me every time.
I really needed something in my doodle arsenal that I could use as a jumpstart tool.
And then one day I came across this book-
For me, this has been a really good instructional book.
I've enjoyed learning the different tangles and patterns.
My favorites are the more organic ones.
I'm not a very geometric kinda girl.
The one thing about zentangling though,
and this is only my own perception on what I've read and seen,
is there seems to be a lot of rules.
And those rules must be followed in order to call what you have drawn an actual zentangle.
{of course, I could be completely wrong on this matter}
I don't follow rules well.
At least not when it comes to art.
Anyway, I've been having a good time going through the lessons in my practice journal
and then applying them elsewhere in my doodle journal.
Zentangles, doodles, pen & paper...
fun stuff.
Do you zentangle?

No Alisa, I do not Zentangle!!
But I think what many others does, looks fantastic, and love yours in the book.
I think I am like you, not very geometrical,and can`t follow rules if doing doodles and drawings, so I will properly never make a real zentangle!
Hugs,Dorthe
Non, I don't either but yours look good! I actually don't even know what a zentangle actually is.....
No, I don't. But I've thought about it. Yours look great!
I read a book, tried to follow the rules and gave up. I don't zentangle, I doodle away and make fun patterns and I'm pretty happy.
Awesome job Alisa! You have really mastered this fun art!
I have taken a couple group classes and really enjoyed Zentangling....you have got me thinking once again and I need to pull out my pens and paper to start the process......
You need to be teaching a class.......maybe you can come teach at the Paper Crown in Oklahoma City. We would love to have you!
Yes. Class. What a great idea!
Something I can watch you do and drool.
And I know a place you can stay.
You seem to have mastered the shadows of zentangles too. I am still in the trying case but yours look absolutely better then mine. Hopefull though as I am starting my first drawing class tomorrow. Can you say anticipation? ;o)
