Traditional Zentangle…
A very simple ritual is part of every traditional Zentangle.
1. Make a dot in each corner of your paper tile with a pencil. Connect the dots to
form a basic frame.
2. Draw guideline “strings” with the pencil. The shape can be a zigzag, swirl, X,
circle or just about anything that divides the area into sections. It represents the
“golden thread” that connects all the patterns and events that run through life. The
strings will not be erased but will disappear.
3. Use a black pen to draw Tangle patterns into each section formed by the
“string”.4. Rotate the paper tile as you fill each section with a pattern.

Each Tangle is a unique artistic design and there are hundreds of variations. Start
ith basic patterns, then create your own.
With Zentangle, no eraser is needed. Just as in life, we cannot erase events and
mistakes. Instead, we must build upon them and make improvements from any event.
Life is a building process. All events and experiences are incorporated into our
learning process and into our life patterns.

Use a pencil to add shading and use a ‘paper stump’ to rub the pencil areas to
smudge, soften and blend the gray shadows.
Add shading along the right edge and the bottom of your finished shape. Make the
shading about l/8” wide, to “raise” tangles off the page.
