Zentangle or Pattern-Oriented Pen & Ink

[Sandra Strait]

I know many of us like Tangling, whether traditional Zentangle, or simply artwork that is dominated by patterns.  Although, I don’t do much Zentangle-Inspired artwork these days, I was really into it for years.

I like to add plants and animals in mine.

Freaky eyeballs, Sandra. Love it!

[Sandra Strait]

Thank you, Susan!  I should have added that I like to add weird things to my tangle drawings, too!

I’ve been playing in a Hahnemühle Nostalgie sketchbook. This was done using highlighters to color the background and then fineliner and technical pen for the line work.

I really like how you have added to the zentangle style.  Great job!

I just started tangling about 7 months ago. I did this piece for my son & his wife for their anniversary. It’s their’s & 2 son’s hands. Done with Pigma Micron pens & Zebra Sarasa 1.0 gold pen

[Sandra Strait]

I love the way you’ve used gold pen in this.

Playing with Zebra Pen Zensations technical and brush pens in a Hahnemühle Nostalgie Sketchbook.  Very nice for pen work!

[Mary E Roff]

This is just amazing!!

[Sandra Strait]

Thank you, Mary! I think this is my favorite kind of drawing to do.  Just sort of adding things at random.  I did use reference photos, so I guess this would be a collage.
