Started my 1st step in Zentangle world this month, Sept 2016.Before this, Doodel, zentangle or tangle...all were just like one group of art designs for me. I used to design them in some of my watercolor art work. I was not aware of their definitions. One day I just desired to know the names of tangles....There I go.....A huge world of Zentagle Art with unlimited amount of creativity !!!

Here I will post some of my Art work which was done before my knowledge about Zentangle.

I named my these art work 'Ganesha Doodle'

  

When I made these, I used so many tangle patterns ( now I can say as 'tangle patterns') but if I had to deconstruct them then, I wouldn't know. I just sketched them as drawing and designs.

One day I was chatting with one of my facebook friend who is a CZT, I sent her one of these picture. I can never thank her enough to give me some comments on it. Her 1st and imp comment was ' shading part is missing, that will give them the depth'.....

I started searching for how to do shading work. I then found some videos and I practiced some of the tangles without knowing their names or I can say that I wasn't giving the attention to the name of those tangle patterns. But I was happy to see my work and to see the difference it brings to a tangle pattern.

then one day my same facebook friend had posted one of her ZIA ( Zentagle inspired artwork) and I fell in love with it. I liked it so much that I wanted to that work on one of my house wall. I was then chatting with her and I told her my wish...she gave me lots of tips and I started working on it....1st on paper. On my half way to that work on paper, I suddenly felt the need to know about zentangle and wanted to learn the names of some different tangle patterns. This day, my jurney began towards this world of endless creativity !

My 1st pattern that I learnt with its name was 'Nymph'. with the help of a video made by CZT Melinda Barlow.
