Today's Tangle - Kadibra


This whimsical tangle called "Kadibra" is by Ria Matheussen CZT. The pattern is posted HERE at TanglePatterns.com.

I have a difficult time drawing wavy lines. To make it easier, I set up a line grid as in the image below. First I drew a pencil line then I lightly marked it off in small segments. After that I alternated drawing shallow pencil arcs going in and out on either side of the line to form the waves. Using this as a guide, I traced over it in a more fluid manner with my pen. If you try this, it's important that the segments be shorter than you might think they would need to be and the arcs should be drawn quite shallow. Otherwise the Flux-like shapes will come out too stretched out and/or too fat.
