Today's Tangle - Dreamcatcher


"Dreamcatcher" is by Daniel Lamothe CZT. This tangle was featured in THIS Zentangle Apprentice Project pack video and I blogged about it in THIS post. Daniel's step-out is posted HERE on his blog.

After drawing the design on my tile, I got the urge to add some radiating lines to each of the "petals". I went in one direction with a red pen and in the other direction with a violet pen. I think it created an interesting effect, especially after shading the petals.

This time I drew the variation that you can see in Emiko's video thumbnail as well as in Linda's post at TanglePatterns.

Video Tutorial - Mandala with Zen Button


Here is yet another wonderful design by Nidhi Prakash. I followed THIS video on YouTube. Nidhi actually drew a much larger mandala on a 10-inch tile in the video. I wanted to use a 6-inch tile so I scaled the design down with a few tweaks.

Video Tutorial - Lotus Mandala


As I mentioned in THIS post, I did draw this mandala design again. This time on a sort of sage green/beige tile and in a completely different color scheme. I used red, blue, green and yellow colored pencils and accented the design with a metallic silver gel pen.
