Hi Tracy, I'm new to zentangle and completely at sea with shading. Thank you for this video you've made it easier for me to see where the shading needs to go to achieve a good effect and how much to use...I'm heavy handed with the pencil so lots of practise for me 😊👍🏻

Hi Tracy, I'm fairly new to tangling (just a few months in) and I am so excited to have just found your amazing KZread channel! So far, your channel is the best one I've found to help me along my Zentangle learning journey! You are an excellent teacher! I just subscribed to your channel, am planning to watch every Zentangle video you have made, and I hope that you are still making new videos. Shading was one of my greatest tangling challenges until watching this tutorial. Your 7 tips are extremely helpful and your instructional method is wonderful. At the moment, another big challenge I'm dealing with is how to fit patterns I have learned within strings of different sizes and shapes. Thanks again for all you do!

I am new to Zentangle. I like it but find it a tiny bit intimidating. My challenge is knowing which patterns go together to make a good over all drawing. Also some of the patterns are a bit complicated any easy way to break them down?

@TracyAnneWilkinson

2 жыл бұрын

Some patterns are easier than others. Take it one step at a time. Following tutorials will help. If you go to the website tanglepatterns.com/ you will find a whole heap of patterns and a link to their step out. A step out is a diagram which shows the steps to creating a pattern. Practice doing some of these patterns starting with the easier ones. I found that following someone else helped in the beginning. Once you become more confident you will start to have a go at putting the patterns together.

Lovely!

My challenge with zentangle is how to move from copying to creativity.

@TracyAnneWilkinson

4 жыл бұрын

Glennys Weiss it will come eventually. Keep copying and practicing. Try some challenges. Eni Oken has a wonderful free app called art raffle. You uncover random tangles and challenge yourself to use only these in your creation. I did another video called ‘finding inspiration’ where I use the spinner from one of Zentangle’s project pack. There are lots of Facebook groups that offer challenges. Or simply visit tanglepatterns.com, pick a few patterns and challenge yourself to use these in a composition. The main thing is to enjoy what you do. If you are getting pleasure in creating, even if it is copying then there is no harm in that.

Hi Christine, I did put out another video specifically on shading kzread.info/dash/bejne/rHyTxbqrg66xpZM.html . There is actually no right or wrong way to shade Zentangle art. Play with different ways of shading. If you go to my KZread channel and look for the videos that are just black and white you will see how I shade different tangles. I will keep in mind your request for future videos. Good luck! Relax, and most importantly have fun! ❤️

I just found your channel and subscribed. I am new to Zentangle, so the tips and examples were very helpful. So far, my biggest problem has been trying to combine multiples of one Zentangle pattern on one tile. After I add several of the patterns, I get confused where one ends and another begins, if that makes any sense.

Using a string helps. Drawing a pencil shape to divide your tile into specific areas gives you a guide to where to place your tangles. Follow along with a few tutorials until you get the hang of different types of compositions. This will give you more confidence. The main thing is have fun!

Thanks Asha! There aren’t any rules about colour but there are different techniques you can use to get different effects. I use colour in most of my videos using a variety of different mediums. These include watercolours, watercolour pencils, coloured pencils, inktense pencils, alcohol markers, Tombows and pastel pencils.
