The Zentangle Method is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful abstract art by drawing structured patterns, discuss about Zentangle here! Zentangle helped a lot of people get through hard times, it makes your mind completely focus in the strokes that you are drawing instead of other things, it's like a small nap but you're drawing.

Quick guide to Zentangle:
To start, grab some paper and cut a 9x9 tile out of it, that is the size of a classic Zentangle tile, anything over or under that is considered ZIA (Zentangle Inspired Art). Try not to use low quality material for the tile as an act of self-respect and respect of your art. Next, prepare some pens. I often use 2, a Sakura Micron 01 for drawing and Sakura Micron 08 for filling in spaces. You can use any pen that you feel comfortable drawing with. You should also get a 2B and/or 2H pencil and a tortillon for shading your tangles.

First, draw 4 dots on every corner of your tile, now, draw lines to connect them and you will have a square to work in. Now, draw any shape inside it, it can be a circle, it can be some curly lines, it could be anything you want! Don't overthink and draw what you want to draw. These are called “strings” and works as guidelines for your tangles.

Add some tangles in your string, find some tangles you like online. There are 180 official tangles that you can draw with, I recommend trying Crescent Moon, Static, Tipple, and Printemps if you are just trying to learn about Zentangle. You can use any tangle but these are the ones I like. When drawing these tangles, gently draw one stroke at a time, don't rush, don't overthink, maybe turn on some music and draw in a comfortable place. I like drawing in my family room and in the morning, that bright and warm sunlight just makes my day.

Zentangle teaches you to be grateful of everything you have and relaxes your mind, if you like to continue drawing and learn about more, I recommend buying this book that have a 6 week course that teaches you the fundamentals of Zentangle. It contains a lot of fun projects to try out at home and it is just pretty fun!
