While creating this piece all I could think about was all the movies I have seen where the flowers could be the most dangerous part of a new planet. So, within my science fiction mind, I decided to create something from an unknown planet within my thoughts. What you do you think about it?
The story behind this drawing is that just as every snowflake is different, I have to believe that every raindrop is too. Each raindrop plays an important role in the survival of our planet. Without water, we would all surely perish.
Although I am not an extremist in any way, I do believe that if everyone cleaned up after themselves and worked on their own footprint, we would be way better off.
Well, today I decided to try something sorta new and sorta old. I started with a circle in the middle. Using some of the techniques and fillers I learned from zentangle videos, I added only three major features to the center. After adding everything up to the tentacles, I decided to finish it off with a circle of sorts. Circles were sorta the theme to this piece and I absolutely adore the finished project. This has to be one of my favorites so far.
I would love to know what you think, let me know in the comments below.
Well, I have had people tell me this looks like a fish and another tell me it looked like wings, either way, this was my lunchtime doodle today. I hope you like it! Yes, I did it in 45 minutes or less. This was just completed with a sharpie for the larger lines and then I filled it in with a sharpie pen that I had for all the little details. The amazing thing about this doodle, is that I never intended it to be anything. I just love the way it turned out. It is so bold and yet so detailed. Seems like I should keep this one for a coloring book one day.
Let me know what you think it looks like in the comments below!
As I started drawing this, I noticed throughout that it took the shape of a penguin. I tried to disguise the little guy but he kept coming through. Either way it was very fun to draw and even more fun to add all the little designs in there. The most interesting thing I kept thinking was, once you see it, it can’t be unseen. Do you see my silly penguin popping through?
Well, I decided for the new year that I was going to be doing random prompts so that it forces me to think outside the box more. So, with the help of my dear friend, Sea Turtle was born. Here is a close up so that you can see some of the details.
One of these days I will be able to take better pictures of my art that is larger than 8.5×11. This one is 11×14. If you have any suggestions on how to take pictures of larger pieces, let me know in the comments below!
So, I did it, I decided that I was going to take the patterns that I use the most and create a sampler page using just those. I started this by just drawing a bunch of circles. After I drew all the circles, I just decided how I was going to split it up based on the designs I wanted to incorporate. The problem is that I don’t know these Zentangle names. So let me know in the comments below!
So far I have these added:
Paradox
Fescue
This mandala project was so fun to do. it took me over the course 3 days to plan and complete it, but I feel like it is one of my best pieces yet.
So, here I am getting back to drawing again. instead of working on fixed and perfect mandalas, I thought I would work on something a little more… creative! I decided to mix a lot of my favorite things I’ve learned over the past few months, and I love the turnout.
Another Zentangle sampler here. Just some of the tangles that I have really enjoyed using. What a better way to collaborate all the different patterns, than to join them together on a symbol of fall and thankfulness.
Let me know if you have seen any of these tangle patterns before and which are your favorite in the comments below.
Here is a beautifully created zentangle sampler in the shape of a heart. I just love everything about this piece. Let me know which patterns you recognize and which are your favorite in the comments below.
Well, this is not a challenge or anything like that. It’s just one of my random doodles. I love when it turns out so fun and simple. It also gives me a lot of practice with my patterns and fillers.
I’m torn on whether or not I like this one. (pun intended). But you can find the challenge here.
Ever since I started doing these spider webs, I can’t get enough of them. Maybe it is the time of the year with all the spooky decor, but I love drawing them and adding them to different pieces. This challenge was a lot of fun and of course, I got to add my webs.
The funny thing about this is being arachnophobic that I am and yet love the artistry of webs. Even my 7-year-old points that out. *teehee*
Anyways, You can find the challenge here.
So the challenge was what I made into a leaf. I enjoy doing flowers and for some reason, this just seemed like a good leaf. You can see the challenge here.
This was a “Finish My Tile” challenge which she started with paradox. You can find the challenge here.
This challenge was so much fun. I enjoyed doing something a little different. You can find the challenge here.
This challenge can be found here. Essentially it was to create something using only straight lines. Well, this proved to be harder than I thought it would be, but I came up with a few patterns that used only straight lines.
You can find the challenge here. The more that I look at this challenge piece the more I really enjoy it. The clean lines and unique zentangle fillers have me mesmerized.
I would love to know if you have completed this challenge and what you like most about it in the comments below.
So I started this with the line between the circles, and then just did random designs building outward. I love how it is just so random. Sometimes we just need to do a little bit of randomness, especially when we have a short amount of time to complete it.
I really enjoyed creating this. It was so much fun just continuously building this until it turned into such an amazing art piece! I didn’t even expect for it to turn into a heart, so I was pleased with the outcome.
Having fun with a tangle called Laflor. It turns into a beautiful flower and the garden scene was just the icing on the cake. I started with the tangle itself. This is such a beautiful tangle that I had to add color to it as well. After giving each tangle some leaves, I decided that adding some squares to the back ground would give it a little character. Then filling the background with a simple line finished it off.
What do you think about this tangle? I would love for you to link your doodles in the comments below!

This started out as the zentangle “buttercup” in the top right corner. I love adding flowers to anything and adding the circle string was just too much fun and created the perfect background. What do you think? Have you completed any challenges?
This challenge, found here, started with the tangle “tipple” on each corner. Very fun challenge. My mind immediately went underwater. I would love to know what you would have done with this tangle. Let me know in the comments below.
This one was fun and very out of my comfort zone. I learned a new tangle called Gra-vee. All the while I had to use a circle string with a loop in the center. I decided to add color to this piece because I felt like it gave it more dimension.
