Zentangle Designs
The Art of Meditative Drawing
Zentangle Designs• A Zentangle is an abstract, patterned drawing created according to
the tenets of the Zentangle Method. • Using the standard format of a 3.5-inch square title, the artist
creates a structured pattern according to his or her whim following a basic set of guidelines.
• The tile should not have an "up" or a "down" - it is without orientation.
• It should not be representative of any certain recognizable object; rather, it should be abstract.
• The drawing should be completed in black ink on white paper.• A Zentangle is meant to be portable, so that it can be created at
any time the mood strikes.
How to make your own Zentangle
• Using a pencil, draw a 3.5” Square on a white piece of paper
• Outline the square with pen and then continue drawing a “tangle” inside the square.
• A “tangle” is composed of simple shapes
• Tangles can be a line, a dot, a circle, a squiggle, etc – or a combination of everything!
• Don’t erase your mistakes
• Remember that this should be fun and meditative!
Zentangle Triptychs
• A triptych is a three panel drawing• You will draw an animal in an environment
with contour lines• You will fill in all of the spaces with different
Zentangle Designs• Challenge yourself to alternate in between
positive and negative spaces, or geometric and organic shapes!
