Inktober Tangles 2024 - Day 8 - Connesses

Welcome to my Inktober Tangles 2024 project! This year I’ll create on a grey Opus tile. I’m challenging myself to use yellow color (at least for the letters🙃).
As usual, I’m using prompts by Stephanie Jennifer. You can download the list here:

Supplies: grey Opus tile by Zentangle, black pen (Micron PN), graphite pencil (Pitt Graphite Matte 12B), blending stumps, General’s Charcoal White pencil, white Gelly Roll 10, Faber-Castell’s Albrecht Durer watercolor marker.

It is such a pleasure to watch you draw and hear you talk. You are truly an Artist. Also, some great ideas, thank you so much! :)

[@ZenLinea]

You are so welcome! And thanks! 💖

I was practicing this one yesterday and I also decided that it was easier to start with the little triangle too 😀 Thank you for your videos. I’ve loved watching them each day

[@ZenLinea]

You're so welcome! ❤️ Thanks for following 🥰

[@judywanner]

I am anxious to try my hand at this one. You have a gift for making everything work…..lovely result! Yes to Mooka always. Hard to believe this was one tangle I struggled with way back when. Oh each day is a gift from you. Thank you Anica❤️

[@kathylong1900]

I agree❤

[@ZenLinea]

You can do it, both of you! 🥰 Focus and take it one stroke at a time. Do it on a spare paper if it would help you gain the confidence. 🩷

Oh, what fun to watch this before I've seen the stepouts for this pattern. I can't imagine what the "right way" is to do this pattern. Can't wait to learn this pattern.

[@ZenLinea]

The right way is whatever way you chose to draw it, even if the result is not the same as in the original stepout. 😊🥰

[@sabertke]

I find ConneSSes difficult to tangle. Your version inspires me to try something different with it. Thank you!

[@ZenLinea]

You can do it! And I do agree that it’s not the easiest one to tangle. 😊

[@tracyvision]

Thank you for this! I’m watching lots of inktober videos and find that many of them are about how to draw the particular shape. And that’s great. But that’s not what draws me to Zentangle (I didn’t see that pun until it was there, but I’m leaving it there, haha). It’s moments like you showed - transforming a suggested shape into something authentic, something uniquely yours that spontaneously happens. Those are the Zentangle moments that I’ve already become addicted to. Is it just me or are the official Zentangle HQ tangles more likely to elicit that for other people too?

[@ZenLinea]

Thanks, and I love that pun. Is it correct to say “draw your joy”, like I used it? I find that simple tangles open space for interpretation because we’re not so consumed with the thought of getting them right. That might be why Zentangle’s tangles work better, because most of them are simple. 😊

[@tracyvision]

@@ZenLinea I think ‘draw your joy’ is a perfect phrase!

[@rimonagale1625]

The three connected S's fascinated me. So unexpected. 🙏 🌈🧚

[@ZenLinea]

Thank you! 🥰

[@jwebber598]

❤❤❤awesome thank you❤❤❤

[@ZenLinea]

You are so welcome 💛

[@markcindyrieke8606]

This was a hard one! But I made it. Thanks, Anica!🤩😁

[@ZenLinea]

Great job! 🥰🥰🥰💪🏻

[@kathylong1900]

I have no idea what you just done ! lol. What you have done looks great!

[@ZenLinea]

Haha, thank you! Remember that you can always pause the video, and even set it to a slower playback speed (just don’t listen to the sound of it then😁).

[@JudySanza]

Things that make you go ….. hmmmmmm ❤

[@ZenLinea]

Ha, yes! 😁

[@wilhat]

Hi ,you do know that’s just confused me more ,but it looks great now shouldn’t the letter e be in the pattern done it with and without .Is there a right way of doing this tangle or is it more a free form tangle?

[@ZenLinea]

Any tangle can be tangled any way that you like it or the way it makes you most comfortable. If it’s changed in a process, it’s just a tangleation (variation) of the tangle. There is no right or wrong way to create anything. 🥰🥰🥰

[@bethpowel6054]

How can one not love mooka?

[@ZenLinea]

I ask myself the same question! 😁
