I fell in love with Zentangle drawing.
no rules. no regulations.
only relaxation, meditation and lines.
line after line - one stroke at a time.

I had these white flats laying on my closet.
I wanted to try Zentangle drawing to another format than paper.

Im pretty happy with the result.

You Will Need (2 things)

  • 1 pair of canvas Flats (any color you like)
  • 2 Marker Pen(s) permanent marker or fabric marker - whichever you have laying around

Steps (7 steps, 120 minutes)

  1. 1

    Pick up your flats and markers.
    Place them on the table.

    I recommend to use 2 different sizes of markers to create some depth to your creation. But if you only have one marker laying around, no worries that will do fine.

  2. 2

    Start drawing your doodles.
    Follow the stitch lines if you like - or create own lines. What ever feels right to you.

    Just keep going. Nice and easy.

    One stroke at a time.

  3. 3

    Inspirations can be found easily online. Just type zentangle and search.

  4. 4

    One side after the other.
    That is how I made mine.
    But there is no order or rules how to Zentangle. Pick any order you like.

  5. 5

    Each side can be different. Or quite the same, if that is more your style.

  6. 6

    I saved the best for last.
    I did first the sides and then this front part.

  7. 7

    Take your time and really enjoy this doodling process.
    Zentangle method is an elegant metaphor for deliberate artistry in life.

    One stroke at a time.

    No hurry - just enjoy every stroke.

    One point you realize that you are all done. And hungry to Zentangle more.

    Happy strokes everyone!
