One Zentangle a Day: A 6-Week Course in Creative Drawing for Relaxation, Inspiration, and Fun

by Beckah Krahula

Overview

Take your doodles—and your mind—to a whole new level with this bestselling and preeminent guidebook to the meditative art of the Zentangle.

The Zentangle method was created by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas as a way to practice focus and meditation through drawing by using repetitive lines, marks, circles, and shapes. Each mark is called a “tangle,” and you combine various tangles into patterns to create “tiles,” or small square drawings.

Each of the six chapters explores a different aspect of Zentangle:

• Basics and Enhancements
• Tangles and Value Patterns
• Geometric and Organic Patterns
• Understanding and Using Color
• Defining and Using Style
• Creating the Rest of Your Zentangle Journey

Each exercise includes new tangles to draw in sketchbooks or on Tiepolo (an Italian-made paper), teaches daily tile design, offers tips on related art principles, and contains an inspirational “ZIA” (Zentangle Inspired Art) project on a tile that incorporates patterns, art principals, and new techniques.

Drawing Zentangles is a relaxing and replenishing diversion that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and skill levels. In addition to its soothing benefits, a Zentangle practice can also help with self-image, phobias, addictions, pain management, conflict resolution, and coping with grief.

Step away from the daily hustle and untangle with a Zentangle.
