This week’s diva challenge is to use only Marasu and Molygon. I’d never done Marasu before. Thankfully, it’s an easy one, especially since Molygon and I are not very good friends.
So, I started with the easy one, Marasu. I decided to try some overlapping and added more pieces of Marasu. Then on to Molygon. I chose to add it to the upper right corner. I started with a small bit and just grew it outward. I don’t know how you’d add layers to it, so I just settled with widening Molygon. I’ll have to check out other participants tiles for this challenge, to see what they did with Molygon.
Here’s my tile before shading.
I had not idea what I was going to do with Molygon. So I started shading Marasu. Then dealt with Molygon. I looked at the stepout article from Zentangle where they showed some ideas of what to do with it and picked on. I wish I had made my molygon segments larger to allow better shading.
I thought Molygon needed something else, so I added an aura around the outer pieces and then shaded it a bit.
I really appreciate all the comments. I’ve really been working on my shading; it’s encouraging to know that I’m improving. Now for the overlapping practice. OH! Now I know! I should’ve gotten out my softer pencil and shaded between the Marasu layers.Hmmm, looks a bit better smaller.
Have a great week!
Until next time, God bless,

So fun to see the progression from line art to the shaded finish. I really like the Marasu tucked behind each other.
Nice to see Marasu “piled up” on each other, and your Molygon is made perfectly! Love that shading!
Thanks for sharing the process, always great to see. I like the endresult. A lot.
I love seeing how you worked through the ideas and skills. It’s a good finished piece too, i hope you are happy with it, I would be.
Love the Marisu piled up. Really adds depth.
Nice tile, thanks for sharing the process.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing the process!
Nice layering of your lovely marasu AND you and molygon look like you get along very well! Wonderful tile!
I can tell you’ve been practicing your shading! Your really great at it!
