This week’s focus tangle seems to be unanimous amongst my various facebook groups. Drawings is the focus tangle for Square One: Purely Zentangle, Shading Zentangle, and Weekly Zentangle Tangle Video.
I tried Drawings a few times and had a mess. This tangle has a learning curve, if you ask me. I do okay through the first two steps but when you go adding in the lines after the scallops it turns into a mess.
I was very glad when I was told about a tutorial video for this one by Melinda Barlow. It helped some. But it took me three tries and I was still unsure of it.
Here are my first two attempts.
Yep, that first one was a mess. I tried to do one behind the other and it clearly didn’t work out very well. With all the lines added, it just looks like a mess.
This second time I tried one smaller in the front and one larger on the left. Again, when the ‘ribs’ were added, it got all messy. So I decided to try one more time.
I really like the one on the left better. It just gets all messy on me when I add those ‘ribs’. So when I did the shading on the left one, I added shaded ‘ribs’ and I think it looked better. I decided to leave well enough alone and just leave it a monotangle.
Here it is after shading.
It is okay but I’m going to be looking at how others handle the ‘ribs’ on these wings; that’s for sure!
I appreciate you stopping by and the comments that some take the time to leave. They are so encouraging!
Until next time, God bless,

Love seeing the progress you made through the pics! DraWings does seem to be the tangle du jour (or du semain – which means week )
