Another Zentangle

Click on image to enlarge

I drew this Zentangle yesterday whilst in the waiting room at the hospital. I notice I'm a little shaky with the linework and this was mainly due to the awkward drawing position. Normally, I would lean on a hard surface such as a table, wooden clipboard or lap table...none of which were available to me at the time.

For some reason, it reminds me of a frog. lol

  1. Love it. Can't really make a mistake with zentangles. Hmm, it DOES remind me of a frog.

  2. Oh, I definitely see the frog-likeness as well.

    In the scan, I don't see any shaky lines at all. It's a very cool design, and I like it just as it is.

  3. This is beautiful. I love how you have the swirls and the pattern. Did you make it up as you went or did you have an idea in mind when you started it?

    You are good with pen and ink and placing the bold and the fine lines together.

  7. I thought of a frog also! Those back kind of scrunched up legs...ready to jump! Watch out!!!
    I am amazed at your ability with zentangles...I am just not artistic at all...I can see that! You really have a God given talent, in all areas of art. Awesome!

  9. Thanks, everyone. I have no idea how the drawing will turn out which is great because there's no pressure. I just start with a curve, line or shape and just keep adding to it. I just go with the flow. Zentangles are so much fun and you can find out about them here. http://www.zentangle.com/index.php
