[Audio] ZEN DOODLES WHAT IS IT? Zen Doodling (aka ZENTANGLES) is a style of doodling/drawing that allows someone to create intricate designs by completing small areas of patterns. The Zentangle Method was conceptualized by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas, when they discovered that the act of drawing patterns with the constraint of a few basic rules was extremely meditative..

ZEN DOODLES. CHARACTERISTICS: The tile should not have an "up" or a "down" - it is without orientation. (during creative process) It should not be representative of any certain recognizable object; rather, it should be abstract. The drawing should be completed in blue ink on white paper with gray pencil shading and/or Blue markers. A Zen doodle is meant to be portable, so that it can be created at any time the mood strikes..

ZEN DOODLES. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN DOODLING AND ZEN DOODLING: Doodles are drawn quickly and casually while the mind is elsewhere. Drawing doodles allows the mind to become detached and relaxed. It is drawn out of boredom. Zen Doodles drawings adhere to guidelines and follow a set of rules. Zen Doodles are drawn with full concentration, mindfulness, and focus. The patterns are made with disciplined composition, method, designs and patterns. “Relaxed focus”.

ZEN DOODLES. How to start The Eight Steps of the Zentangle Method Step 01 – Gratitude and Appreciation Get comfortable, take a few deep breaths and feel gratitude and appreciation – for this beautiful paper, for these wonderful tools, for this opportunity to create something beautiful. Step 02 – Corner Dots Place a light pencil dot in each corner, about a pen's width from the edges. Now it’s no longer a blank piece of paper. Step 03 – Border Connect those dots with a light pencil line, straight or curvy, to create a square. This is your border..

ZEN DOODLES. How to start The Eight Steps of the Zentangle Method Step 04 – String Inside the border, draw a light pencil line or lines to make what we call a "string." The string separates your tile into sections, in which you draw your tangles. A string can be any shape. It may be a curvy line that touches the edge of the border now and then, or series of straight lines that go from one side of the border to the next. Step 05 – Tangle A tangle is a predefined sequence of simple strokes that make up a pattern. Draw your tangles in pen inside (usually) the pencil strings and borders Draw your tangles with deliberate strokes. Don't worry about what it's going to look like. Just focus on each stroke of the pen as you make it.

ZEN DOODLES. Step 06 – Shade (JUST AN OPTION) Add shades of gray with a graphite pencil to bring contrast and dimension to your tile. The black and white two-dimensional tangles transform through shading and appear three-dimensional..
