2nd Attempt at Roids

2nd Attempt at Roids

This is my 2nd attempt at roids. Still playing with the tombows for that colour pop!

Kinds posted these backwards, but here's the shading before the colour

This is my first attempt at the Roids Pattern By Lizzie Mayne. Something about it caught my eye and made me wanna play with it. 

I've been working on more tiles since this first one, and it's a whole lotta fun!

I used copic greys, microns, and tombow markers on this one.

Here's the stages:

Stay tunes for more Roids pieces!

Back from MIA with Scallamp

Back from MIA with Scallamp

I’ve been a little MIA lately – I started on a larger piece, and as Eni Oken has said many times, it’s good to work on smaller pieces because of that quick-to-have sense of accomplishment.  She was so right.  I’ve been waiting on the markers I need to finish the big piece, and haven’t been tangling much since.  I finally realized a few days ago that it was time to put the large piece aside, and get some tiles done – play around with some patterns, get back to the things I love.

 

So I went through the tanglepatterns.com site and flipped through the top bar til I found a tangle that inspired me.  I found Sara Uram’s pattern Scallamp and thought, YES! This is for me! 

 

So here it is, my first tile in a long while. I did many that first night as a warm up, played with some distressed backgrounds too – I’ll include the second tile as well.

 

Stay tuned for the larger piece… it’ll get finished… someday…

2nd Attempt at Mak-Rah-Mee

2nd Attempt at Mak-Rah-Mee

Well this piece was fun! Gotta love color! I used prismacolor pencil crayons to get this effect thanks to Eni Oken's amazing book.  You can check out her books here.

Other tools used:

• tile
• Copic .03 and .1 microns
• staedtler hb3 pencil and smudge stick

Here's the final piece:

1st Attempt at MAK-RAH-MEE

1st Attempt at MAK-RAH-MEE

Eni Oken's challenge this week is Mak-Rah-Mee.  And what a fun tangle it is! It's a blast to shade, and all of those funky ribbons are so versatile, there is nothing that makes this tangle not fun.

Here's my first attempt at Mak-Rah-Mee finished

First Attempt at DraWings Zentangle

First Attempt at DraWings Zentangle

 

Ironically, I was binge-watching the show Lucifer while first attempting this tangle.  Wings, wings, everywhere! 

 

This is a very basic piece.  I simply used a tile, a micron pen, an HB3 pencil for shading and a shading stump. 

 

More DraWings pieces to come!

Totally forgot the before pics...

All Things Stella Zentangle

All Things Stella!

This is my summary post of all of the Stella experiences I’ve had over the last week or so.  The Stella Zentangle pattern was created by Jana Pharmer (formerly Rogers) the original tangle walk-through can be found here.

 

A special “Thank you” to Eni Oken who posted this Stella challenge on her amazing FB page “Shading Zentangle”.  Be sure to stop by her website and check out her very cool books!
