I have got another step by step tutorial on my new artwork, which I drew using a lot of zentangle designs and patterns, and few florals too.
Hiraeth – is a Welsh word that means a longing for a time, a place, a person or a feeling that is beyond this plane of existence, homesickness for a home that doesn’t exist or grief for lost places in time. I fell in love with the meaning as soon as I understood it. Soulful, so beautifully sad. This is definitely my kind of word.
I had tried drawing a Zentangle Inspired Typography of this word before, but due to a spelling mistake, I had to cover up and ended up drawing something completely different. But this time, I was very cautious about not making any mistake.
I usually draw a circle with a pencil using a big round plate, for the lack of large circular objects in my house. But you can always use a compass or find better objects to draw your circle 🙂 Then I draw an outline of the word within the circle, which takes a lot of trials and errors. I sometimes have a hard time getting the proportions right. The word can be a fancy lettering or simple plain letters. But do make use of white space to make the letters distinct.
My resource to find Zentangle patterns is Pinterest. It has a huge collection of pictures along with tutorials. In addition, it’s very easy to find new patterns whenever you run out of ideas. As you already know I am a big fan of floral illustrations and include them wherever I can. This doesn’t make the design look too crowded and gives it a nice feminine touch.

Beautiful, Rajlakshmi, Do you frame your zentangles? You must on a wall and share the pics with us 🙂

Simply AMAZING! Love the word, never heard of it before. Zentangling sure is a great way to de-stress, I can imagine it’s almost meditative, isn’t it?
yeah, I actually love going through my drawing book… sometimes I wonder if I really made all that 😛 It’s like I am in trance 😛
Fascinating! I can’t draw at all, so my hat is off to you!

So good this is, Raj. I am jittery always and I simply do not have the patience to complete even a basic pattern of Zentagle. Not that I know how to. 😛
