Presenting before you my new Zentangle inspired artwork (ZIA) done using fineliner pens by micron and unipen. I bought a bunch of art supplies from ebay last month – watercolor sketch pens, micron pens, white sakura gelly rolls and drawing pad with black sheets. In the coming months, I will share all the new exciting arty stuff that I am planning to do. Of course, it also depends on how much spare time my little bubba allows me to have.
I usually don’t have a plan while drawing these ZIA. So except for the circle to enclose the patterns, everything is done freehand. Takes off the pressure to make everything perfect, which is a reason why I love them. Drawing these patterns one after another, either in silence or with a comedy sketch playing in the backdrop, takes away a lot of anxiety and stress.
Like always, I am sharing the progress pictures. You will find links to a few of my other artworks at the end of the post. Hope you like them. Until next time!

Surely you are living this beautiful message ‘Bloom where you’re planted’, Raji.
I always get inspired by these. I find drawing them suits me better than all the “adult coloring books” in the world; I prefer the originality and exploration. Never know where they’ll take us. I used to do something very similar with colored markers on posterboard, as a kid, before Zentangle and ZIA were a thing, so I think it brings back those memories, as well.
This is exquisite, Raj! Really pretty.
I envy you. There, I said it.
How can anyone be so talented in so many sphere of life!? You indeed are an inspiration to so many of us, Raj! ❤
It’s gorgeous and so so intricate. Must need tons of patience.
On an average, how much time does it take for you to complete this detailed and intricate patterned zentangle? And what do you do with these artworks once they are complete? Do you file them?
Must say, you are truly creative and talented!
This is so beautiful! You really have an incredible talent. I can’t wait to see what else you will create. Sounds like you have an amazing collection of supplies to work with… my childhood dream!
Beautiful! you are so talented, Raji 🙂
Such tedious detailing Raji- I am forever in awe of your work and wonder how you manage to be so meticulous. Great work 🙂
Doing Zentangle free style is really very relaxing.Liked the details you have put in and the quote.One does live happier when one can actually do this.Keep blooming .
Beautiful, as always! I love those flowers you make with lines. WIll try making them in one of my drawings some day. <3
Wow. I am amazed. Your artwork is always inspiring and beautiful.
Your artwork is amazing. I love the detail in it. I used to draw and paint and design dresses when I was a child. It’s very therapeutic and you feel proud of yourself afterwards 😊
Love your zentangles, Rajlakshmi. They’re so neat and so intricately done. Reminds me to get back to my art sessions once again.
As always, I love your zentangled words! And I can’t wait to hear about your new artsy plans!
I love your artwork! I need to try this the next time I have a few free moments. Kudos, mama! It is inspirational how you take time to care for yourself despite the fact that you are in a busy season of life.
Such a beautiful design! And I love what is says, “Bloom where you are planted”. Well done.
Looks amazing!
