How to draw Zentangle Inspired Artwork

Blessed – one word that describes my experiences in 2019. Yes, there have been ups and downs, but I am extremely grateful for all the beautiful things that have happened last year. I have been meaning to write on the tragic incidents that our world is currently going through and the causes I support. But, let me start the year by counting blessings. 🙂

Over the last few years, I have come to realize that “Love” isn’t as abundant as I used to think. It is a privilege. To love and be loved is a privilege. If you grew up in a household with parents relentlessly, unconditionally nurturing you and in a community filled with laughter and freedom – then you are lucky. So count your blessings and be grateful. But don’t forget to pass on some of that love to the needy. Always remember that the world thrives on Kindness. On Compassion.

With that thought, I wish you all a fantastic new year. 🙂


As always, sharing with you progress pictures of my latest drawing.

My resource to find tangle patterns is Pinterest. You can check my Pinterest board for more ideas – Zentangle. And then use floral illustrations if I find that the patterns make the artwork look too busy.

This artwork was made over a period of several days, only when my baby was asleep as he seems to have inherited the fascination with art supplies from me. Or maybe all babies are like that. I can barely draw a line without him trying to snatch the pen from me. 🙂
