Zentangle is a meditative drawing method using short, simple strokes to create non-representational patterns and designs using a few basic tools. It does not require previous drawing skill as it is a mindful process focusing on repetitive lines and shading. All patterns can be broken down into the same strokes used to make the letters i, c, s, and o. Drawing “tangles” is relaxing, increases focus, and still allows each person to create beautiful patterns.
