Over on The Diva’s blog, Laura posted a challenge to create a Zentangle using the newest tangle pattern released: Molygon. So other people had already uploaded their examples to Laura’s post so I went and checked them out. They were as unique and varied as the people who had posted them. Wow. So much variation on one little pattern. I picked one that I kind of liked and that I thought I could actually recreate something similar to it over on Suzanne Fluhr’s blog and I went to work. I didn’t do an identical tangle but I’m sure you can see the similarity. I really liked how she had added the shading and I really want to incorporate that aspect. I also was tired of the black and white and decided to add some color as well. Yellow watercolor in the background, a Prisma Colored Pencil in a purple/lavender hue and a little white and of course some shading in graphite.
It is a little wonky and elongated but I think I like it OK. Honestly, I started adding elements and I didn’t want to stop! LOL So, it got a little elongated and warbley but it looks organic and alive to me because of the wonkiness (is that a word?!). 🙂
Created with black Micron pens in a ~3″x5″ Handbook journal, shaded with 6B graphite pencil. Added watercolor and colored pencils.

Wonkiness is my favorite thing. This is great. Your shading and reflective quality work beautifully on this tile.
Thank you! 🙂
You have achieved some great depth to your drawing. It feels dimensional to me. xox
