Although the word “Zen” in the word makes it seem as if Zentangle originated somewhere in Asia, it is actually the invention of Rick Roberts, a former monk, and Maria Thomas, an artist. Her goal was to use drawing as a means of relaxation, just as mandala is. And since everyone can go fishing, it is also perfect for relieving everyday stress in your free time. You're meditating, so to speak, only in this case you're also doing something creative at the same time. Because every picture is unique, no two are the same. Some templates for designing the patterns can be very useful here.
Nice patterns to draw
The three basic lines that everyone knows and can draw are used. This refers to straight lines, S-shaped lines, circles, waves and curves. And that's all you need for the Zentangle. And with these basic strokes you can then design any templates or self-painted motifs on a piece of paper. You can also simply start at one side or corner of the paper and work your way to the other side without a plan. There are no rules! You decide for yourself what the picture should look like. However, the result is usually a surprise for the person drawing it.
Motifs in squares
If you have often found yourself drawing different patterns on a blank sheet while on the phone or when you are lost in thought, then Zentangle is especially for you. Because it is nothing more than drawing different patterns on a white sheet of paper or in any motif. You don't need any special equipment, so you can sit down spontaneously andDesign your own Zentanglecan. Print out any templates or draw a motif yourself into which you then paint the patterns.
Drawing on paper
If you still don't believe that you can create such impressive works of art, here are some tips and instructions: Get a sheet ready. You then divide this into different areas spontaneously or according to a plan. To do this, use a black pen that is as strong as possible. Of course you can also play with the colors. If you don't want these dividing lines to be so noticeable, you can also use a pencil. Now start anywhere with any lines, circles, waves, zigzags and come up with something you can use to draw creative patterns. The repetitive movements, performed very calmly and calmly, are exactly what stimulates stress relief and relaxes you.
Tangle pattern for simple artwork
But relaxation is not the only benefit that Zentangle brings. It also wonderfully promotes creativity and fine motor skills, which is why this art form is perfect for children. It strengthens your self-confidence because you are guaranteed to be proud of the self-made, creative result! For this reason, the technique is often used in the USA in therapy for hyperactivity, difficulty concentrating, sleep disorders and even anxiety and when it comes to helping people with addiction problems. As you can see, tangling is an extremely positive thing, for which Zentangle templates are a practical help, especially at the beginning.
Decorate templates with patterns
Zentangle can be used as a leisure activity in two forms. On the one hand, as already mentioned, you can divide a blank template into areas yourself and design them with patterns. You can do this freehand or use a ruler and even a compass. You can also use a compass to draw your own mandalas and then tangle them. The second option is to print out ready-made templates that you can then color. Colored pencils are often used for this, but felt-tip pens and watercolors are also great. Advanced users can even create a picture directly on a canvas and then hang it painted on the wall or give it as a gift and make someone happy.
