ValenTangle Day 13: Dewd

The prompt today is a tangelation of Dewd using a heart instead of the normal round end. I used flux-hearts and mooka corners, and added some background shading in red pencil.

12 Days of Zentangle: Day 3

This year's '12 Days of Zentangle' sees Rick and Maria taking a trip down the memory lane of Zentangle. I don't think I'll have time to follow along every day, but I couldn't resist having a go at new tangle Rumpus. This also uses the 'enthatching' shading technique described by Maria, to give texture and shine to the 'petals'.

Mine is on a standard square tile, rather than the Zendala used in the video from Rick and Maria. White tile with black and brown micron, with red prismacolour pencils to fill.

Moonlight

Discovered the other day that the moonlight gelly roll pens fluorescent under UV light! After purchasing a new UV torch I did a fairly quick tile to try it out. They definitely glow nicely under UV, but it's really hard to photograph! Not sure if the problem is the camera on the phone not coping with the strange light, or if there's too much white light mixed in with the UV, causing too much reflection on the black tile. It's an interesting effect, anyway - will try out some different photographic techniques.
First photo below is in normal light, second is in UV.

Trying out colour!

I was lucky enough to receive lots of art goodies for my birthday. This is just a quick play with the gelly roll pens - white, silver, gold and fluorescent green, blue and purple, with a bit of white charcoal shading, on a black tile. Looking forward to trying more!

Dewd, Hollibaugh-style

Another one for the 'Square One' focus on Dewd. Not entirely happy with how it looks - few too many Dewd strands I think, and the shading needs work as it's quite messy. Might have looked better with the background filled black.

ONE focus: Dewd

This week's Square One focus is on Dewd, the new tangle fromthe first Zentangle Project pack. I started with Andante, then added Dewd appearing to emerge from it. Then I made the spirals of Andante into Ammon, before shading.
