“One Zentangle A Day” by Beckah Krahula - Day 19 - Geometric Rectilinear Patterns

The new tangles introduced in this lesson are Beeline, Cubine and Rain.

With strong, geometric black areas, all three of the tangles introduced in this chapter are very bold. To provide a contrast to them, I used Crescent Moon and Printemps. I chose both of them because they consist of rounded shapes. In addition, Crescent Moon has bold black shapes around the edge which helps that area hold it’s own against the new tangles.

This tile was fun to draw, since it was such a contrast to the last few days. The shading wasn’t comlicated or difficult. I haven’t used these new tangles in a long time, so I had forgotton how well they work to create bold, eye-catching areas!

Hopefully I will remember them and use them more often in the future!
