Inktober Tangles - Day 4 - Toodles by Zentangle
Toodles is a wonderful, leaf-shaped organic tangle. While it has a basic shape, you can play around with it and create a lot of variation without altering it very much.
This tile was fun to create, varying the size, the treatment of the center rib, adding a spot where the leaf folds over, or changing the look of the little Fescu bits of each leaf! I also shaded some of them differently than I normally would.
I like tangles like this because so much can be done to adapt them to fit into the the tile you are working on! You can arrange them around a central point, turn them into a climbing vine, fill in an empty area with random leaves or use a single, elaborate Toodle as a focal point!
If you haven’t tried it yet, give this tangle a go… It’s fun!
