Inktober Tangles - Day 15 - Puffle by Sandy Hunter CZT
Puffle is a ribbon tangle that starts with a continous, sinous line. The most common way I see it drawn is with each “section” having two lobes, which make it look like a heart. However, it can have one, two or three lobes or perhaps all of those in one ribbon!
Pay close attention to how you draw the initial base line! It takes a bit of practice to make sure the pointed ends come together. It helps to make the lobes exagerated, so they fill in the space completely.
The standard shading for this tangle produces an area of darkness along the center line of each ribbon. This makes the lobed edges appear to pop up towards the viewer giving the tangle it’s dimension.
Once you get the hang of it, this tangle is fun and adds a bit of an organic pop to your tile.
