Inktober Tangles - Day 21 - Butria by Ute Andresen CZT
Butria is a relatively simple, beautiful tangle that produces a winged butterfly shape.
This tangle is not difficult to draw and provides lots of space for adding enhancements. You can even fill the wing shapes with other tangles if you wish.
This tangle can be used as a central motif, individual free-floating designs or even to fill corners of frame or tile.
For my tile above, I created the central butterfly outline first, then added the reverse, half-butterflies on either side. Then I filled all of them with decorative design.
Highlights were added after the shading to increase the contrast.
This tangle is being added to my repertoire.
Zentangle drawn on a standard, white Zentangle tile using a black, Micron pen. Shading done with graphite pencil. Highlights created with white chalk pencil.
