Today’s ‘Nzepple is nestled into the shapes of a spoken-style Crazy Huggins! This was lots of fun to draw and went quickly. Coloring and highlightng each bubble took a bit of time, but the results were worth the effort. The graphite shading was done after the ‘Nzepple bubbles were completed and was easy to do. I love the way this came out! Zentangle drawn on a tan Zentangle tile using black and brown Micron pens. Shading done with pastel pencil and graphite pencil. Highlights created with white chalk pencil.

This was created by using Crazy ‘Nzepple as a reticula in a spiral grid. Then the fragment K7, a Crescent Moon in a grid shape, was added to each section of the grid. I wanted to use contrasting and complimentary colors for this design, so I chose Micron pens in colors reminiscent of the Pacific Northwest indiginous cultures. Strong corner rounding was used within each section of the grid after the ‘Nzepple bubbles were drawn to make each section stand out.

Continuing along the Crazy ‘Nzepple trail… This time I used a grey tile. I loved the Project Pack that I did with the grey tiles previously and wanted to do something with this “winter” theme… since today, it was over 113 degrees here! Instead of doing the same thing in each bubble, I chose several tangles and did each one in four or more sections, aiming for them not to touch each other if possible.

I don’t think I have ever done ‘Nzepple on a tan Renaissance tile! Inspired by what I tried on yesterday’s tile, I decided to give it another go, using somewhat different materials and some style changes. After drawing a curvy grid with dark brown, I used the same pen to round the corners of each section. This gave me the rounded baloon shapes without drawing them in each section.

Experimental. I had this idea of using a Souffle pen on top of watercolor to create a design within another tangle. To test my concept, I chose Crazy ‘Nzepple as the initial tangle because it would give me a variety of blob shapes that I could play with. After coloring all the sections and using pencil to darken the places where all the lines crossed, I drew a single Printemps spiral inside of each blob. I tried to make it the largest size that would fit. This turned out to be an issue in the very small shapes, so they just turned into a puddle of ink.

I decided to give dingsplatZ a try this weekend. It was fun to do this on the fawn colored paper. It allowed me to add both highlights and shadows! Zentangle drawn on fawn colored, Stonehenge Multi using a black and brown, Micron pens. Shading done with graphite pencil and white charcoal pencil. Tangles: Crazy 'Nzepple Perfs Scena

Finally, a gold and maroon tile from Eni Oken's Crazy Gold Auraknot lesson. While I liked the idea of this, it turned out harder to do than it looked. I found that the widest marking gold pen that I had was kind of sketchy when used to fill in the solid ribbons. On the other hand, I found one with a very fine line that I liked along for creating the patterned details.

While this isn’t an exact negative of yesterday's Project Pack exercise , it’s almost there. In this case, the tile is a standard, 3-1/2" square and the basic tangle, Huggins, isn’t the crazy version. I also changed up the highlight area in the center of each Huggins element a bit. I’m finding that doing the black tiles is actually also improving my regular shading. Either that, or the agility of my brain is getting better at switching between the two types.
