Creative Tuesdays time!!
Our host, Mr. Toast, gave us the prompt of "Pattern".
Pattern? Oh YEAH!! That's my style!!
I made 2 zentangles (pattern!!!) for this challenge. I know only one will count, but I want to show the original, and the one where I take it that one step too far!!
*Remember, you can click to enlarge*
This is the first one. I used a red pen and filled in a heart shape with doodles. I added some scrolls and other outside pretties. All of the lines are one stroke. The circles, lines, netting, checks. Just a single stroke (for the most part!!!) and that was it. I wanted to do more!!! So I took a picture here first.
Here, I went over the lines more, and used a colored pencil to try to do some shading. I have no idea how to shade something, but I tried. And going over the lines more turned out good.
Which one do you like better?
I hope you visit the other wonderful artists, and see their "Patterns"!!!
It's beautiful! One line? Amazing. :) I think I like the first one best...love the crisp lines. A beautiful Valentine!
ReplyDeleteLove them both! Amazing hearts.

I like the one without shading. great use of patterns. this somehow, looks like a strawberry to me, a very sweet one.
ReplyDeleteThese both are very pretty!
ReplyDeleteOh thats so lovely Danielle, i love it, hope all is good with you
ReplyDeletehugs June x
Danielle, I just think this is adorable. And a single line...that's amazing. I love the deepness in the second one...Great job for our theme this time.
ReplyDeleteHello Daniella,
ReplyDeleteLove the second one...and can I hint you? :o)
It would make a wonderful embroidery pattern!
Get cracking and make more!!!

I like them both - but the second one has more depth, of course. Good work!
ReplyDeleteI also like them both, but I think the second wins for me with the shading giving it depth.
ReplyDeleteloving your patterns, they are so good!
ReplyDeleteThey are both wonderful; I love the simplicity of the first one.
ReplyDeletei like how you added the shading, it just makes this adorable heart POP !
ReplyDeletegreat detailing and pattern work too!
Love the Valentine Zentangle! I was going to say what Janice said...GMTA!
ReplyDeleteI like the first without shading, but both are a great use of pattern :)
ReplyDeleteoh gosh Hun adore both of these they are just brilliant,if I had to choose I love the one with no shading but both are amazing Hun hugs Cherylxxxxx
ReplyDeleteLove your zentangles! These would make wonderful Valentine's Day cards! :-)
ReplyDeleteThe second one is my choice....gorgeous! I need to learn to do this..I am almost positive I would love it..
ReplyDeleteblessings
They are both lovely! Aren't these doodle fun to do?!
ReplyDeleteDaniella, I was hoping you might doa zentangle adn you did..adn a heart, no less! Great! TY.
ReplyDeleteBTw, a tip on shadows, should you ever do still-lifes in the future--they are always darker closer to the object where there is less light and fade out to nothing as they move away from the object and into the light source with the edges getting softer as more light is diffused. :) Not needed on your piece as its more abstract but thought you might like to know for the future. :)
Whoa! That is amazing -- I've never heard of this technique. I actually think I prefer the unshaded one although they're both beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHi Daniella~
ReplyDeleteYou did a wonderful job!! I love Zentangles - so relaxing and creative and this one is perfect for Valentine's Day!
hugs!
Holly
Your Zentangles look so fun, Love that you did the heart in pink!
ReplyDeleteHugs Lynn
I really like your "redwork" Zentangles my dear. The first one is my favorite although I also like your shading you did. I got out my pens today but the Zen for tangling just wasn't happening. Maybe tomorrow...
ReplyDeleteBoth are beautiful Daniella but I like the 2nd one a little better. I like the contrast of light and dark. Have a fabulous day!
ReplyDeleteRed and Hearts - two of my favorite things. So lovely Daniella. Happy Valentine's Day to you, sweet friend.
