  1. Step 1 Impara la definizione di base di zentangle.
    It is an abstract drawing, which follows a certain pattern respecting the principles of the method.The artist creates his work within an 8.5 cm square frame based on his creativity and the guidelines of the method.You don't need any special materials, any technological gadgets or any special education to become a zentangle artist.Here are the main characteristics of a work of this type:
    • The square does not have an "upper" and "down", it has no orientation.
    • It doesn't have to represent any recognizable object, it should be abstract.
    • The drawing must be traced with black ink on white page.
    • A zentangle it should be portable so that we can work on creation whenever inspiration arises.
  2. Step 2 Osserva come lo zentangle si differenzia dalle altre forme d’arte visiva.
    It is a very different method from classical drawing and painting.Its purpose is to be a meditative activity that anyone can do.The process of creating a zentangle is as important as the result itself, which is appreciated for its unique beauty.Zentangle works must respect these philosophical principles:
    • Creation does not have to be planned.When you start drawing one, you don't have to set an end goal.Instead, let the repetitive pattern of lines develop on its own.
    • The decision to draw a zentangle is intentional how sudden.Each line is created deliberately, without hesitation.Instead of erasing what is traced, the artist uses it as a basis to further develop the scheme.
    • His creation is celebratory.Just like meditation, the zentangle method aims to achieve a feeling of freedom and regeneration.It is a way to celebrate the beauty of life.
    • A zentangle it is timeless.No particular technologies or specific tools are needed, zentangle unites those who draw it in the ancient human gesture of placing a pen on a sheet of paper.
  3. Step 3 Comprendi la differenza fra zentangle e scarabocchio.
    Many people create scribbles, some of them very beautiful, in the margins of notebooks or on scrap paper when they have difficulty paying attention to something else, such as a telephone conversation or reading.While doodles may be similar to zentangles, there are actually many differences.Here are the ones:
    • The zentangle method requires a complete concentration.Unlike doodles, the creative process of zentangle requires maximum and unconditional attention, you cannot draw one while talking on the phone or listening to a lecture, because you are partially distracted.
    • The zentangle method involves a ceremony of creation.You should stay in a quiet place where you can only dedicate yourself to art with respect.The paper and pen should be of the best quality, as this is a time-consuming activity.
  4. Step 4 Incontra altri artisti zentangle.
    The method was developed by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas when they realized that the act of drawing abstract patterns following only a few basic rules was an extremely meditative action.
    • To teach the method, you must become a certified Zentangle Master.
    • There are over a hundred official zentangle works.If you want to recreate some of them you can find several online tutorials and textbooks.Works that resemble the method, but do not perfectly adhere to the official guidelines, are defined as "zentangle-inspired creations".

  1. Step 1 Procurati il materiale adatto.
    The method encourages artists to use fine printer paper without lines or squares.Cut the sheet into an 8.5cm square.
    • Parchment or rough paper are also fine, as long as there are no surface patterns.
    • If you wish, the sheet can be colored, but it will not be considered a zentangle drawing in the strictest sense of the word.
  2. Watermark wikiHow to Creare uno Zentangle
    With a pencil, lightly mark the edges of the 8.5 cm square.Don't help yourself with a ruler or other tools, just lightly go over the outline.
    • If the line is slightly wavy (as is normal given that it is drawn freehand) there are no problems.The perimeter is the only constraint to be respected in a zentangle work, within which the drawing will develop.If it has wavy and irregular lines, the final result will be even more unique and original.
    • Don't put too much pressure on the pencil.It shouldn't be visible once you refine the zentagle with the pen.
  3. Watermark wikiHow to Creare uno Zentangle
    Use the pencil for this operation.According to the zentangle method, the pattern must fall within the border and be a curved line or a doodle that gives structure to the drawing.The pattern you create will emerge based on the contours of the string.You should just sketch it out, with a light pencil stroke;its simple and elegant shape will divide the page into sections.
    • Again, don't put too much pressure on the pencil.It must not be visible once the work is finished;its purpose is only to provide guidance as to why.
    • Some people have difficulty determining how to trace the string.Remember the philosophy that gives the method the foundation:the drawing should give you pleasure, flow naturally and celebrate life.Draw what instinctively comes out of your pencil in contact with the page, there are no right or wrong ways.
    • If you want some pattern inspiration you can find string patterns online.

    This term indicates a motif drawn in ballpoint pen that traces the contours of the string.A zentangle can have one or more tangles.Use your pen and start drawing whatever pattern comes to mind, again there is no wrong way to proceed.As you work, remember the following:
    • Tangles are made up of very simple shapes.A line, a dot, a circle, a squiggle are all acceptable strokes.
    • You can add pencil shading to create more depth and make the drawing more interesting.This is not a mandatory step and you should feel free to do it or not.
  5. Watermark wikiHow to Creare uno Zentangle
    You can't erase mistakes with a pen.This is why pencil is not used except for shading.There is no way back.
    • Each tangle must be generated one line at a time.Be careful with any marks you decide to make, to ensure that the pattern grows deliberately.
    • Concentrate consciously on the work.Just like in meditation, it frees your mind from problems and worries.Remember that the act of creating a zentangle is ceremonial.

    When the work can be considered finished, you will understand for yourself.Store the zentangle in a safe place or frame it to display and enjoy its beauty.
  7. Step 7 Una volta che l’opera è terminata, puoi anche aggiungere del colore (facoltativo).
    However, be aware that in this way the drawing will not be officially considered a zentangle.
