My doodle art and my zentangles are both improvised and planned (sometimes very deliberately). Sometimes, I even do both: I choose a motif or a pattern that I want to use, and the rest is pure improvisation. “Dunes” is one of those part-planned, part-improvised drawing….
Zentangle flowers
I love drawing zentangle flowers because they are easy, and you can create really intricate patterns with a very basic flower outline. “Zentangle flowers in red” is a drawing that incorporates different zentangle patterns. This is one of my most ambitious zentangles and my mom’s…
Zentangle shells
The source of inspiration for this drawing is the beach, which inspired the bottom half of the drawing, together with the ocean, which I wanted to picture in the top half of the drawing. I can almost see a tidal wave curling over the shells…

Zentangle flower: Candy Flower
I drew this zentangle flower using gel pens, ink pens, and a gold metallic sharpie. I used an old book page from a damaged book. I like the added texture of having text in the background. My inspiration for this drawing were happy summer days…
