Zentangle® on Vintage Photos

1. Intro: Hello and welcome to my class than tangles. I'm vintage photos. My name is Martha Arrington and I'm an artist and educator. I'm so excited to share with you this class because it incorporates two of my favorite things, drawing patterns and vintage. This class is really for anyone who is interested in learning and easy drawing methods, or has a stack of old photos lying around collecting dust. Throughout this class, you'll learn seven unique tingle patterns. And it's not required to have any prior drawing skills. As then tangles only require you to know how to write your IV. However, if you're curious about this entangled method, I encourage you to enroll in my other class is entangled and Beginners Guide. It's a quick and relaxing class that introduces you to then take all Methodology and takes you through the steps of creating a traditionals entangled tile. But again, it's not a prerequisite for this class. As an educator, I love sharing artistic knowledge. And as a former elementary school art teacher, I'm great at breaking down a project into simple attainable steps for all types of learners. Today I'll share with you seven easy to draw tangles. And by the end of class, you'll be able to continue to draw creative and unique images on any surface you desire. 2. Class Project: Thank you so much for enrolling in this class and choosing to expand your creative horizons with me, I'm constantly looking for unique ways to incorporate disentangle method into, in non-traditional ways. As mentioned before, we'll be drawing tingle patterns on vintage photographs. Before we go any further, I want to clarify two terms that you've heard me mention a few times that you might not be familiar with if you've never taken as entangle class, a traditional Zen tangled tile is usually drawn with three to four tangle patterns. So specific tangles make up a Zen tangled drawing. But we're sticking with the non-traditional themes. So we'll be drawing those tinkle patterns on vintage photos or you can draw them on any surface, you please. Well, just not property, that's not yours, but you know what I mean? I fell in love as entangled about seven years ago. And with its meditative quality, I was able to relax after a long busy day, as well as calm some anxiety that I've been dealing with my entire life. Not only do I love creating art, but I also love all things vintage. However, as a kid, I did not. My parents went dragged me to antique stores and flea markets almost on a weekly basis. And I was usually miserable. And it wasn't until I got older that I began to appreciate family era looms and things from the past. And now I visited antique stores about once a week. Being an only child and an only grandchild, I have been blessed with a tremendous number of family heirloom. Summer my style, and some are not like this milk glass piece. Not really my thing, but I wanted to figure out a creative way to incorporate it so that I can preserve the memory of my gradient because this was one of her pieces. So I have now put all of my watercolor tube, set it, and it sits on my desk and I can have a memory of her everytime I look at it. So just just a creative way to preserve the memories of my family. Along with China and flat where and jewelry and those sorts of things. I also inherited a large amount of vintage photos. And these photos are of my relatives, but also friends of my relatives. So friends of my great grand parents and grandparents and great aunts and uncles, I don't even know who they are, but it's hard to get rid of those things, I think because they're pictures of people. So I just had to brainstorm and get creative and figure out how could I utilize these photos? I don't want them to just sit in my in the back of my closet or in my attic. I did the whole Katamari thing five or six years ago and I don't want to keep anything that didn't spark joy. So hence this class was born. But don't worry if you don't have a collection of vintage photos. I'll discuss in the next lesson some different places that you can source them. I look forward to you all uploading your tangled photos and the project gallery so that I can see what you've been working on. Thanks again for joining. I'm so excited to get started. 3. Materials: Let's go over the supplies that you'll need for today's class. There are lots of options for pins. And I'm going to go over some of my favorites and what works best for me. And then I will also show you some alternatives that you might already have at home. Passcode paint pens are my absolute favorite paint pen. There are several options out there on the market. But this is just something that I've found that works really well for me and they work really well on vintage photographs. So I have two examples of photographs I'm going to test on. One has a glossy finish and one has a matte finish. And I wanna see how both of them work. And I suggest that you do the same. And you'll also want to pay attention to the drying time, especially on the glossy finished photographs if you have them. Paint pens take longer to dry in general, but anything that you write with on something that's glossy will take longer to dry. So just keep that in mind. I chose these two photographs because they have areas of light and dark. I always think it's good to test out, pins it in different areas so you can see how they look. So this is my white pasta Japan. And before I get started, I just want to make sure that it is drawling well, just make sure the patient is flowing. If it's new, You'll have to shake it up and get the paint going, but this one is ready to go. Okay. So I want to try just how it will look here in this dark area. So here you can see it shows up really well. And I'm also going to try it on my glossy finished artwork photograph. And it shows up really welfare to the size of paint pin that I'm using by pasta. Mostly I use the PC1 NMR, which is a 0.7 millimeter. This is the finest tip. Here's the black that shows up. Great. And I'll even practice the black here. I'm going to try it on a light area, and I'm also going to test it on the dark area so it doesn't show up as well there. So I'm not going to use something that's dark on a dark area. The other escapade pen that I love is the pc one, m, which is similar, a similar code, but this one is a bullet shaped, so same size, 0.7 millimeter, but bullet-shaped. So these would be my top two recommendations if you decide you want to invest in some escapade pens. So this color might not be best for this darker photographs. So I'm gonna try it here on the light. This is also hard to see, so this light green, even though I like it, it's not working well on these photographs, but I have another one. This is the red wine color. And I'm gonna try that one out. Oh, that looks lovely, fantastic. So this is a fine tip as well, but it's even finer than the PC one. Mr. There we go. So PC1 MR. And PC1 m are the best pasta paint Benz for this. Another option for pens is a Jelly Roll Penn, and they come in several different finishes. You can just get the traditional jelly rolls. I loved the souffle as well as the moonlight pens because they show up really well on darker areas. So I'm gonna test this jelly rolls to flay pen, maybe over here on this dark area as well as in the light area. And jelly rolls, especially the souffle, can take a minute to dry and they'll become more opaque. So when probably can show you that a little bit better in a moment. But I'm also going to go ahead and try it here and see how it does on this glossy finish. While we're at it. This is the moonlight pin or finish, I should say, and you can see how bright it is. It shows up really, really nicely. Another great thing about the Jelly Roll pins is that the tip is very fine. So That's a good option for, for us because our zen tangles are, tangled drawings are gonna be very intricate. So the finer tip the better. But like I said, there's lots of different options you can get Metallica. I think this one's called like silver, gold or yellow gold something. This is just a traditional one. So lots of different options and I will list the pens that I use for all the lessons in the resource section. Another pen that I came to love during this class was the pen touch gold pin. Also by secure. I happen to use it. I got this as a sample and I just absolutely fell in love with it. It's hard to see it with the sheen, but it works wonderfully. It's my new favorite metallic pen, even over escapade pens, I would choose this pen. Now you might not want to invest in paint pens or Jelly Roll pens, but you probably have a Sharpie laying around the house. Sharpies work great on photographs. There are a great option. So if you'd like to just use that and that's fine. But you're going to be limited in your colors. Obviously. This is not a good example of this size. This is a fine point. I would suggest if you have access to an extra fine point or the sharp pin, that you could use one of those because the tip is a lot finer. My favorite white ink drawing pen is the unit ball signal pin, and it works wonderfully. I've used it for years to draw on dark paper. It shows up quite well. I didn't use it for any of the lessons in this class. I chose to use the escapade pens, but this does work on photographs. So I wanted to show you all in case this was append that some of you all already had. Works great there on the mat finish and not as great on here. I had a little bit of skipping. That could also be because there's some oil and maybe I touched it with my, my greasy finger or something, but it works okay. Of course it's going to take a lot longer to dry. So that's another option as well. And then the final pan I thought I would show you is a pygmy micron pen. Now this is a traditional Zen tangle pen. There are great because you can get really fine points. They worked fine on these photographs. So if you want to just use this, if you already have one, then that is another option for you. So try to keep in mind that this class is about the process and not about depends. So feel free to use whatever drawing tool that you're most comfortable with. You'll also need a collection of vintage photos. And these are some of what I have in my collection. If you don't have any on-hand, a great place to find them is an antique store. Most, and the photos that I have chosen are portraits. So what's great about them is you usually have a lot of blank canvas that you can draw on the background of the portraits. This would be one that I would use as a test photo to test depends on. You can even use photographs that come in these mats. I used photographs like this several times. You can draw on the mat. That's a really cool effect and we'll be doing that. Or you could take the picture out if it's not glued anymore, If it's become loose over the years and you can draw directly on the photograph. This is also a good option for drawing on his outfit and doing a design. They're all if they antique stores that I visit here in Chattanooga have vintage photos. So it's a great option if you don't have a collection on hand. But if visiting antique store is not an option for you, you don't have a collection, please feel free to print out the photo images located in the resource section. With that being said, feel free to choose whichever photos that you find most intriguing. And I always suggest getting a few extras for practice or just continuing this creative journey. The final thing that you might need? Yes, so this is optional is somewhere to practice the tangles. If this is a new practice for you and you've never drawn a tangle before. You might want to get some sort of scratch piece of paper that you could practice on. You could draw them in your sketchbook or visual journal for, you could print out this step OUT sheet that is located in the resources section. If you're not familiar with tables, this is a great option because you can draw out each step of a tangle so you can remember how to do them at a later date. I'll be teaching the lessons directly on photographed for somebody who maybe is new to this entangled practice. It might be a good idea to practice first on a scratch piece of paper. So collect everything you need and I'll see you in the next lesson. 4. Swarm: The tangle I used for this vintage photo is the swore me tangle, like a swarm of these. And it has just created with very simple straight lines that are repeated in a triangular fashion. So, so I'll be doing the background here. Now I'm going to be choosing the white pasta paint pentagon. I do think because of the starkness of this weight, it will stand out and we'll be able to see it. It's still here in the background. So I'm gonna start here just in the middle of the background. And I'm going to start with a straight line. I'm going to do a series of straight lines right next to it. And as I draw them, they will get smaller. And I did five here. Then I'm gonna do another series of five or six lines in the same shape and this triangular shape right next to it. And then I will come right next to it. And then I'm just going to continue on around. And I'm just going next to what I've already drawn. And then sometimes you'll see they don't always fit in there. And just Okay. So I only got two lines in there. Not a big deal. I'm just gonna keep on going. And when I'm next to the edge here, I'll just draw as much as I can and will just continue to fill up the rest of this space with these very simple straight lines. And then let's talk about when we get close to the person. If you have chosen a portrait like I have, I will follow the same rule that I'm following here at the edge. And I will just draw what I can, what you can see. So right here there's a little space. I'm gonna go ahead and draw. A little bit of the lines that would be that would be part of the next little mini triangle, if you will. And one of the reasons why I started with this tangle, if you've never drawn Zen tangles before, I'm sure you've doodled and in some form or fashion throughout your life. But the dissenting goals that are created with straight lines tend to be a little bit easier for beginners. And also this one just, It's so random that if you didn't make a mistake and you just kinda had to fill it in with some just little mini straight line somewhere. It would just blend in and nobody would know the difference. So it definitely lends itself to the idea of that there are no mistakes in art. And if you feel like you have made a mistake, then, you know, you got to tell yourself what are used to tell my elementary school students and to turn that mistake and do something that you do like sometimes if you pause a moment, you'll notice that these compounds, they dry pretty quickly. So I like to just grab my little This is an old business card of mine. I like to just grab that and practice and get it running and flowing again before I move on to my actual artwork. So right here I want to show you a situation where I haven't, I could, I could do two things here. I had an empty space here, but while it's a little bit more empty than I would like it to be. So what I could do is just extend these lines a little bit longer, or I can draw a little bit of another little triangular shape that's obviously not going to be a triangle. There's not enough space and therefore to be a triangle. But just wanted to show you, this is an example of a happy accident. We can just fill it in by extending these lines or just adding a little bit of the beginning of another little triangle shape. So here I go again, the space is a little too big, but I'll do here is I'll just extend the lines of another triangle shape that I started. This line seems a little big here, so I'm gonna come in and just extend these a little bit. Just fill it out. Mm-hm. Guys. 5. Paradox: Alright, the next tangle we will be doing is the paradox tingle. And I love it because it has this optical illusion feel to it. Usually when I've drawn the paradox tingle on resenting goals, I'll just add one of these triangular shapes here. So if you can imagine just drawing one of those, but you can put them together edge to edge. And it creates this really cool kind of optical illusion that I just mentioned. And it just looks so neat to me. So that's what I'm gonna do for the next photograph that I'll be drawing on. And the one that I've chosen is the score just wetting photograph, this wedding portrait of this young couple. And mine easily comes out of this envelope that its end. So I'll be able to draw on it easily. And I'll just be filling up this background here. And I'm gonna use a gold hen, which I don't usually use this. But I had one. I, what I really wish I had was a gold Jelly Roll pen and that's because the tip would be much more fine point. You can see that a little bit better. This more of a medium point pen. But I'm gonna go ahead and work with what I have instead of buying extra things. But I really wanted to do the gold for this specific photograph because it just when I think of this beautiful wedding that would have taken place, just looks so regal and I think, you know, gold is as a regal color, but I think any sort of metallic or light colored pen would work really well. And in the background here because it's so dark, no, I've gone ahead and tested gold pen down here in a corner and the section that won't be seen once I put it back in this this envelope that it came in. So I'm going to start by just drawing a triangle. And then inside of the triangle I'm going to draw a series of diagonal lines, Minister Art here at the corner of this triangle. And I'm going to draw over to the opposite side. I'm not going to draw to this corner. I'm going to draw right next to it. Like so. And then from that point, I'm going to do the same thing, drawing across to the other side. So you see you've, you're drawing, you end up with lots of very long and narrow triangles. And then I'm going to come back to where I started. And then I will continue on around going all the way. Till I can't go anymore. Just like so. And then I'm going to draw another triangle right next to this one. And I'm gonna do the same steps across to the other side. Then from that point across to the other side, and from that point across to the other side. And then another triangle. Just loving this gold. It might be my new favorite pen. Alright? I'm pretty close to this young man's head. So I'm going to think about that before I draw my next triangle. But let's see here. Think that's how I will handle it. So I've just picked up my pen where his hair is and just kept on drawing. So it almost creates this illusion that this background that I'm drawing, this pattern maybe is like a design here, maybe some wall paper or very elaborate curtain. Notice that my triangles are all different sizes. You need to be exactly the same. I will eventually fill in the areas that are close to the couple, but it'll just be easier to fill in around them first and then do the more detailed tangle paradox tangled closer to them later. Alright? So here is, here's an area that's going to be, it's not going to be a triangle, but you can do this. Tangle with other shapes. It does not have to be a perfect triangle, it could be a square. So let me show you how I do that. So I have four sides here, and I'm just going to follow the exact same rules that I followed before. I'm going to start at a corner and draw across. Started that point. Draw across. Started at this point. Draw across and start at this point and draw across. And I'm back to where I started. So a paradox, the paradox tingle does not have to be drawn with triangles. I draw this a lot with squares as well. Can, there we go. And in the end loops, in the end you see that it really just kinda blends. Nobody is going to be able to tell when it's all said and done. Okay. There you go. You guys can see an up. Sorry about that. Okay, I'm gonna continue on here. And then at the very end we're gonna fill in this background, even though this is kind of cool, almost like looking like a canopy or something here that they're under. I don't know. Maybe I'll re-evaluate and I'll leave that we'll see in crap. Just keep going for now. So this is looking pretty cool the way it is. So I'm going to leave us for now, and I might come back and edit this video. But I'm thinking that's looks pretty cool the way it is. It just looks so lovely. 6. Crescent Moon: Okay, the next tangle we will be learning is the crescent moon tangle. Now, this is a variation of the tangle. It's not traditionally how it's drawn. Helps show you though. That is the crescent moon. Lighting will cooperate here. That's the crescent moon tingle right here. So this area, we have these little half-moon shapes surrounded by a bunch of and lines. But we're going to be kind of turning it outward and making it into a border. So I first chose this photograph here that was already glued into this card and I couldn't remove it. So it kind of lent itself well to the to adding a border to it here and more decorative border. So I have found a similar. If I can learn how to use my camera. I've found something similar here that lends itself well to a to having a border added to it. And mine can come out which is nine. So I can just draw on a flat surface but see if you can find a photograph that has a nice empty border that you can draw on. Silvers I sample that I used here. I I chose just a black hate pinned. Let's see if I have yeah. So I just used the PC1 MR. or the 0.7 millimeter tip. And I just did the traditional black on white Zen tangled drawing style. But I'm going to have some fun with color on this piece because, you know, this is a portrait of two children. And I kind of think that lends itself to a little bit more whimsy, if you will. So I have pulled out this green past couple and now this is a different shaped tip than what I usually use. This is a bullet shaped tip and it's called a PC1 em. But it's also the same size as the black pen that I showed you, a 0.7 millimeter. You'll just need to be a little bit more careful if you choose to use this bullet tip just not to damage that fine point. And the only reason I'm using it, because I don't have it in this I don't have this color in this size. I have various colors and various sizes, but I can't afford to buy every color and every single size. So I'm just gonna use when I can. If you have a large photo like this, it's easier to use a larger tipped marker or paint pen. And if you have a very small photo, you are going to want to use a more fine tip to Penn. I have a larger photo here. I'm using a fine tip pen. It will just take me longer to do. Then if it was larger, not the end of the world and I would prefer it to be smaller because I can be more intricate if need be. So we're gonna go ahead and get started. I'm so excited. I'm going to start up here at the top and just do some half-man shapes. And I'm drawing them just around the edge of this border here. And I'm getting about the same amount of space as the actual half-moon shaped. So if that helps you figure out how far apart they should be. So I know that this is hard to see. So what I think I will do is zoom in a little bit more. And hopefully that will help a little bit with with the view a little bit close together, but that's all right. Not the end of the world. Not too worried about that. K down here at the bottom. All right. And now I'm going to fill in all of these half-moon shapes. So they are solid and color. Okay, the next step is to draw two lines that aura this shape. And that means that they are just drawn in a similar, they mimic, I should say, the line that was drawn to make that shape. So 121212. And then just continue the surround. All of your half-man shapes. And if they touch here, that is perfectly fine. They don't have to be completely separate. Okay, the next step will be to add just a little circles. We're just going to add a little bit of embellishment to this, since this is a variation of the crescent moon and the traditional crescent moon, we would just leave these lines as they are. But we're going to just embellish this a little bit because, why not? So I'm just drawing these little small circles, little p shapes. I hope you all quiet. Repetitive practice. It's really relaxing and meditative when you when you get into it like this. Okay, so we're back around where we started. And we just have two more final steps. I'm just gonna do one outline of this entire border. And even though it's a continuous line, I am going to pick up my pen and just take my time going around. So here we are at the, at this corner here. Just turning like so always turning what you're drawing on as opposed to making your body or your arm uncomfortable to try to draw a line. And we're back where we started. So the final step, I'm going to add just a little bit more of embellishment and it'll be here. Cut the little corners of this outline here. And I'm just gonna do subtle like pedal design. So just three little curved lines. 123123123, and so on. All the way around. And we are OK here we are. And I absolutely love. It. Looks so cool. I'm really glad I chose something besides just the black or white pen. It's really fun to try colored with Zen tingle. It is a little light, but I'm still loving it. I think if I were to do it again on a color photograph that's similar in color. I might use this blue color, but this light green is still really, really, really beautiful and I'm so thrilled at it. So again, this is the crescent moon or variation of the crescent moon tangle. And there we go. And I, you know, I just read, read to deaths very closely. This is from 1929. So absolutely cool way of taking something old and just adding a little life to it and practicing tangles and also relaxing at the same time. 7. Hibred: The next triangle we will be trying out is called hybrid. And it is not traditionally drawn as a border like this, but we're going to do a variation so you could use it to go around the edge of a photograph like I have done here, please. So let me show you on my step out sheets. This is traditionally what it would look like. So this kind of band, if you will. So what we're gonna do is we're going to draw this band around an area around a portrait. This is the next photo that I found that I thought would be a good choice for this tangle. This young man, first of all, as very handsome. And it's just, it's a beautiful portrait. I love the tones here in it. At first I thought that I would do the pattern or the tangle here in the background around him. But I think that I'm going to do it out here on the mat on this picture photo envelope that is so common in the the collection of photos that I have to first make sure that my pen is flowing nicely. That's lovely. And then I will get started. So I'm going to draw outside of this darker brown border here and create my tangle between it and the outside edge of this, this area. So the first thing you'll wanna do is just create a very thin if I can, line going all the way around. And I'm always turning my paper, whatever I'm drawing on gets turned as opposed to contort in my hand. I've mentioned that some of the previous videos. And then I want to do another line quite close to it, going all the way around. So I would just wanted to tell you I did something you shouldn't have. The Pain Pens. They do dry quickly but they're not immediate. So I've obviously touched I think this area and gotten a little bit of the paint pen over here. I'm not going to stress out too much about that, but what I should not have done is I should not have been drawing on top and laying my hand on on the wet paint. So I need to draw up side here and keep my hand off of my drawing. Then we're going to draw another band. I'm going to get as close as I can to this brown border. Now you don't have to follow this because you might not have the same. Photos situation as me, but essentially what I'm doing here is I've created this band here where I've filled it in with circles and I'm gonna do the same thing here. And then these diagonal lines will go out here. So I'm going to draw as big of a line, or I should say, as far as I can away because I want a lot of space in here. Oh, there we go. Okay. So have this nice oval frame that outlines the frame that has already been created. I'm going to do another parallel line to it. Right inside. I have a very narrow set of lines here or, or border here. And then I have another one up here. And then this wider space in the middle. What I wanna do now is fill in this narrow border with the series of either circles or ovals. You can choose what you'd like best. And these ovals or circles are going to be very small and close together. So there'll be touching. So my oval is touching the oval right next to it as well as these sidelines. And then I'm going to do the same thing to the outside set of lines that I drew. I'm going to go ahead and slide the photograph back. And here. I was just thinking that maybe these little color test or distracting to you all. So we'll go ahead and put this handsome young man back into into this picture frame photo envelope situation that's going on. But we do have a few more steps here to finish off this tangle. So I'm kind of also giving us a minute to dry because I am going to be drawing in this larger band here. And it's very likely that my hand will, will touch some of the areas that I've drawn already. So just give it a second treasure I, and then I will start. Okay? So we want to draw first a zigzag line inside of this band. Just take your time with us. Okey-dokey. So we've created this zigzag line that is going around the inside of that band. And now we're going to start filling inside of these triangles. I'm going to, we'll start here with this one. I'm just going to draw a parallel line to this side of the triangle. And then I'm going to draw another line, but I'm going to start here at the line that I just drew. So it creates this almost like a Y. Okay, let me show you again. So this left side line of this triangle, I'm going to draw a parallel line to it. And then from that line I will draw a parallel line to the right side of the triangle. And I will just keep going back and forth until I felt that space and my area isn't too big, so it shouldn't shouldn't take too many lines. Now, you might want to draw your tangle like this, where you do all the parallel lines on the left side at one time. And then you go back and you do all the parallel lines on the right side at the same time. And then you go back. Can you do all the ones on the left? And then again on the right? So batching like that I find can prevent Les accidents. But you can do whichever method is best for you. So we're just trying to severity simple, straight line over and over again and creates this very cool moments back where I started and see if I can batch all these together. Oops, I forgot this one. And continue around. I'm all gone all the way around. And now we're gonna do the same thing here to these outside triangles. So I'm gonna try to batch as many as I can. So I'll do all the left sides first and then come back and do the right side. And the left again and the right again. Okay. These are a little bit bigger over here, so I'm going to come back into a few of them and add another line there. And in this final section here. And we will be done. Forgot about that one. How cool is that? 8. Vitruvius: The next tangle that we will be drawing is the Vitruvius tangle. And even though it looks pretty intricate and ornate, it's really just circles and squares. That's so I thought instead of doing the background, it would be cool to, to draw the tangle actually on this little girl's dress to kind of make that the focal point of this, this photograph. So I found a photograph that is similar in nature in that it has a nice a nice area. To draw the tangle here on the child's stress. I'm going to start on the left side of the trials stressing down and move across this way. That way I'm not putting my hand on top of the wet IQ. I would say that these are about the size of the end of my finger. I'm going to start by doing a series of these circles that are the same size. And I'm even gonna draw some that are kind of cut off, if you will, which you can tell that they are there. This is going to make this pattern look more three-dimensional instead of flat. And now I want to go back and fill it in with some smaller circles. And I really want to fill up the space and have these circles touching each other. So you're kind of connecting the larger circles to the smaller circles. So it just looks like a bunch of bubbles. And again, I'll have some that go off the edge here. They do not need to be uniform in size. If they are great, if they are not, that's okay too. But because we will be drawing inside of these circles, they don't want them to be too small, so I probably shouldn't do anything smaller than that, unless of course you have a very, very, very fine point pen. All right, so I have some areas on the left side that I need to get to. So I'm just going to turn this around so I can get to it without laying my hand in. The wet. Iq. Okay, so I have filled up a majority of the dress with circles. And now I'm gonna go back inside of each of the circles and draw a square. And I'm going to have that square. The corners of the square touch the edge of that circle. So I'm gonna do it on my larger ones first. I'm going to hold this a little bit higher so you can see hopefully you can see that a little bit. While it's wet, it's harder to see, but it's just a square inside of the circle. And there is the other one that I drew. So I'll start with my larger circles first. And then I want to just draw a circle, excuse me, squares and all the circles on here. You can jump around whatever way works best for you. I started with my bigger ones, but now I'm just gonna do any circle that I see. I think I have done them all. I have this large area here that I'm going to go ahead and fill with another circle and then square. Okay? Now we're gonna go back and add another circle inside of the squares that we just drew. So I told you, you, you, you all at the beginning of this that it was just CAN BE circles and squares, circles and squares. So that is literally all that it is. So I'm gonna go back inside of the square with a circle. Now, some of these are going to be too small to outer circle, and so I will just leave them. And I'm touching that circle if I can, to all the four sides of the square in a large area that I need to fill in. And you'll notice that when you're doings entangle, you'll think you've completed something. And then you'll find an area that you should've done. Happens to me all the time. I'll do this side now. Again, it's just circles inside of the squares. Look, I've missed one. Or it's just saying how I always find one that I've missed. Okay. And then what do you think I'm going to tell you to do next? You're going to add another square. So in the end, each of these will be two squares and two circles. So circle, square, circle, square, if you have any that are too small and you can just skip those and just fill in the large circles with another square. Okay? I think I filled in all the circles that are big enough to add a square inside. If you have a very fine point tipped pin, you'll be able to get into those smaller areas easier. Okay. The final step is to color in the negative space. So that's going to be the space, the background or the area between all the circles. And I have just touched an area it was not dry. So let me just draw over that. Jelly jelly pens as well as the paint pens take lot longer to dry. And then especially or they take a while to dry. And then especially on these photographs, they take a little bit longer because they're not, this is not an absorbent surface like regular drawing paper would be. So a little bit more careful, but okay. Bathwater was saying we're gonna fill in the negative space. So all the areas between the circles with just solid color BY a lot of little triangles probably. I'm just gonna kinda cap off the edge of this sleeve here. And I think it'd be better if I added just the smallest of edges. Another circle there. I think that is it. And as soon as it tries, it's gonna look so cool. This is such a fun tingle pattern. It really adjust. It looks so much more intricate than it actually is. So here's the sample I had. I started this pink one. This was done with a little bit finer of attempt pen. But I love the way they both came out. They look so great. 9. Dyon: Okay, we are going to do the dye on Tangled next. And it's a little hard to see. There's a shine to the pen that I used here, but this is an example of the dye. And the dye, and it's just one of these, but I drew several of the tangle. Let me show you actually the traditional dye on. It is right here. So usually just one is drawn, but I thought it would be cool to fill up the shirt of this woman's in this photograph here. So I found a few other photographs that are similar. These photographs have a little bit more of a shine to them. I'm sorry about that than the other ones I've used, which are a little bit more Matt. But because these are light colored dresses, there'll be easy to draw. And I will do the tangle right on it. And I think I'm gonna go with this one here because there's not this chair here. And just fun little reference that this photograph I believe is my Great grandmother who I knew when I was a very, very small girl, but that was back in the early eighties. But from what I can tell, I should check with my mother to make sure she wouldn't be able to know. I'm 99% sure that this is my, my great grandmother. So that's pretty cool. I don't know if I've showed you guys a lot of these are postcards, so people would send photographs as postcards. Just a neat little thing to that I wanted to point out to you all. O and here, here this woman IS kit Brown at looks like. So I'm going to add the Diane take Kate tangle to kids dress here to really embellish it very similarly to the last tangle that Vitruvius that we did on the little, the little baby's dressing gap. So here we go. For this photograph, I'm going to be drawing the tangle using Jelly Roll pen. And the reason I'm choosing the jelly roll is because of the fine tip. And this is a smaller photograph. And the dress that I'm drawing on is going to be even smaller. So I want something with a pretty small tip to it. First thing I wanna do is as always, check to make sure that my pen is working well. I'm going to start up here and I think I'll do one large die on here in the top part of her dress. I'm gonna suggest that if you decide to do something like that, to not draw the center of the tangled right in the center of her body, kind of offset it. It'll just be more appealing to the eye. So the Diane tingle starts out with. Just some crossed lines. So like across. And then I'm going to cross this point again and again. And you'll notice that my lines are not perfectly straight. They have a little bit of a curve to them. Okay? Now I'm going to draw a curved line going around this center point here. And it's going to start to look like a flower. Okay? And then I will do the same thing again, but just a little further out. And again, if there's any space and even looks like I can get another line here. Awesome. I'm going to add two more of these dye on tangles down here in the bottom. So there'll be a total of three. I always say in art that odd numbers are better for composition, they're more interesting. So if we have one big flower up here and then two more down here, I'm gonna go somewhere else on her dress and start with that. Crossed the line. And then I will start my curved lines all the way around. And another set of curved lines. And another set. I have this line here that is sticking out. And I want to kind of even out this pattern. So I will just draw a little bit. Just continue that straight line out. Okay? And then I'm gonna do a third of the dye on down here. And maybe I'll put it right here in the center. And I'm just going to fill up the rest of her dress. And here we go again, continuing around with curved lines. And then we're going to add a little bit more of embellishment within each of these kind of flower shapes that we've created. And I'm just gonna do that with a little lines. So I'm going to just draw this larger for you all to see. Okay, so what I'd started out by doing was drawing some just straight lines radiating from the center point. Now I'm gonna go to the curved line that I drew the first area and I'm going to draw some straight lines radiating from it. Like so. And I would just continue on. And then I would even do it out here and tell I filled up all of the curved lines. So bring this back in. Hope that was helpful in being able to see since this is so small. Okay. There you go, you can see it. And just a little bit more dimension just makes them a little bit more interesting than leaving it blank. But if you like this and you like it more, just the line drawing, you're welcome to leave it like that, but I am going to fill this in. There we go. So I'm looking at this and I'm really distracted by her arm over here. So I'm just going to go back and extend this out even more. I think that's a lot less distracting me performers. So that is the Diane tangle. And you could just do it on a portion if you wanted to. You could just do one almost like a massage or something that someone was wearing. But I really like adding it to both of them. 10. Onamato: Ok, I have one more final tangle for you all. And it is called on a motto. And it's so cool. Kinda reminds me of like jellyfish tentacles, but I decided to use it here on this photograph as a backdrop, maybe like a tapestry or a curtain that's hanging in the background. I found a photograph that I thought would work great for it. And when I saw this, I immediately thought of peaky blinders. I don't know if you all have watched that show, but this looks like Thomas Shelby to me. Hope you can see that, but I don't know. And you guys can leave it in the reviews are comments that book you think that's it. And Tommy Shelby, predecessor. Anyway, I am going to put the Animoto tangle here and the background behind this couple. I'm gonna see if I can yes, I can remove it. It'll make it a lot easier. I am going to kind of wipe it off. There's a lot of dust that's collected underneath here. So I'm gonna kind of clean that up. I'm going to clean it up though with a paper towel. I don't want to use my hands or to keep as much of the oil off with it is I can just because it is aged because then this will just help the ink stick to it a little bit better if there's dirt there, it will get won't stick very well. So I'll just lightly wipe that away. Yeah. And you can see a little bit of the dark there just from time. Okay. First I want to start with just a curved line from the top of the photo down to to the couple here or to the where it kind of feeds into black. I'm not gonna do anything down here. And then I'm going to draw another line parallel to it. Pretty close. But it's a lot lighter than it should be. So I just wanted to test this a little bit more to make sure it's running properly. That looks a little bit better. Okay. I'm not going to worry about it too much, but I don't want to continue on without a didn't want to continue on without checking it. Then I'm going to skip a little space and draw another curved line. And then another line right next to it. So curve lines and then parallel lines to those curb lines. Between each of these sets of lines, I'm going to draw some large circles and they are going to be touching each other. And the edge of these lines. I like to start right in the middle. I don't like to draw up here at the top first. And then I'll come below it. And I'm gonna do that for all of these bands if you will. And I'm just going to kind of imagine that that line is continuing down here behind them. So I want to fill in even these areas between them where you don't see the entirety of this circle. Just to imagine that it's there. Okay? The next step, we are going to fill in these very narrow sets of parallel lines with a whole bunch of circles. So just really enjoyed this for relaxing repetitiveness of just drawing a very simple shape over and over and over and over again. That's just one of the wonderful benefits of this entangled practice is this meditative drawing. So usually I talk about keeping your hand office, the paint pan. You want to make sure that you're not smearing it. So minus dry, but make sure you check that. Or turn this around and draw where your hand is not on any portion of the drawing. Okay, so now that we've finished all the tiny circles, we're gonna draw even more circles. But this is just a, a lot of circles for this table. We are going to fill in these kind of triangular areas that are here on the inbetween, the larger circles. I'm gonna start over here on this side where it's a little bit more dry. Okay? So all I'm doing is drawing a circle that touches all the edges. And then the final step will be to fill in any areas that are left over from where we just drew those circles. There's always a little spot that I met us. You're going to turn this around. And once we are done, how cool Does that look? Really glad I chose this red wine color. You know, it's just this subtle background to this lovely portrait. And I'm going to slide it back into this picture frame mat that it came in so we can see how it looks. Looks pretty awesome. So there you go. The tomato tingle. Done with the red wine Pascal pin. For the Mr. Thomas Shelby? No, just kidding. I do think it does look like Thomas Shelby though. If he had a twin. 11.

They are super simple and they all have a similar start. So there'll be Really quick and easy to learn, starting first with the floors tangle. I'm going to fill in the background of this portrait of three young men starting with perpendicular line, excuse me, parallel lines. And then I will add perpendicular lines. Forgot which direction I was gone. Okay. Now that I have all of the lines drawn, I'm going to go back in and add those little kind of curved track diamonds to the intersecting points. And we'll allow. The next tangle in the Bonus Series is the mingle tangle, which is just a spiral line drawn in between those intersecting lines. But the spiral is drawn with straight lines. So just starting with some parallel lines in the background and then crisscrossing them. And then the final step is to draw a spiral line inside each of these spaces. And using straight lines from that spiral instead of curved. And there we go. The E and mingled tangle, super-simple. The final tangle in this little mini Bonus Series of tangles is the Chilean tangle. We're going to start it the same way we started the last two and then we'll just add a few little curved lines in each of the squares that we've created. Start now with parallel lines. Then I want to come back and cross them. And then the last step, we're just going to add some curved lines into each of these curve will start at the bottom of that V-shape and go up to the sides. So just simple curved lines. Alright, I'm gonna turn this around so I don't get my hand in it while it's still trying and go ahead and finish out this side. And we are done with the third tangle and this fun little bonus video with three extra tangles. So the Chilean tangle, super simple.
