This week Laura´s challenge is to find our comfort zone and to move beyond it into the DANGER ZONE!
So first I thought about my comfort zone when I was creating a Zentangle or ZIA. I wrote down point by point in my sketchbook (see below!). And these are the points for my danger zone:
- no shading
- use a string (No. 76 on TanglePatterns.com)
- drawing with several colors
- use never or rare used tangles (Enyshou, Isochor, MI2, ´Nzeppel, Verdigogh, Yincut and Zander )
Here is my tile…
(clicking on any photo in this blog will enlarge it.)
Using a string and these tangles is OK. I like drawing with several colors because some tangles get a nice look. But this tile has hardly any contrast and no depth! In the end I am not happy with it. I miss the shading very much!
However I like this challenge. Only by doing unusual things I come to new conclusions and get new ideas.
Thanks to:
