Use Micron pens to make drawing your tangles simple and permanent.</p><p>Zentangle<font size="1">(R)</font> is about filling spaces using patterns that start with a simple line and become more beautiful and seemingly complex as areas are filled. The process is appealing to graphics artists as well as those just learning to draw. If you don't think you can draw at all, tangling will show you different!</p><p>The Zentangle Method<font size="1">(R)</font>, created by artists Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas, is meditation achieved through pattern-making. A "Zentangle" is a drawing that looks complicated, but is built one line at a time. Simple tangles, or patterns, are combined in an unplanned way that grows and changes in amazing directions. With your mind engaged in drawing, your body relaxes. Anxiety and stress move to the back burner. Often, new insights are uncovered along with a sense of confidence in your creative abilities.</p><p>Learn the basics of Zentangle<font size="1">(R)</font>, techniques to incorporate color and shading to polish your tangles, and find over 100 new tangles to try, all inside <i>Totally Tangled</i>!</p>
