You will need paper, a simple pencil and an eraser, capillary pens of different colors, and … a desire to draw, of course.
Initially, there is no special concept in my drawings. I begin to draw abstract lines, shapes, and then, in the process of drawing, a general picture emerges.
This drawing technique is known as Zentangle & Doodling / Zentangle and Doodling.
The zentangle is a new and evolving art form that combines creativity, meditation and pleasure. Almost everyone can enjoy drawing intricate designs using the easy-to-learn zentangle method. You don't need to be an artist or purchase expensive materials and equipment, all you need is paper, a pen (liner) and a pencil. Zentangle allows you to relax and reduce stress, while simultaneously creating something beautiful.
Doodle (translated as "doodle") is a focused drawing made while a person's attention is occupied by something else. Doodles are simple drawings that can have specific representational meanings or can be just an abstract form.
Zendoodling is a hybrid of art mixed with Zentangle style with Doodling. Zendoodles are often freeform and abstract in appearance, sometimes interspersed with color.
This is how everything is confused.
Here are some drawing patterns that you can apply to your drawings in different shapes and interpretations, while creating your own unique drawing:






Well, now - my processes! I started drawing this drawing from the lower left corner:

Then I wanted circles. It is easier to use a compass in this situation. But, since I did not have it, I simply circled around with a pencil containers of different diameters. With a ruler and a pencil, I divided the circles into sections, so it is easier to fill them with patterns.

When all the borders have been outlined with a pencil, you can start filling the sections of the circle with various patterns. Starting from the center.

I continue to fill the sections with different patterns.

The question does not even arise with what patterns to fill in the following sections, you just start, the pen will draw itself, since this is a very exciting process!

We are nearing completion, filling the last sections of the circle with patterns.

When you're done, use the eraser to gently erase the pencil lines to make the work look neat. Done!

Of course, it is not necessary to enter text in pictures, but I thought of something like a book with interesting thoughts in pictures. Here are some more pages from it (and the drawing process):

In this work, start from the top corner. Abstract figures are drawn and filled with dots, lines, etc. with the same capillary handles.


Next, we outline the contours and also fill them with various patterns.

We supplement the drawing with color accents.


This Japanese bias drawing is drawn with thinner gel pens.

She started with a sketch:

Next, again fill all the shapes with different patterns.

And again - capillary handles. Small houses.

We act according to the above principle, first - the figures and the general plan, then - filling the figures with abstract patterns.


A green capillary pen and a black gel pen are used here. The principle is the same, shapes and patterned filling.


Do you want flowers?

From all corners, I drew fantasy flowers that seem to tend to the middle, and filled them with various patterns using multi-colored pens.
