Kevin's first

My first tangle.  Shading is hard!

Let's start drawing

Welcome friends and family.  Recently I purchased a drawing book on a whim on how to draw patterns that I thought looked interesting.  I didn't do much research but when the book came it turned out I had ordered a book dedicated to the study of Zen Tangles.  Zen Tangles are a simple form of artwork; focus is concentrated on linework and patterns instead of creating a grand masterpiece.  Immediately I enjoyed the calming effect of watching the ink flow across the paper and started to share my experiences and new artwork with friends and family.  Several people expressed interest in learning with me and I encouraged them to buy the necessary materials and start themselves.  This blog is a place for us to share a history of our work for critique, praise, and appreciation. I look forward to seeing everyone's artwork as we learn this skill together.
