Art Raffle app for Zentangle • Eni Oken, CZT

A new update to our free app Art Raffle is now available! We have a total of 431 cards.

Now we have ALL the tangles included in the Inktober Tangles list! Inktober Tangles is an event organized by Stephanie Jennifer based on the worldwide event Inktober, originally launched by Jake Parker. You can find the links to all the Inktober Tangles here in Stephanie's super useful PDF download.

Thank you to the artists who granted me permission to include their tangles in the app. Oopsmi (Hanny Nura), Effie (Annett Rumpler), Tabs (Tomàs Padrós), Zigoli (Deb Bowyer), Round Square (Karin Guzzetta), TreeLeaf (Debbie New), Ple-a (Apple Lim), Paradisum (Oswaldo Burbano Sandoval) and the super fun Morrisseau (Cherryl Moote).

How to use the Art Raffle app during Inktober

Here's a suggestion of how you can use the Art Raffle during Inktober to come up with cool ideas and combinations.

Step 1: Start a new Guided Raffle game

Start a new game by clicking on Raffles (upper left). When prompted to Create a New Raffle, choose GUIDED mode.

Step 2: Add a string to the new game

Tap on any of the colored squares. The first card of a Guided Mode game is always a string. Accept by tapping or reject by swiping. If you rejected it, tap again. The game will continue to give you strings until you accept one.

Step 3: Add the Inktober tangle of the day through the search box

Use the search tool (upper right corner) to search for the name of the tangle of the day. In this example I searched for LunarFlux, the tangle for day 1. Tap once to enlarge and tap again to add it to the raffle game. Note, the Inktober list is not included in the app. Find it here. PDF download

Remember that you can always swipe SIDEWAYS to see the back of the card with useful information, including the step-out and a link to the person who deconstructed and named the tangle.

Step 4: Add more tangles or enhancers to the game

Now that the tangle of the day is selected and in place, let the app randomizer come up with ideas for you! Add other tangles or enhancers by tapping any of the colored squares. Each time you will be prompted to choose either a new Tangle or a new Enhancer. A random card will be presented to you.

Add as many as you like! Tap to accept, or swipe up to reject.

Remember that you don't have to fill all 8 spaces. Many beautiful, fun and meditative tiles can be created with only three tangles and a couple of enhancers. It's the PROCESS that matters!
