Tan Depths

An interesting technique emerged yesterday — who knows where from — I was playing around with the white gel pen over tan paper and thought to myself, what if I added depth to these lines? This is the result.

Here you can see the first one I made, before and after shading, using the tangles Hollibaugh, Floo and a highly stylized version of Twing (all Zentangle). Really like how the Hollibaugh crosses on itself, there is a lot of potential there.

This is the second one, using a stylized version of Ixorus, Hollibaugh and Fescu. I can see how the technique has enormous potential and will probably take me into more weird directions. What a fun process!
