Toodles and Printemps

Playing with Printemps and Zentangle's new tangle Toodles. I found inspiration in the tangleation by the fantastically talented Lynn Mead to create a version with tons of lines and depth, using echolines. Love these two tangles together.

Really like how dramatic this turned out, with all the decoration on Printemps. Here's a little sequence with the line-art:

I used a two gray copics to explore and create basic shading (N0 and N2). After that, I worked the tiny corners with a regular pencil and then with a black colored pencil. And finally, I blended the black pencil with a marker blender.
