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.

Now that the Zentangle MatchMaking series is over in the Art Club, we started a new series, focusing on Tangle Combos. This is the second session of the series, and since it's the beginning of the year, nothing more appropriate than using the classic 4 tangles used for a Back to Basics: Crescent Moon, Holibaugh, Printemps and Bales.
