It really doesn’t have to look like mine or anyone else’s tangling. What you draw is unique to you and that is special. It’s all about the process rather than the outcome. I hope that you are inspired to do more tangling. 😊
Wow Jo! Your work is so beautiful, I loved what you were demonstrating at the beginning, the way it looked, the clear, gentle way you explained it and the way the picture developed. Then, at the end I was blown away! Thank you so much. You have greatly inspired me, it’s amazing what beautiful pictures you created with a fairly simple process. I can’t wait to try it!
Oh! Thank you, Dimitra. Your comment really means a lot to me. I will, very soon, be creating a lot more short videos and offering class videos as I know that many people would like to take a class but can't make the time or date. This means that everyone, wherever they are, will be able to access a Zenjo class. I have, very recently, started a TikTok page @zenjozentangle and am adding regular short videos. Pop over and take a look. I'd love to see what you tangle. Jo
Hi Donna, That is wonderful to hear! I'm so glad that you enjoy them. I am not an IT whiz kid so you get a simple video which I hope connects and inspires you. Do pop to my Facebook page Zenjo Zentangle as I have other bits and bobs on there plus my online classes are listed. Sometimes doing a class with a live and interactive teacher can make all the difference. Thank you for taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it.
So so fun. And it fills a space so well. Thank you for this and the name explanation is so awesome. Something so simple is so effective and gives us a way to make something pretty that helps us pass time. A hospital stay, waiting for a friend, staying occupied during a boring speech (do be discreet).
I love this!! Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Sadly, my hands shake and I'm not longer good with my handwriting and I've been searching for something I could do to keep my hands busy. I think I can zentangle and not worry about my shaky lines! Again, thank you!!
Hi Christine, The beauty of Zentangle is that you can draw in any way that is right for you. wobbly lines are not mistakes they simply make your work unique. The process of drawing Zentangle is much more important than the end result. if we enjoy our time, quietly drawing one line after another and have some beautiful, unique art at the end of it that is all we need. I do teach online classes and also have most of these available as a recording, too. If you really want to know more about the Zentangle Method I would encourage you to take an introduction class with a Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT). This will give you the core principles of the Zentangle Method and some key tangles, techniques and terminology. It can make all the difference. many of us teach online so it doesn't matter where you live. Pop me an email if you would like to know more. Jo info@zenjo.uk
Oh, Yes! Zentangle does catch you! There is SO much fun to discover. I'll soon be offering, on my website, full 2 hour video classes which will enable me to teach, support and guide people on a lot more tangles & techniques. This will include a beginners Introduction to Zentangle class and a follow-on series of Understanding Zentangle classes to consolidate what you have learned and build up your confidence to explore your own Zentangle experience. These RUclips videos give you a taste of what is possible.
Beautiful work.. so calming too. There tremendous potential to use as embroidery/.. around the neckline of a dress, the border of a tablecloth, elegant bedsheets..
Hi Madelaine, You can definitely draw! The beauty of Zentangle is that anyone can do it. Zentangle is a fun, easy to learn way to create lovely images by drawing structured patterns.

안녕, 마음에 드셨다니 기쁩니다! 무엇이든 젠탱글을 그릴 수 있지만 항상 여유가 있는 최고의 재료를 사용하는 것을 권장합니다. 이것은 당신이 만든 것에 가치를 부여하고 따라서 당신에게도 가치를 부여합니다. 저는 주로 젠탱글HQ에서 추천하는 재료를 사용합니다. 이것들은: 01에서 08까지 다양한 크기의 검은색 사쿠라 마이크론 펜. 보관용 안료 잉크가 포함되어 있어 사용하기 좋습니다. 짧은 길이의 2B 연필을 사용합니다. 음영 처리가 더 부드럽고 길이가 짧을수록 잡기가 더 쉽기 때문입니다. 토르티용은 흑연을 혼합하여 부드러운 음영을 만드는 데 도움이 되는 꼬인 종이 도구입니다. 좋은 미술품 가게에서 구할 수 있습니다. "타일"은 100% 면으로 만든 오리지널 Zentangle 타일입니다. 좋은 품질의 수채화 용지와 유사한 아름다운 종이 표면. Zentangle HQ 웹사이트 www.zentangle.com에서 모두 사용할 수 있습니다. 한국에는 공인 Zentangle 교사가 꽤 많이 있으며 그들은 여러분이 펜을 구하는 데도 도움을 줄 수 있을 것입니다. 목록은 다음과 같습니다. zentangle.events/certified-zentangle-teachers/?action=cztlist 함정희라는 이름을 임의로 선택했는데 그녀도 적극적으로 가르치고 있는 것 같습니다.

Hi, Zentangle HQ produce a whole range of tiles made from good quality paper. The corners of the tiles are rounded. You can see their tiles on their website zentangle.com/collections/paper-tiles I use these but will also cut my own from sheets of the Fabriano Tiepolo paper used too make the official tiles. I have a corner rounder to clip and create this softer finish. It is important to use the best quality materials that you can afford as this not only gives you a more rewarding creative experience, which adds value to what you create, it also gives you a greater satisfaction. Good quality watercolour paper is not too expensive. I hope that helps. Do pop me an email if you have any questions. I am happy too answer. info@zenjo.uk Best wishes, Jo
You can draw Zentangle with anything but we always recommend that you use the best materials that you can afford. This gives value to what you create and therefore value to you, too. I generally use the materials recommended by Zentangle HQ. These are: Black Sakura Micron pens in varying sizes from 01 - 08. These have archival pigment ink and are great to use. We use a short length 2B pencil as this is softer for shading and the short length makes it easier to hold. The tortillon is a twisted paper tool that helps us blend the graphite to create soft shading. You can get these at any good art store. The "tiles" are original Zentangle tiles made from 100% cotton. a lovely paper surface, similar to good quality watercolour paper. They are all available on the Zentangle HQ website. If you are in the UK pop me an email info@zenjo.uk as I usually have some basic supplies and a variety of Zentangle tiles available. I hope that helps. I also teach online classes to all levels of tangler from beginner to more advanced. Maybe you might like to join me? I look forward to hearing from you. Jo info@zenjo.uk www.zenjo.uk Facebook: Zenjo Zentangle
I am using a 3.5"/9cm square Zentangle tile made from Fabriano Tiepolo 100% cotton paper. You can find these on www.zentangle.com. You can tangle on any paper but I would always recommend using the best quality you can as this gives more value to what you create and more value to that creative experience. I wouldn't use basic printer paper....unless that is all you have got. 🙂
This is 2 years old, so she May not answer it’s been a bit since she last uploaded anything. But she is using a .3 fine line Sakura Micron Pens and any paper to start then get some Bristol paper or what ever you like.

@@yaimamess1111 Hi, Thanks for answering. I have been super busy teaching so hadn't been able to reply immediately. You can see my full answer to Hilary, below. I haven't had much time recently to update my videos on RUclips but will be adding more soon. It actually does make a difference what paper you use and I would always recommend the best quality paper you can afford, such as a watercolour paper and a Zentangle original "tile", in particular, as these are lovely to draw upon. You can find more detailed information about the recommended Zentangle materials on the HQ website www.zentangle.com. I'm also happy to answer questions so just email me if you would like any information about materials or my classes. Best wishes, Jo

Hi, This is a great question. the patterns created in Zentangle can sometimes resemble the drawings created when doodling. The very big difference is that we 'doodle' when distracted or doing something else - on the phone, in a meeting etc. doodling is done is a mindless and unfocused way. Zentangle, on the other hand, is created 'mindfully', where our focus is purely on drawing one line at a time. Mindfulness is very important for our well-being (as is being creative) but it can sometimes be hard, in our busy lives, to allow ourselves or be able to be 'in the moment'. Research has now shown that creating Zentangle is a proactive way to easily reach a mindful state. The benefits of creating Zentangle are wide ranging. You can find out more on the official Zentangle website www.zentangle.com I would also be happy to answer any other questions, just send me an email info@zenjo.uk Best wishes, Jo
Hi S Majumdar, I'm a little confused by your questions and why you think being creative is a waste of time. Research shows that all people benefit hugely from being creative and this improves their overall physical, mental and emotional well-being. That, to me, is not a 'waste' of anyone's time. I assume that you may think that all art is therefore a waste of time, which is rather sad. Creating Zentangle art has brought a sense of joy, well-being, creativity and connection to millions of people across the world, and I am sure that they do not think it is a waste of their time. I'm so sorry that you feel this way and hope that you do have some creative joy in you life. Kind regards, Jo
Actually, this kind of artwork is very calming, meditative, and frees the mind to explore new ideas as the hand is engrossed in repetitive yet creative work. Adult colouring books serve the same purpose. These are the new therapies.. try it sometime. :D
@@goldenmoon2023 Thank you for also relying. Yes, Zentangle is so much more than just art and certainly isn't a waste of time. I suspect the person commenting may be a "troll".
Hi Jeanette, I'm not sure what you mean about 'what is the purpose' of my drawing. I don't believe that being creative needs a specific 'purpose' or that any artist creates for a 'purpose', other than it is a pleasure and maybe the 'purpose' is that sense of pleasure and achievement. I am a Certified Zentangle Teacher and I create Zentangle art for myself and I teach classes to those who are interested in being able to create their own. any creative activity can be so very good for our own well-being and gives a sense of achievement. Zentangle is a fun, easy to learn way to create lovely images by drawing structured patterns. Anyone can do it by drawing one stroke at a time. Yes, it's for fun and the joy of being creative but it can be so much more than that. It is a mindful artform that research is showing it to have a lot well-being benefits, from mental health, pain reduction when drawing, increase in self esteem, reduction in anxiety etc. But one of the great things about Zentangle is the wonderful world wide Zentangle community. I teach people from all over the world and many of these have made connections with the others. If you are interested I would suggest that you take a look at the HQ website www.zentangle.com I also have lots of information on my website www.zenjo.uk and my Facebook page : Zenjo Zentangle Please feel free to pop me an email if you would like to know more. info@zenjo.uk Best wishes, Jo
@@esso9763 Yes, creating Zentangle is amazing on so many levels. I'm pleased that you are enjoying the videos. I will soon be offering, on my website, full 2 hour video classes which will enable me to teach and support people to learn a whole lot more.
I draw because I like drawing. It doesn't serve any purpose except that it makes me happy I guess it's the same as a person going shopping or watching TV I draw because I'd like to draw. It doesn't matter if it's a Stickman
So beautiful with such a simple zentangle ❤ Thank you for demonstrating this x
Thank you...its your voice that does it for me. 😊 mine looked nothing like it...never the less loved the tutorial.
It really doesn’t have to look like mine or anyone else’s tangling. What you draw is unique to you and that is special. It’s all about the process rather than the outcome. I hope that you are inspired to do more tangling. 😊
I really like your demonstration - clear explanations
I feel it’s important to make things clear and simple.
This is so calming and beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
I love this pattern and your tutorial is lovely and clear. Thank you so much.
This is so awesome, very soothing and an easy to do thing while waiting anywhere. Thank you so very much for sharing....I'm gonna do it! 💖

Ich bin froh, dass es Ihnen gefällt. Ich würde gerne sehen, was Sie mit Boofont erstellen. :)
Beautiful
Love this tangle it is cheerful!
Thank you, Janeen....and it is named after I taught it to you (the first person to see it!) and your hilarious observation.... Bouffant hairdo! #Boofont
I embroidery so this. Would be beautiful on a pillowcase
I'd love to see what it looks like embroidered. 😍
The flower design you drew is a quilting design, also! Fun to do once you learn it, but it has a steep learning curve, for me, anyway!
Oooo, is it? I'd love to see it on a quilt.
Lovely❤
Really Perfact!#
Thanks for sharing God bless you with all
Awesome
The only Bouffant I know of is a hair style. Never EVER heard of this type before :) cute!
😂 Well, as you heard in the video, Boofont got it's name because a student said that her tangling looked like a bouffant hair do!!
WOW!
Love it! What type of pen are you using, please? ❤
Hi Susan,
I generally use Sakura Micron pens, nib sizes 02 & 05 . You might be interested to know that I will, later this week, be releasing my Introduction to Zentangle Video Course. In this course I take you through the Zentangle Method, creating 2 full tiles in two separate lessons, with supporting documentation, as well as giving detailed information about the materials that I use. The Video Course booking information will be published on my website www.zenjo.uk and on my Facebook page - Zenjo Zentangle.
Best wishes,
Jo
Love this. After you use the pencil to begin the shade, what is the white tool that completes the shade?
It’s a Tortillon made from twisted paper. You can get them in most art stores.

Gratidão, forte abraço do Brasil!
Abrazo aceptado, gracias!! 🙂Mis mejores deseos desde Gales, Reino Unido
넘 멋있어요 그런데 사용 하시는 펜은 어떤 팬인지 궁금 하네요 알려주시면 감사 하겠어요
안녕,
마음에 드셨다니 기쁩니다!
무엇이든 젠탱글을 그릴 수 있지만 항상 여유가 있는 최고의 재료를 사용하는 것을 권장합니다. 이것은 당신이 만든 것에 가치를 부여하고 따라서 당신에게도 가치를 부여합니다.
저는 주로 젠탱글HQ에서 추천하는 재료를 사용합니다.
이것들은:
01에서 08까지 다양한 크기의 검은색 사쿠라 마이크론 펜. 보관용 안료 잉크가 포함되어 있어 사용하기 좋습니다.
짧은 길이의 2B 연필을 사용합니다. 음영 처리가 더 부드럽고 길이가 짧을수록 잡기가 더 쉽기 때문입니다.
토르티용은 흑연을 혼합하여 부드러운 음영을 만드는 데 도움이 되는 꼬인 종이 도구입니다. 좋은 미술품 가게에서 구할 수 있습니다.
"타일"은 100% 면으로 만든 오리지널 Zentangle 타일입니다. 좋은 품질의 수채화 용지와 유사한 아름다운 종이 표면.
Zentangle HQ 웹사이트 www.zentangle.com에서 모두 사용할 수 있습니다.
한국에는 공인 Zentangle 교사가 꽤 많이 있으며 그들은 여러분이 펜을 구하는 데도 도움을 줄 수 있을 것입니다.
목록은 다음과 같습니다.

Do these paper tiles come ready cut with rounded corners or do you create them yourself?
Hi,
Zentangle HQ produce a whole range of tiles made from good quality paper. The corners of the tiles are rounded.
You can see their tiles on their website zentangle.com/collections/paper-tiles
I use these but will also cut my own from sheets of the Fabriano Tiepolo paper used too make the official tiles. I have a corner rounder to clip and create this softer finish.
It is important to use the best quality materials that you can afford as this not only gives you a more rewarding creative experience, which adds value to what you create, it also gives you a greater satisfaction. Good quality watercolour paper is not too expensive.
I hope that helps.
Do pop me an email if you have any questions. I am happy too answer.

Best wishes,
Jo
@@zenjozentangle Thank you 😊
Would make a great quilting pattern
I tend to get what I call bouncy hands and so mine definitely looked like a hair doo, but i shall keep practicing.
If you keep tangling you may find that the bounciness reduces as you gain more control. We all get a bit bouncy sometimes!
Which pen we need to use for it.?
You can draw Zentangle with anything but we always recommend that you use the best materials that you can afford. This gives value to what you create and therefore value to you, too.
I generally use the materials recommended by Zentangle HQ.
These are:
Black Sakura Micron pens in varying sizes from 01 - 08. These have archival pigment ink and are great to use.
We use a short length 2B pencil as this is softer for shading and the short length makes it easier to hold.
The tortillon is a twisted paper tool that helps us blend the graphite to create soft shading. You can get these at any good art store.
The "tiles" are original Zentangle tiles made from 100% cotton. a lovely paper surface, similar to good quality watercolour paper.
They are all available on the Zentangle HQ website.
If you are in the UK pop me an email info@zenjo.uk as I usually have some basic supplies and a variety of Zentangle tiles available.
I hope that helps.
I also teach online classes to all levels of tangler from beginner to more advanced. Maybe you might like to join me?
I look forward to hearing from you.

What kind of paper are you using?
I am using a 3.5"/9cm square Zentangle tile made from Fabriano Tiepolo 100% cotton paper. You can find these on www.zentangle.com.
You can tangle on any paper but I would always recommend using the best quality you can as this gives more value to what you create and more value to that creative experience.
I wouldn't use basic printer paper....unless that is all you have got. 🙂
Thank you
What supplies do you use?
This is 2 years old, so she May not answer it’s been a bit since she last uploaded anything. But she is using a .3 fine line Sakura Micron Pens and any paper to start then get some Bristol paper or what ever you like.

@@yaimamess1111 Hi,
Thanks for answering.
I have been super busy teaching so hadn't been able to reply immediately. You can see my full answer to Hilary, below.
I haven't had much time recently to update my videos on RUclips but will be adding more soon.
It actually does make a difference what paper you use and I would always recommend the best quality paper you can afford, such as a watercolour paper and a Zentangle original "tile", in particular, as these are lovely to draw upon.
You can find more detailed information about the recommended Zentangle materials on the HQ website www.zentangle.com.
I'm also happy to answer questions so just email me if you would like any information about materials or my classes.
Best wishes,
Jo

Why is this not just ‘doodling’ ? ?? 🤔
Hi,
This is a great question.
the patterns created in Zentangle can sometimes resemble the drawings created when doodling.
The very big difference is that we 'doodle' when distracted or doing something else - on the phone, in a meeting etc. doodling is done is a mindless and unfocused way.
Zentangle, on the other hand, is created 'mindfully', where our focus is purely on drawing one line at a time. Mindfulness is very important for our well-being (as is being creative) but it can sometimes be hard, in our busy lives, to allow ourselves or be able to be 'in the moment'.
Research has now shown that creating Zentangle is a proactive way to easily reach a mindful state. The benefits of creating Zentangle are wide ranging.
You can find out more on the official Zentangle website www.zentangle.com
I would also be happy to answer any other questions, just send me an email info@zenjo.uk
Best wishes,
Jo
What’s your point? Why? Who has so much time to waste?
Hi S Majumdar,
I'm a little confused by your questions and why you think being creative is a waste of time.
Research shows that all people benefit hugely from being creative and this improves their overall physical, mental and emotional well-being. That, to me, is not a 'waste' of anyone's time. I assume that you may think that all art is therefore a waste of time, which is rather sad.
Creating Zentangle art has brought a sense of joy, well-being, creativity and connection to millions of people across the world, and I am sure that they do not think it is a waste of their time.
I'm so sorry that you feel this way and hope that you do have some creative joy in you life.
Kind regards,
Jo
Actually, this kind of artwork is very calming, meditative, and frees the mind to explore new ideas as the hand is engrossed in repetitive yet creative work. Adult colouring books serve the same purpose. These are the new therapies.. try it sometime. :D
@@goldenmoon2023 Thank you for also relying. Yes, Zentangle is so much more than just art and certainly isn't a waste of time. I suspect the person commenting may be a "troll".
What is the purpose of your drawing? Is it just for fun?
Hi Jeanette,
I'm not sure what you mean about 'what is the purpose' of my drawing. I don't believe that being creative needs a specific 'purpose' or that any artist creates for a 'purpose', other than it is a pleasure and maybe the 'purpose' is that sense of pleasure and achievement.
I am a Certified Zentangle Teacher and I create Zentangle art for myself and I teach classes to those who are interested in being able to create their own.
any creative activity can be so very good for our own well-being and gives a sense of achievement. Zentangle is a fun, easy to learn way to create lovely images by drawing structured patterns. Anyone can do it by drawing one stroke at a time.
Yes, it's for fun and the joy of being creative but it can be so much more than that. It is a mindful artform that research is showing it to have a lot well-being benefits, from mental health, pain reduction when drawing, increase in self esteem, reduction in anxiety etc.
But one of the great things about Zentangle is the wonderful world wide Zentangle community. I teach people from all over the world and many of these have made connections with the others.
If you are interested I would suggest that you take a look at the HQ website www.zentangle.com
I also have lots of information on my website www.zenjo.uk and my Facebook page : Zenjo Zentangle

Nicely said! ❤
Hi Joanna, this craft is so awesome ! Loved it and learnt it too ….will be starting it soonest ! Keep us learn more about it. ❤️
@@esso9763 Yes, creating Zentangle is amazing on so many levels. I'm pleased that you are enjoying the videos. I will soon be offering, on my website, full 2 hour video classes which will enable me to teach and support people to learn a whole lot more.
I draw because I like drawing. It doesn't serve any purpose except that it makes me happy
I guess it's the same as a person going shopping or watching TV
I draw because I'd like to draw. It doesn't matter if it's a Stickman
Beautiful
Thank you 🙂
