Zentangle Drawing Tutorial: Back to the Beginning

Over the past few weeks, I've enjoyed all kinds of new materials and fancy techniques in my Zentangle practice. While I love this type of exploration, it also made me long for a return to what drew me to Zentangle to begin with: the meditative, healing practice of putting pen to paper. I wanted to release the pressure to produce and embrace drawing one stroke at a time. So, here I revisit the first tile shown in the Zentangle Primer 1 using only the classic Zentangle materials. Enjoy!
