I’m doing the Inktober challenge this year! This video is for Inktober 2025-Day 1. The prompt from Jake is Mustache and the tangle from Stephanie’s list is Festune.

Inktober is a drawing challenge. It was started in 2009 by Jake Parker as a challenge for him draw, in ink, every day for 31 days. He created a list of 31 prompts to give himself a starting point. You can find more about Jake and Inktober as well as find this year’s list of prompts here: https://inktober.com/

Draw in ink? That’s what we do when we practice the Zentangle Method of drawing! It was an obvious fit. I’ve been participating in Inktober since I’ve been a CZT! OK, maybe not every year, but I’ve done a few.. For several years now, Stephanie Jennifer, a CZT, has been putting a list of 31 Tangles for Inktober. You can find her Inktober 2025 list here: http://www.everythingis-art.com/2025/...

In this video I will guide you through the 8 steps of the Magical Zentangle Method of drawing. We’ll create a tile using the prompt (mustache) and the tangle Festune. So, grab your supplies and draw with me. I’ll be drawing on a tan tile, so I’ll be using the tools below. If you don’t have tan tiles or paper, just use white or whatever you have! Let’s slow down together!

What do you need to draw along with me?

• 1 tan Zentangle 3Z tile (each side of the triangle tile measures about 3.5 in or 8.89 cm)
• Sakura Micron PN or 05 light and/or dark brown (or your favorite pen)
• Graphite pencil & tortillion
• White chalk pencil & tortillion

I'm an advocate of using what you have! No special materials are required for this class other than paper and a pen. Remember you can use any paper and pens you like!

I’d love to see the tiles you create! If you post yours on social, please tag me or add #angelchoirmosic this way we can find them all! 💗😇💗
