This was a fun exercise. It becomes a very mindful activity. I don’t spend a lot of time drawing so it was fun to just make marks.
I also spend some time checking out the Zentangle drawing patterns that are available on line. There are so many patterns you could choose. It would be interesting to do regional study of patterns. I grew up with a Ukrainian grandmother and we painted psanky eggs when I was a child. I learned the symbolism of the patterns. I imagine some symbols are universal, and others are very region specific in the world.

What’s in your Head?
I did a blind contour drawing for practice. have to give myself more time. I seem to rush through so many things. It has to do with anxiety. I hope to learn to slow down and enjoy the process.
I had fun with this. I realize that I am very impatient and need to give myself more time. I was so into the process, that i did not stop to take a photo of my blind contour drawing before I started filling in the patterns.
