The Eleven-Step Zentangle Process Relax Breathe Admire the paper and tools. Appreciate this opportunity. Draw the border. Draw the string. With the pen, draw the tangles. With the pencil, shade the tangles. With the pen, initial the front, and sign, date, and comment on the back. Reflect and appreciate. Admire up close and at arm's length.
