In Zentangle Web Resources – Part 1, I revealed what I consider to be the 5 best Zentangle Web Resources. In Zentangle Web Resources – Part 2, I am highlighting 7 additional noteworthy resources that you can bookmark for further reference. I’ve included images of several of my Zentangle tiles just for fun!
And there’s more!
Video’s
Check out Ellen Wolters videos on how to draw Zentangle patterns. Are you having a difficult time with a pattern, you could even ask Ellen to show you how to create it. https://www.youtube.com/user/DIWEllenWolters

Doodles From The Heart I really like Lori Byerly’s Zentangle Style! You can see how she tangles on Flickr at this URL: Certainly, check out her freebie downloads section which includes her ‘tangle pattern gallery’ and Zendala templates. Lori has cataloged the tangles she uses by name and also lists the creator’s name! Yay Lori! Way to go. Once you know the pattern name, you can then refer to tanglepatterns.com for the step-out. This is a very nice collection of tangles! Lori has also created nine great tangle patterns, so be sure to see her original tangles in her ‘my tangles‘ section complete with clearly detailed step-outs.
Another Zentangle Web Resource is at https://www.scribd.com/doc/289379127/LETTERsizeALLpatterns-pdf. There, there’s a download of tons of Zentangle Patterns you can print (without step-outs or tangle names). This PDF file is a whopping 78 megabytes worth of patterns that will print on standard letter-sized paper. The file is 35 printed pages long. Now that will give you some ideas!
Groups
https://www.flickr.com/groups/zentangle/ I joined this Flickr group and enjoy access to over 33,000 images. I learn a lot by closely looking at the artwork of others. You can too.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/171809746345318/ Amazing artist Ben Kwok’s FB Group – many of Ben’s templates are here in the Files menu. You need to join to have access. Just fill the templates with your tangles to create impressive works of art. Be sure to thank Ben for all his hard work!
https://www.facebook.com/groups/RandomActsOfZentangle/ Give your art away! Yep, join this group and learn about gifting your art to total strangers! You will feel amazing and excited when you give it away. Part of the fun is ‘hiding’ your art in plain sight, generally in public places.
