How to Draw Zentangle
Draw a Center Spine: Lightly pencil a long, gentle central guideline down your page to act as the core stem for your braid.
Add Alternating Leaf Strands: Using a fine-liner pen, draw curved, teardrop-shaped leaf loops slanting upward from the central line, alternating left and right so their bases overlap neatly like a classic braid.
Infill with Line Tangles and Shading: Trace delicate vein lines inside each leaf strand, then use a graphite pencil to shade the overlapping bases and edges to give the woven texture rich, three-dimensional depth.
