Practice these patterns in your sketchbook until they feel familiar to you, then create a Zentangle tile using the new patterns and any previously learned patterns. Remember to follow the eleven-step process when creating your tile.

The white-toned highlights keep the eye moving throughout this piece.

Creating ZIAs on Bold Colors

Today we are going to explore working on bold-colored paper with an achromatic color scale and using colored pencils for highlights and shadows. The highlight requires a pencil in a high-key shade of the paper, while the shadows require a pencil in the low-key shade of the paper. On bold hues, graduated shading in the highlights is important for the composition’s balance and harmony. When you are working with bold-colored papers, you will find they affect the tones of the patterns just as when we went from white to black paper. Yellow can cause problems because it does not let the highlights stand out. Green and red make it more difficult to achieve harmony between the tonal values of your drawing and the tonal value of the paper. Working on dark blue is similar to working on black tiles and may require a white pen or a pen with a high-key colored ink in the hue of the paper. Start by going through your previously created Zentangle tiles. Look for tiles that contrast with one another. Choose a tile with open, airy graphics and one with busy graphics. Choose a tile that has the majority of the tone values in the high-key area and one with a majority of dark tone values. Photocopy the tiles on a piece of red, yellow, blue, green, orange, and purple paper. Cut out the tiles and use your white and graphite pencil to give the tiles highlights and shadows and then use colored pencils on another copy. As you experiment with creating ZIA on the colored tiles, keep notes on what you learn in your sketchbook for later use.
