The basics of line artwork tutorial 

I am using your how-to, to loosen up when i get short on creativity. It is a great process and has wonderful results. I also ZenTangle, and would like to enlighten you on what it is. The Zen part is just what you do. Relax and just let it flow. It is a mindless time suspending activity that lets out the hidden creative artist that hides in everyone. The tangle part is to add anything that could mean anything. A 'tangle' of different doodle designs. Or a repetitive pattern of short lines straight or flowing that makes a whole picture. There are hundreds of straight lined patterns that are not at all 'flowery'. I have incorporated your flowing lines into a couple of my favorites. Thank you !!!

Thank you so much for a tutorial that is actually a tutorial with a talk through and not just a video with music and in fast speed. This is great! Can't wait to listen the whole video and all of your others.

I think you are a better teacher than you realize!! You have brought up points that never occurred to me!!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on starting line art

Back years ago, when I did it...... I called it echo art. The echoes of the lines.

This was very well done. Articulate and well paced. Good job- i like this style so much. It reminds me of like, Ether /smoke/liquid smooth..i dont know. I just like it 😊

Zentangle is a specific way of mark making, their ethos being “anything is possible, one line at a time”. Only four basic lines or marks are used, with variations of each: a straight line, a c shape (which can be mirrored to form an s shape or wave), a circle (which can be an oval), and a dot. These marks form a number of registered tangles or patterns which can be combined into Zentangle inspired art or ZIA. The patterns are usually done on a 3” x 3” square of heavy paper similar to watercolour paper, called a tile. There is (or shouldn’t be) no randomness. Every mark should be one of the 4 mentioned and done with forethought, in a slow, relaxed manner. Too many people call what they do Zentangle when it is line drawing or even doodling. Very different

Awesome instruction! Thank you!

Really interesting. I wonder if you can use acrylic gouache and layer it in dimensional lie artwork… hmm…

I teared up watching this video😭 its verrrryyy helpful i love it and its so encouraging watching this! I have always enjoyed abstract art lines , waves kinda flowy patterns but i never knew what its called and if its a thing! i have been finding abstract line art artists and thought what they do exactly is the right thing because when i show my family/ friends what i draw the first question ALWAYS what is this haha what are you trying to tell what is the title bla bla , most of the time i go with the flow of my feelings and my hand and when in done sometimes i see a shape and i like it sometimes no but i still love it! i wanna know do we need to have a story to the drawing, having my artwork in an art gallery have been a dream and i really dont know if what i do would be liked in an art gallery 😅

Line art. This guy seems not to know that the subject has a history that began about 500 years ago. It was called engraving. He should start from there.

This video came up in my YT feed at just the right time. It was very helpful to me. All of it🥰 it just made so much sense to me. While i do enjoy making some zentangle I really enjoy just line art and Line and Wash. Thanks for sharing! While not having ADHD I can be somewhat OCD about my art😂 Susan in Az❤️🏜️
