The art of Zentangle to relax a little bit!

Petropolis, Brazil
July 20, 2017 2:30pm CST
I had to stop for a while and draw something to relax from translating a very difficult document. This drawing is a quick one. I love zentangling because it lets your mind just go over the white paper and draw patterns which will connect later with other patterns and voilĂ , drawing done! I am not an expert on that. I just do because I like it and I know there are artists that can create many others so much more beautiful. (I will practice more, who knows..., for now, for my relaxation, this will do the job!)

I think it is better to relax in drawings. Unfortunately, I am not good at it.

I've never heard the term. I've understood what is meant by it but what is its meaning?

@manandezo I've understood that. I want to know what the *word* means.

It is a method of creating images with repetitive patterns to relax and stimulate creativity.

@MALUSE Tangle = to become or form, or to make something into, an untidy mass; Zen = relaxed and not worrying about things that you cannot change; Zentangle = just mix both meanings.
