How to draw MSST

Msst is a Zentangle®-original tangle pattern that’s simple and fun to draw — although I tend to march the dots in straight lines side by side rather than being a little random as rain would no doubt be. My eye seems to watch the line before and before I know it, bang, the next dot ends up smack beside the previous line.

You certainly can’t let your mind wander with any tangle. I find if I turn the tile upside down it’s easier for me to draw the wavy lines than if I try to do them from the top down.

Do you find it easier to draw lines in one particular direction? I have to experiment with each tangle to find the most comfortable direction that produces the best results. It’s so much fun when you get those “Ah hah” moments!
