Disclaimer: I certainly don’t claim Arrowheads as my original pattern. It’s one that’s probably been around as long as humankind has made patterns on pottery and fabric. Or in the sand for that matter. But it’s a striking and useful tangle pattern to have in your collection so I decided to post my own way of drawing it and giving it the honor of a Zentangle® name.
Arrowheads starts, as many tangle patterns do, by drawing a grid with diagonals. In Step 4 below you’ll notice dots in the places where the solid fills go. This is how I keep myself from messing up the final step of filling in the Arrowheads. Thought I’d show that in case you’re concentration-challenged as I can sometimes be. If my mind wanders while I’m filling in the shapes, at least I can see where the fills should go. One way to vary Arrowheads is to use different fills in the solid areas.
Hope you enjoy tangling with Arrowheads …
