How to draw FLYING GEESE

CZT® Suzanne McNeill’s tangle pattern Flying Geese is from the first book, Zentangle Basics, in her ever-growing series.

There’s something about Flying Geese I really like and maybe it’s just the fun I had coloring in the pattern. As simple as it is, it is quite dramatic in a Zentangle® because it leads the eye around the designs. Give it a go!

Suzanne illustrates the step-by-step instructions for drawing Flying Geese here (link removed). UPDATE: Early in the Summer of 2014 Suzanne McNeill’s blog domain registration expired and all the posts and images were lost. Many of her patterns on TanglePatterns can quite easily be figured out but Fox Chapel Publishing (who hold the copyright) and Suzanne have graciously given me permission to post her copyright-protected images on TanglePatterns for your convenience.
