Whether you’re brand new to Zentangle® or a longtime tangler, welcome. I’m delighted you’re here.

TanglePatterns.com is a free resource dedicated to exploring, learning, and sharing Zentangle tangles. Since 2010, it has grown into one of the largest collections of tangles, tutorials, and creative resources for the Zentangle community.

Think you can’t draw? You’re not alone. Many people discover Zentangle because they’re looking for a creative activity that doesn’t require artistic training or drawing skills.

If you can make five simple elemental strokes — a dot, a line, a C-curve, an S-curve, and an orb — you already have everything you need to begin. The Zentangle Method™ breaks drawing into simple, easy-to-follow steps that anyone can learn, and Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas offer free video lessons to help you get started.

“Absolutely the best Zentangle Book yet! As an accomplished artist I used to think I did not need instruction on this art form. How wrong I was! My tangling improved by leaps and bounds after reading this book.

If you think you have Zentangle down then you need this book more than ever!” ~ Kris H
