How to draw JETTIES

The tangle Jetties looks like the old fashioned red-white-and-blue rubber balls we used to play with as kids. Do they still exist?

Anyway, here we go with circles and I am challenged with those darned things. I think I need to slow down my strokes.

Jetties is a Zentangle®-original tangle pattern and Sandy Bartholomew illustrates how to draw it here.

5. "A Zentangle has no up or down and is not a picture of something, so you have no worries about whether you can draw a hand, or a duck. You always succeed in creating a Zentangle." Thus patterns that are drawings of a recognizable naturalistic or actual object, figure, or scene, are not tangles. A pattern is not always a tangle — here's what makes a tangle. TIP: tangles never start with pencil planning.
