How to draw BRONX CHEER and BRONX SPEARS

This tangle pattern arose when Zentangle originator Maria Thomas wanted to “make revisions” to a drawing.

For those who might not be not familiar with the term “Bronx Cheer”, it’s also known as The Raspberry — and here’s the Wikipedia explanation complete with video.

Maria illustrates how to draw her Bronx Cheer tangle here.

UPDATE December 8, 2018 – Project Pack #04. As part of the Twelve Days of Zentangle, 2018 Edition series, in this Day 6 video starting at (11:03) Maria’s daughters Molly and Martha demonstrate how to tangle an unusual form of Bronx Cheer as a border or ribbon style tangle.

And no, it is not “Bronx Cherry” as CZT Beckah Krahula published in her book. Serious editorial fail there.

UPDATE December 11, 2020 – Project Pack #12. As part of the 12 Days of Zentangle, 2020 Zentangle Renaissance project pack, in the Day 1 video Maria tangles her new variation of Bronx Cheer she’s called Bronx Spears.
