How to draw FOOTLITES

Zentangle pattern: Footlites. Image © Linda Farmer and TanglePatterns.com. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. You may use this image for your personal non-commercial reference only. The unauthorized pinning, reproduction or distribution of this copyrighted work is illegal.CZT® Carole Ohl’s blog is one of my personal favorites and Footlites is her recent new tangle pattern.

I really enjoy Carole’s philosophy, her style of tangling and her creative tangling tips that I always find really helpful. This one on “making bridges” is a good example.

Check out what tanglers are doing with Carole’s cool Tangle-A-Day calendar for daily Zentangle® exercises here.

Here in my example of Footlites, I drew back-to-back versions and added a bit of shading to it. I know, adding shading to “footlites” seems kinda illogical 😉

Carole illustrates the step-by-step instructions for drawing Footlites here.

Check out the tag caroleo for more of Carole’s patterns on TanglePatterns.com.

    Hi Linda and everyone,
    As asked, I’m stopping by and saying HI ! :-))
    I am so addicted to this wonderful relaxation of tangling, calms my mind magnificently! I have been gradually working through an “exercise” using tangles to decorate around each letter of our Alphabet and so far I am up to Q. As well, I usually make time to work each day using a particular tangle, finding out if I can modify a particular design or not…….this is enlightening,(!) as sometimes my ‘variations’ are great and sometimes very UN-great ! I am only a newbie (since the end of last year, but I’m tumbling through tangling with great delight!
    By the way, does anyone know of any CZT ‘s in Queensland
    Australia ??
    cheers,
    Sue

    Hi. I love the footlites pattern. It’s easy and fun to do. I used it to make ‘bird feathers.’ Thanks for sharing!

  • Tracy

    I’ve used this too. Nice alternative to just “lines-in-the background”, with it’s special effect.

    Thank you for building and managing this site! I am just getting started and appreciate all the wonderful resources.
    I am, however, not seeing most of the “How To” images. Some do come up but many others are blank where the actual instructions should be.
    Any ideas on why this is happening?

    Thanks,
    mmj
