How to draw XENSO

Xenso and Falz are two new tangles from Loveland, Colorado, CZT® Sue Clark. This is my example of Xenso and you’ll find Falz here.

I’m posting these tangles separately on TanglePatterns – for orderly filing purposes, you understand – so today is a BOGO Special (Buy One Get One)  🙂

Sue has them together in her blog, as she explains:

“They both start out with the same first two steps, but vary enough that they don’t look anything alike when done. Also, when completed they each can have many different looks, depending on what spaces you decide to color in (if any) and how you shade them.“

Initially Xenso reminded me of CZT Mary Masi’s Insydout however that’s grid-based and Sue’s tangles are worked in columns with more curvy lines. Xenso almost has a feeling of motion to it.

Sue’s tangles start out with Organza-like parallel columns and continue with different fills. As she points out there are many possibilities to vary the look of both. I think you’ll enjoy both of these new tangles as much as I do.

Sue illustrates the step-by-step instructions for drawing Xenso here on her blog, and shows Xenso and Falz together in a lovely Zentangle®.
