How to draw INAURA

Perhaps a cousin of Tucked In or even a distant relative of Palrevo, Inaura is a fun new tangle from Canadian CZT Bunny Wright.

“Always having Zentangle® swirling around in my head, I got to thinking about ‘auras‘. I love drawing auras as well as circles and squares so, I came up with this pattern. I’m calling it ‘Inaura’. It’s a very versatile pattern, I think, because it can be used anywhere, as a filler, a border or fine on its own. I dedicate it to my husband’s Aunt Barb …. Fifty years ago May 1st, she introduced me to her good-looking nephew!! It was ‘love at first sight!’ Need I say more??“

Bunny has previously shared another pattern that makes use of auras, her lovely Heartrope tangle pattern. Inaura is indeed very versatile, you can make a completely random pattern or create a more “organized” one depending on what you’re aiming for. And varying fills and shading also changes up this tangle.

Bunny demonstrates the step-by-step instructions for drawing Inaura below and shows it a couple of ways in a completed Zentangle®.

6. "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.
