How to draw SAILS

After a couple of ribbon or border-type tangles, it’s time for a grid-based one. Sails is from Aussie tangler Helen Williams who has shared several lovely and popular tangles with us.

Sails is a tangleation of the Zentangle®-original tangle Chillon.

Helen has extracted practically every possible way to embellish Chillon in her lovely Sails version in her original post here on her blog, where you can find the downloadable steps and multiple variations.

And recently Helen added this video demonstration of the basic Sails as well.

Helen’s video is also posted here on her blog.

Helen’s Zentangle-inspired examples are quite a bit larger than you would find for the Zentangle Method, but they usually scale down well for a Zentangle tile.
