How to draw LILY-EYES

A very Happy New Year to you! And welcome to an exciting 2017 full of Zentangle® fun and creative inspiration!

In many countries today is observed as a holiday and indeed here in the USA it’s a federal holiday too. But I figured, holiday or not, many of us would be ready for some new tangles to play with and today is as good a day to start anew as any!

Lily-eyes is a fun one from tangler Livia Chua who has several great tangles on the site. Lily-eyes is easy for the new tanglers joining us this time of year as well as the seasoned ones who’ve been around for a while. It’s a good one to experiment with and for adding whimsy to your Zentangles.

Lily-eyes is a good tangle for reminding us to take our time with each deliberate stroke to arrive at a pleasing composition of curving lines and embellished orbs. A simple tangle, yet at the same time an absorbing one to tangle.

On flickr, look for this arrow in the lower right corner of your screen to download the steps.

Livia illustrates the step-by-step instructions for drawing Lily-eyes here under her flickr name, skinnystraycat. As Livia says, “Lily-eyes are very curious” and she suggests tangling them “looking” in different directions.

As you enjoy any of the tangles on the site, please do leave a comment of thanks and encouragement to show the artists you appreciate them for sharing their creativity to inspire yours.
