How to draw ZEN BUD

The lovely Zen Bud tangle pattern was created by Danni O’Brien, a graphic designer from Ann Arbor, Michigan, and this is her own drawing. “I started tangling in August, and as anyone who’s been around me knows, I’m crazy about the zentangle® process,” she writes on her blog.

Danni is joining the ranks of the CZTs later this month when she attends the certification seminar.

“Two of my sisters and niece got together and are sending me to the February CZT class to get certified. It’s one of the best and thoughtful gifts I’ve ever received and I’m so excited and thankful. I can hardly wait. My friend Jeanne, who exposed me to the process, is also going. It’s going to be a wonderful adventure!“

Danni created this pattern in “honor of the upcoming Valentine’s holiday … I love drawing flowers and including them in my tangles. One of my favorites are rose buds.”

You will find Danni’s step-by-step illustration for drawing her Zen Bud tangle pattern here, where she also gives excellent detailed tips for each step.

This is Danni’s first pattern on TanglePatterns, so check the tag dannio for more of her patterns in the future. Thanks Danni, for choosing TanglePatterns to debut your pattern!
