How to draw HUMPZY

Humpzy is a very pretty tangle from Canadian tangler Judy Murphy and it’s her tenth on the site. They’re all “faves” of mine but the whimsical Jumu is probably tops at the moment.

Based on an ogee-grid, Humpzy is decorated simply with tiny orbs surrounded by an aura. For my example I repeated the tiny orbs up the center of the ogee shapes and added just the tiniest bit of shading along the grid lines.

If you’d like some assistance drawing this type of grid, check out the tutorial “How to draw three types of grids for your Zentangles“, which includes a free downloadable PDF. You can always locate this tutorial by visiting the TUTORIALS tab on the pink alphabetic tangle menu bar.

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

Judy illustrates the step-by-step instructions for drawing Humpzy here on flickr and shows us several ways to embellish her tangle.

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.
