How to draw FF (Frozen Falling)

Hi everyone! Thanks for stopping by and welcome to another week of fun tangle creativity …

Today’s sweet and SUPER easy tangle is called FF (Frozen Falling) and it’s from Hong Kong CZT Cat Kwan.

Cat is a member of CZT-Asia #1, the very first CZT class given outside of the USA wa-a-ay back in 2016. FF is her fourth tangle on the site.

FF reminds me of calligraphy artist Joanne Fink’s Zenspirations® dangle designs and it’s ripe for all kinds of creative explorations. Simple and elegant, FF is a perfect Monday tangle.

Cat writes,

The idea of this tangle is come from a TV game, these are the Disney’s Frozen story in one of the episodes. I saw this beautiful scene in the game, and found ‘FF’ inside.

FF is the slang of Cantonese, it means “fantasy” (also come from the famous game “Final Fantasy”).

When I play this game and find the tangle, I feel this fantasy world is amazing!!!!

This one is SO much fun to do and I was just itching to get out my Sakura glitter pens. I always remember Rick saying that he finds it most comfortable to pull lines towards him, like from top to bottom as in Step 1. For me, my wrist and thumb seem to only manage those longer strokes horizontally so for instance for Step 1 I turn my tile and add the strokes from left to right. To each his own comfort level. 🙂

Cat illustrates the step-by-step instructions for drawing FF below and she notes, “I drew ‘FF’ with sparkle Printemps for the sample, it is a lovely tangle!”

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.
