One Zentangle A Day is a beautiful interactive book teaching the principles of Zentangles as well as offering fun, related drawing exercises. Zentangles are a new trend in the drawing and paper arts world. The concept was started by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas as a way to practice focus and meditation through drawing, by using repetitive lines, marks, circles, and shapes. Each mark is called a “tangle,” and you combine various tangles into patterns to create “tiles” or small square drawings. This step-by-step book is divided into 6 chapters, each with 7 daily exercises. Each exercise includes new tangles to draw in sketchbooks or on tiepolo (an Italian-made paper), teaches daily tile design, and offers tips on related art principles, and contains an inspirational “ZIA” (Zentangle Inspired Art) project on a tile that incorporates patterns, art principals, and new techniques.

I’m hooked! I’ve only had this book a few days, and already I’m hooked! I plan on using what I’m learning from this book to design my own fabric with my long arm Tin Lizzie quilting machine. Who would have thought that drawing could be so fun! This is so easy, that I had my seat mate, (a total stranger), “tangling” with me on a plane yesterday!
One Zentangle A Day I have many, many books about zentangle – this is the BEST by far! I’ve never written a review before but this book requires a big shout out, especially to folks who already have some zentangle experience and are looking for the extra things that kick it up a notch, although beginners will appreciate it just as well. It covers all the extras including shading, value, style and coloring techniques. Topics that are stretched out over several books by other authors are all together in this…
