My Third "Zentangle Together"

Yesterday I finally shaded the drawings from last Sunday meeting and so, it is time for the post about the third Zentangle Together!

I was expecting an experienced tangler but she did not show up. The bad part is that I prepared a little less about drawing beginner tangles, and had to improvise. I thought that with an experienced tangler around we would have alternated proposing ideas and things that could fit in our tangles.

But you know, you can plan as much as you want, but life is what happens between, despite, inside and outside of your plans.

There was the girl that attended the second meeting and an old friend of mine.
The girl had a whole A4 started the last time, so the plan with her was to fill that page. We went for Bales, and then filled it in several different ways. I also had a rounded Bales and when my friend arrived, we started with a more regular and straight one. The most of the page was filled and I added some leaves.

I brought my pattern sketchbook around to draw a bit in the beginning while waiting for somebody to join, and so I showed it to let the others choose some patterns. Maybe my friend was not so happy with the many flowers we had around. He drew his things, often taking inspiration from some of my tiles in the pattern sketchbook. But it is fine like this as well! I mean, everybody can draw exactly what they want, I like to be there to give ideas if somebody with less experience needs them.

I also did Icanthis, that is all but easy for a beginner.

We also have Lenche, one of my favourite patterns! And I think everybody liked it!

We stayed in the café for a while and also managed to start another drawing. My friend wanted something spiky and so I added dorn. He drew it differently, but it fit well in his page! And I think the idea was there. Then, alas, the call of flowers was as usual strong.

I then went to have dinner with my friend. The good part of having friends joining!

And later I finished the third tangle. A very light one.

And I finally shaded/colored everything yesterday... or today? It was probably after midnight, I watched Franz K in the cinema yesterday. A weird movie, but some scenes were filmed in Grand Café Orient, my favourite café on planet Earth!

Here I used some gelly rolls, but I will probably add something at a later point. Maybe pencils.

I am looking forward to see what will happen next Sunday at the fourth Zentangle Together!
