A zen doodle is started with a basic animal, letter, etc.
Do this with pencil and outline with pen
Erase the pencil marks
In the animal, which I chose bird, I used a pen with black ink
Zen doodles are never done in color
I started doing flowers and many shapes and patterns
I filled the entire bird with shapes and patterns until very little white was showing
On photo 6, I used a person and filled her hair in patterns
On photo 13, I did no letter or animal
You can do an entire sheet of paper with a flower design which I did on photo 13
If you want to try another type of doodle, there is the zen tangle
A zen tangle is a little similar to a zen doodle
A zen tangle uses animals of people
The object is filled with patterns, no shapes or flowers
A zentangle is drawn on a square
It is meant to make you create without thinking
It is a highly focussed process
