Supplies
I recommend using the following supplies:
- two square paper tiles (I use the original Zentangle’s Renaissance tiles)
- black pen of your choice, such as Micron 01 or PN
- a colored pen of choice (burgundy, brown or alternative) – I use a Copic Multiliner 03 and 05 in wine color
- watercolor pencils in at least two colors (black for shading and a color that matches your colored pen) I use Albrecht Durer pencils by Faber-Castell, black and red-violet
- thin water brush
- white Gelly Roll 05 and 10 and a gold metallic Gelly Roll
- white charcoal pencil and a blending stump
- a small spoon or a tool with convex shape
- gold watercolor or gouache and a brush of your choice (I use Coliro’s Arabian Gold watercolor)
- a craft knife
- black brush pen (optional)
You can choose any color you like or multiple colors. If you lack any of the mentioned supplies, just use what you have and have fun.
Get inspired to create additional designs and learn to draw an adorable teddy bear, holding the heart-shaped balloon.
