How to draw TIE
On this last Monday of October 2016, a very safe and Happy Hallowe'en to you!
As I've observed in the past, this marks the beginning of the Sugar Season: Hallowe'en, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter. Five or six months of concentrated sugar, sugar, sugar.
And as I must remind myself, five or six months of extraordinary will-power required! 😉
Tie is a very striking and very easy tangle from Taiwan CZT Mei Hua Teng, or Damy as she likes to be called.
Damy tells me she has been busy lately with her patchwork quilting so Tie is her first tangle in a while. And its quilting influence is evident!
Tie looks very cool without any shading whatsoever though I've added a touch in my example above. In the "unvarnished" version here on the right, the square and diamond shapes pop off the page and keep the eye moving around. Its optical effect is similar to the one in CZT Katie Crommett's Daviso, an example of the figure/ground perceptual phenomenon.
After a few attempts at Tie, I found that if I broke up Damy's Step 1 into first a series of parallel evenly spaced dash strokes, then turned my tile and added the stroke to complete the cross shape, I had much better control of the overall effect. This works too if you want to use Tie in curved spaces as Damy has done in both of her examples below.
Damy illustrates the step-by-step instructions for drawing Tie below. Damy features it in a Zentangle® tile as a pretty variation with auras, together with a bit of CZT Tricia Faraone's Sanibelle and the Zentangle-originals Flux and Sez. Damy's deft shading on the "lozenge" shapes gives an embossed texture to the tile.

In this Zentangle example of Tie, Damy shows how lovely it looks as a minimalist monotangle.
As you enjoy any of the tangles on the site, please do leave a comment of thanks and encouragement to show the artists you appreciate them for sharing their creativity to inspire yours.
