Full page Zentangle® drawing, Phoenix trip
I started this Zentangle® drawing on a plane on the way to Phoenix in November. When I finished a few weeks later at home, I was ambivalent. There were elements I really liked, even whole sections I really liked, but I wasn’t sure I liked it as a whole composition. Pretty darn busy.
So, I scanned it and cropped some sections in Photoshop. I started to like it better:
Once I had sections isolated, I created symmetrical images, by using the sections as a quarter of the image, flipping horizontally, then flipping both sections vertically. Here are some favorites:
The one above reminds me of the tray ceilings in ornate theaters like the Fox in Detroit, or the Ohio in Columbus.

I thought your original was quite nice, but the digital manipulations you made to it are even more amazing. Very inspiring!
with the eyelets and laces it looked like a Victorian or medieval corslet/kirtle; I wonder if you filled this up with sea shells and wrapped these designs around them what it would look like? No, I don’t have photoshop etc–I am artist–seeing what other artists can do on the computer is amazing to me and looks so much easier than acrylics and a brush
Really beautiful ! I must try this with some of my Zentangles!
