Zentangle Basics, Expanded Workbook Edition: A Creative Art Form Where All You Need is Paper, Pencil, & Pen (Design Originals) 25 Original Tangles, Beginner-Friendly Practice Exercises, & Techniques

Book is nicely done for beginners doing the art of Zentangle. Easy to follow.

Great patterns

This is a nice workbook for Zentangle beginners. It includes pattern guides as well as space for practice. I found that video lessons work better for me, though. I'm sure it's a personal preference depending on what type of learner you are. As far as workbooks go, this is nice quality paper and provides good starting point for those who are new to Zentangling.

I love this workbook! I’m having so much fun with my first explorations of Zentangles, and this book is exactly what I wanted. (For background, I’m a woman in her early 60’s who doesn’t consider herself much of an artist.)My only complaint is that the organization is a little strange - explaining how to make different patterns in different places - some with the space right there to give it a try and some with the blank “tiles” elsewhere in the book.

It’s ok. Not sure worth the money but it’s a time killer and get some ideas from it.

This is a really good book for beginners. It is very simple and it introduces you to some designs. I watch YouTube videos before I bought this book. I think you will get more out of it if you do the same. The book does not go in depth like many of the videos I have watched. I also will add that this is so much more inexpensive than taking a class from a certified (yes, they certify the instructors). The book is written by a certified instructor so you are learning the technique. It is a philosophy as well so if you want to get more into that, a class will help. But if you just like to relax and draw, this is a good place to start.

This book offers a variety of zen tangle how to. It also gives you areas to practice and offers practice in shading zen tangles.

I bought this introductory zentangle book for my 12 year old grandson, as as well as for my nine year old granddaughter. Both love drawing and I guessed right that they would love drawing zentangle patterns. This book gives step by step instructions on how to draw patterns and encouragement to practice them as "there is no such thing as mistakes in zentangle". Definitely buy this book, no matter your age, if you're new to the meditative, relaxing art of zentangle.
