Can you believe we are already on Project Pack No. 25? It was released in early December 2024 and focuses on the "drawing behind" technique. This technique, often referred to as “Hollibaugh” is a fundamental aspect of the Zentangle Method that enhances depth and dimension in artwork. This project pack is part of the annual "12 Days of Zentangle" series, where each day introduces a new lesson centered around this technique.

Inktober 2022 Review
For several years I have been participating in the Inktoker artist challenge. Inktober originated as an “all” art challenge and in 2015 Stephanie Jennifer adapted it for our beloved Zentangle practice.
Following along with prompts throughout the month helps me maintain my drawing skills and facilitates my daily practice. I like to follow the prompts supplied in the handout from 7F5R.com because I don’t need to think about what tangle to draw next. That decision has been made for all who participate.
Project Pack 14 Review
This wonderful project pack was released in May 2021, during Mental Health Awareness month in the US. The Zentangle Headquarters team brought us a spirited series of classes developing the artist we often hide within ourselves. They were able to highlight a greater awareness of our own mental health and how our art contributes to positive feelings, reduction of stress, and a general increase in confidence. I personally have experienced these amazing outcomes.
