I’ve decided to do Inktober this month. 😀  Find out more about Inktober, here. Basically it’s a month long encouragement to draw every day.

Today I decided to incorporate both the official prompt list and the zentangle prompt list.

Today was Divided and the tangle Dicso.  Dicso is a rather neat little tangle… it incorporates the 5 elements of zentangle; dot, line, curve, s-shape, o-shape… hence the name D(dot)-I-C-S-O.  Also the tangle does all these elements in one continuous line, it was really neat to play with. 😀

Closeup…

At first when I was thinking about what to do for Divided, I thought of a mirror image.  Then I thought of making it look like a torn sheet of paper to separate the page.  But when I was researching how to draw a torn sheet of paper I came across images of cracks, and then I knew that is what I wanted to draw.  I watched some of this video to help me get an idea of how to draw a crack.  After watching the video, I drew a chasm with the Dicso tangle on one side and a few Dicso tangle pieces on the other to Divide them…

Tools Used:

• Sakura Pigma Micron Pen (01, 08)
• Tombow Fudenosuke Brush Pen
• Copic Markers .Too (cool gray)

Mug drawing…

For my husband’s morning tea, I practiced Dicso for the first time…

Until next time…
