The pattern for this week's challenge is generic enough to allow all kinds of variations. So I started doodling with it, and suddenly spotted a "calligraphy marker" on my table.
Yes, I was surprised exactly as you are. Turns out my daughter got it as a present from one of her teachers who saw how much she likes to draw. And my daughter left it on my table.
Did you know that some of the most amazing inventions started by accident? Like the towel, or the 3M sticky notes ...
For some time now I wanted to experiment with varying line widths. So this was the perfect opportunity and the result is the first drawing (which I like a lot)
I was inside the flow, so I continued with a more "traditional" variation of this week's pattern, and a second drawing was created
three very nice tangles - I am particularly drawn to the first one - love the different thicknesses of lines - so artistic
ReplyDeleteThese are great. And I love the third "demo" piece. May you and your daughter have many happy hours drawing together (and show her how the calligraphy pen changes actual writing - that's fun too)
ReplyDeleteStunning!
ReplyDeleteNothing like having fun teaching something you enjoy to your daughter. Looking forward to seeing one of her tiles posted here soon! I got a brush micron pen recently but haven't played with it yet. Challenge accepted.
ReplyDeleteWow. You were a very busy tangler this week with spectacular results.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great thing, tangling with your daughter! Your tiles are beautiful, the first one is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteThere's a 1950's look to these, don't know why. I like all three and I think your experiments with line width are rather exciting.
ReplyDeleteI like the last one.Comme des alumettes posées sur un dessin. Il ne manque plus que le feu.
ReplyDeleteSaw your tiles on Flickr. I can't comment there (no Flickr account) so will say here - beautiful! I love the variation you did, and the first drawing - amazing.
DeleteI agree with Christine C, the last one is my favourit, the first one is so different from what I've seen so far. Great exploring and wonderful, inspiring results.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Tiles, Omer. All three of your Tiles are my favorites. A coin toss is required if forced to pick just one. A wonderful display of your awesome creativity and talent. An interested, talented daughter is such a blessing. Continued success to you both.
ReplyDeleteLovely drawings, Omer! And very nice to read that your daughther was drawing with you.
ReplyDeletewonderful drawings - I like the variation of thickness too
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to play with a calligraphy pen. Wonderful drawings. How nice to share with your daughter too. Good memories are being made :)
ReplyDeleteAll three are unique and done well. I like the perspective you put in the center of the second one. The flow in your last one is very appealing.
ReplyDeleteThat first one is like something you would see on the cover of the New Yorker mag. Wonderful work with the thicks and thins! Yes, that's my fave, but your other work is great too. Nice to have time with your daughter, yes? We have one of those too, and her father has taught her to draw, they have an amazing time together now with Zentangle too!
ReplyDeleteI agree. They are great and also remind me of prints from the 50's. I really like that you collaborated with your daughter, and with gorgeous results
ReplyDeleteThree beautiful tiles. Very creative:)
ReplyDeleteIf you put all three of these tiles together, you get a portrait: The city, the door to your home, and finally, the lovely garden you have in the center of your dwelling.
ReplyDeleteI like the middle one a lot, how you've explored the pattern and brought so many interesting shapes and lines to it. Nice job!
Omar - these are amazing!! They are so very different from any of the other tiles I have viewed. One looks like a city and another a model - very cool!!
