Betweed

Official Zentangle®

I decided to include Betweed in the book because my students often ask me about it. People either understand this tangle or they don’t. Once you get it, it’s fantastic to adapt and play with.

Step 1: Create your pencil border on your Zentangle tile.

Step 2: Create an L-shaped line on your tile.

Step 3: From a short way up the vertical axis, draw a line to the end of the horizontal line. I put a slight curve in mine, but a straight line is fine, too.

Step 4: On the line you just drew, start a short way in from the vertical axis and draw a straight line to the top of the axis line. You can curve it if you wish.

Step 5: Repeat steps 3 and 4. Remember to start just up the last line you drew; each new line starts from the line just drawn, and they should all converge at the end of an axis point.

Step 6: Continue as desired or until the lines look like they’ll flatten out.
