The beauty of Tiramissoo, especially in regard to shading, is that there are so many shading options in addition to or instead of using pen to create blocks of black. I’ve demonstrated two options here, but the possibilities are truly endless.
The first example is subtle; the shading is light between the thin “tramlines” that separate the zigzags. It’s not obvious, but that light shading really distinguishes the zigzags of Tiramissoo from each other.
The second example is more obvious. Instead of blackening around the circles in the zigzag, I shaded. This changes the look of Tiramissoo entirely. It’s up to you which style you prefer—or you can come up with something entirely new.
Tiramissoo has so many shading options. Here is your space to try a few out and see what you like best.
