Zentangle for Beginners Paradox Pattern Tutorial

Hello creative friends, welcome to another week for Lady Sampson the jewelers today we are going to do some tangles so make sure you subscribe and click the bell to be notified so I am going to place some squares on my paper. I put six squares on it. Be exact, you don't have to do that, you can put just one if you choose no and we are going to make a line at the top of the box, but it will be a little off, as you see, it is not in the corner at the top of the box and I do the same on all four sides making sure to start where the line ended, so as you can see I'm starting with the ends of the line and going to the next line now as I go up.

I'm going to start in the corner and go up to the next line and you can see how this plays out so you can see how we start at the end of the line that we last created and move on to the next line, but we're out. a little bit of that line, I hope it makes sense as I slow it down here, maybe I'll zoom in so you can see a little better, you can see the

pattern

developing before your eyes, it looks like it's a square but it's rotating, which This is the

paradox

, this is why they call it a

paradox

, so I'm going to speed up a little here as you can see that you keep going around from each corner and the

pattern

that develops will be different depending on where you start your line on the box . and if you're in a square or if you're in a triangle or rectangle or whatever view to get to the end, you don't have to use the ruler, you can do it freehand and it might be easier for you.

So that pattern started in the bottom left corner, so we're going to go to the next frame and we're just going to reverse it, we're going to start at the bottom right and we're going to move towards the left and you'll see how this pattern develops by doing Same thing, start at the corner and work your way to the next side, so I'll let you see this. You can slow it down if you want at any time and just pause it. so you can take a look at what you're doing, but I'll speed it up so this video isn't so long.

I hope I don't get dizzy from turning this over as I freewheel it, but when it comes Once done, you can see that it is a mirror pattern of the first pattern and you can see how everything is upside down, so when you put this on something you can make two boxes , side by side, mirrored, which is really nice. See when it's complete, so this one I started at the bottom left and the other one I started at the bottom right, so I'm just marking the box here so you can see the next one, so in the next box we're going to split. and we're going to make two triangles and the paradox pattern works the same way, only you're working in one triangle, so you're working three sides instead of four, but it's the same way, so let's start this first triangle. in the bottom left corner and you'll see what the pattern looks like at the end of this, start at the corner and work your way up and then you'll go from left to right and then you'll go back to your beginning, start, you're only working on three sides, here it goes a little faster, same thing, you can take off the ruler and freehand the end, when you get to the end, it's a little tricky, but just watch what you're doing and you'll be able to just go from one side to the other, it's possible that you have to rotate the paper, that might help you, but other than that, it's the same, so when we start the next diagonal, here I show it to you if you want to make a similar fan look. to which when the two boxes are connected you want to start at the top right corner where I'm pointing here and you want to go down to the bottom left corner and that will be the beginning of the fan as you'll see when we start, I'm marking the top right corner so you know where I am starting and we're just going to draw from that corner down and what you'll see unfold is that beautiful.

I don't know, I guess I'll call. I'm a fan, no, I'm not sure if there's a proper term for it, but you'll see the pattern developing here, so guys, if you haven't subscribed to the channel yet, please do so and click the bell to get notified. . We're going to be doing a lot more

tutorial

s this month for next month, so you'll see how these different patterns, scribble patterns, and tangle patterns develop, so you won't want to miss them. As I do it freehand, you'll see there's a beautiful fan or it looks like a stingray, whatever you developed from that pattern by placing Zentangles in two triangles, take that square, divide it into the triangle and this is what you get starting at the bottom left with the first and the top right you will get this pattern, so in the bottom box here we will divide it in the same way in half and make the

zentangle

pattern the same as we did at the top, you will see how it comes out , you'll see the top half looks like this, okay, I was going to do it differently, but we did it the same way, so we would have the same fan, just a practice session for you to do now on the next one. square we're going to divide it into four four little squares and I'm going to take out the little ruler to make things a little easier although hopefully you'll be able to see it and the first square we're going to start at the bottom went again although I turned my paper to that you could see it better and we are going to go around like we did in the others around this box so you can see how it looks and while I go slower I will get rid of the ruler and you As I can see, in the next box I show you that we can make a fan to everyone, but I want to show you something different about how a pattern appears if we repeat the same thing we just did in the first frame of this chart. and we start in the bottom left corner, you will see a different pattern emerge and I call this pattern cannoli.

I don't know, I don't know what. I guess I'm food oriented here. I do not know what. The correct name is for it, but you see what I'm talking about, it looks like a cannoli, it's made even though I started from the top down, I was actually starting in the bottom left corner going up, I just don't do it. I know why I did it, I just decided to drag the pen towards me, sometimes it's easier than pulling it away, but you can see I'm just repeating this pattern and you'll see what the valves are at the end of this and that's what I call. a cannoli, you'll see why, or macaroni, or a CD, or some noodles, call it what you want, but you get a totally different pattern, you can see here, you don't have the fan like you have in this corner section, you have a different. design and that's the beauty of this it unravels as you create the design that you want so in the next two frames we're going to do something different so you can see what it looks like next to this cannoli we're going to make a fan in the center of this bottom box, so in this left box here, I'm going to start in the bottom right corner and I'm going to work and make our Zentangles just like we've done, slow down and remove the ruler towards the end, you can see that you can . look at the beginning of the fan, it looks like this, okay and it will be at the bottom, so now we have to reverse and we will start at the bottom left corner of the next frame to create the same fan.

We are simply going to mirror the image. By mirroring this image, you will be able to see how the starting point makes a big difference in the final pattern, so practice with us to know what patterns you want to make. I like it and you can rotate them, you can place them in different areas of any doodle that you're creating, great for your bullet journal, so if you want to put them in there, you'll see this fan up here, so both top boxes are on top of the two is our mirror image and then the bar, excuse me, they are exactly the same pattern in the same way and the bottom one is a mirror image, so you have the cannoli or the noodles or whatever and the bottom is the fan if That makes sense, put it in the comments below if you understand what I'm talking about and if you're going to try it, in this final box what we're going to do is break it up. again, so I'm going to get out my little ruler and we're going to put this in, we're going to divide it into squares on the bottom and triangles on the top so you can get an idea of ​​how you can mix patterns.

At the bottom of this we'll have two squares and at the top I'll divide them into triangles, but I'll divide them into opposite corners, so at the bottom we'll start at the bottom left. and we're going to make the same fan that we made and the square that you see next to me at the bottom, but it's going to be reversed so that the wide part of the fan is on the bottom instead of on top, so in the next frame we're just going To reflect what we just did, we're going to start at the top right, our top, what's to the left of that box, oh God, I'm confusing you, I'm sorry, but you'll see. it ends up with the fan similar to the box next to it only you'll see it's upside down it's upside down so you can see what it looks like either way the fan is similar but the box is our River so you can see what it looks like I hope you understand what I'm talking about, so before we continue, I want to ask you to subscribe to the channel and click on Bill to activate the bell to receive notifications.

As we start with these top triangles, we're going to make a fan on these. also one in each corner so we're going to mirror the top two corners together so I started at the top right of this triangle and I'll speed this up for you and on the next top triangle we'll start at the top left and continue that way and I'll speed this up so you can see what it looks like. Now, as we complete the triangles, you will see that a fan is forming on the left and right. On the right pointing towards the top corners, that fan will be on this side, so we'll start at the bottom right and finish that fan and then we'll start at the bottom left and finish this fan so it mirrors the triangle below.

So when we're done here, you'll be able to see the different variations and the top and bottom, the triangles on top of the square on the bottom and what patterns you can have.
