I'm sharing some info on how I add colour to my own Zentangle Designs,
I used a Ben Kwok blank template, of a bear and added zentangle patterns of my choosing. As always thinking about how I would add colour.
I try and add shading when I can to add depth to the coloured areas.
I have part coloured the face of the bear design.
How I add shading, is to start with the palest shade of a colour, for example, one of the bands on the bears face, I started with pale yellow.
This photo shows were I have gone over part of the pale yellow with a darker shade, almost gold yellow
Already you can see the pattern developing a rounded appearance.
In the finished project, I have added dark brown, and that gives a more 3D affect to that section.
All the patterns in this design, have been coloured the same, either using shades of brown or shades of yellow.
I start with the palest shade, add a mid shade and then the darkest shade. Always working from the edges towards the middle.
This works quite well with most of the zetangle patterns I use for my ZIA.
Hope this helps other colourists with their colouring in projects and also when colouring in the free designs I offer too -
