Pretty Terrible

Pop Culture Criticism by Natalie Luhrs

December 15, 2014

Mess of the Day

zentangle 2014-12-02-smallWell, actually of last week, but whatever. Tried out a bunch of new tangles, not sure what I think of the execution on any of them. My shading also needs some work (using a less-soft pencil will help; a 5B is just Too Soft).  I do like the combination of spiky and more rounded shapes as well as the mix of dense and less dense patterning.

Onwards. We are all works in progress, are we not?

    Works in progress – I like thinking of us that way. And my hat’s off to you for sharing your work in progress here – it’s encouraging to see someone learning something in public, when too often all that’s shown is the polished final product.
