Zentangles

I discovered 'Zentagles' the other day, and just had to have a go! It is a very stylised form of doodling, but it is very relaxing.

These are my first two attmpts. I think I need to use a softer pencil for the shading, but apart from that I'm quite pleased with the way they turned out.

It's certainly a good discipline - drawing in ink with no pencil guidlelines - very freeing!
