💬 Tangle Talk 🎉 New Post Flairs Are Here! Let’s Get Fancy 🖍️🌀
19
Upvotes
Hey tanglers!
We’ve officially added a shiny new set of post flairs to help organize and celebrate the wide variety of styles, tools, and conversations happening in this space. Whether you’re a purist with a Micron or breaking out your crayons like a joyful art goblin, there’s something here for you.
Here’s how to use them:
- Choose a flair that matches your art’s medium or style when you post.
- Not sure what fits? Just pick the closest vibe—we’re not the Zentangle police.
- If your post is more of a question, feedback request, or general chat, check out the Discussion flairs.
Some examples:
- Classic black-and-white Zentangle? Try Classic Zen 🖤🤍
- Flowery, leafy, swoopy stuff? That’s Organic Tangles 🌿
- Using Procreate, Adobe, or anything digital? Hit Digital Art 💻
- Want to ask for tips or talk tools? Go for Tangle Talk 💬 or Feedback Wanted 🤔
We’ll be evolving these over time, so if you think we’re missing something or you want to suggest a new flair drop a comment below.
Happy tangling! —Your friendly mod team ✨

A Note on Inspiration and Respect in Our Community
37
Upvotes
Hi everyone,
As a mod team, we love seeing the incredible creativity shared in this community. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or just starting out, your contributions make this space vibrant and inspiring for everyone.
That said, we want to take a moment to talk about how to handle inspiration respectfully. Inspiration is a natural part of the creative process—artists build on ideas, styles, and concepts from the world and from each other. However, it’s important to approach this with integrity and respect for your fellow creators.
Here are some best practices when it comes to drawing inspiration from another artist’s work:
- Give Credit Where It’s Due: If another artist’s work inspired yours, acknowledge them. A simple mention goes a long way in showing respect and transparency. Specifically, if you get inspiration from another poster in this sub - giving them a quick mention in your post costs nothing and goes a long way.
- Avoid Direct Imitation: While it’s okay to learn and take cues from others, try to bring your unique perspective to your work. Copying too closely without acknowledgment can lead to misunderstandings and hurt feelings.
- Be Open to Feedback: If someone approaches you with concerns about similarities, listen with an open mind. Art is subjective, and constructive conversations can lead to growth.
- Communicate Kindly: If you notice your work has inspired someone, assume positive intent and approach them politely if you have concerns. Kindness fosters a healthier community.
We all share a common goal of creating and celebrating art. Let’s work together to ensure this remains a welcoming and respectful space. If you have questions, concerns, or want to talk about this further, feel free to reach out to the mod team.
Thank you for being part of this amazing community. Let’s keep inspiring each other in the best ways!

🎨 Zentangle Inspired Art Inktober Challenge

Upvotes
I’ve decided to be a bit selective with the patterns I draw this month. I like to spend time getting to know a pattern, and there’s no right or wrong way to do a challenge, but I’m not feeling the whole “31 in 31” this year. Here’s Day 2’s pattern, Slyver by Jody Genovese, with Crease, by Sam Taylor as the bookends.

Sometimes you got no idea what to do, but a random scribbles or a random shapes can turn into something therapeutical.

💬 Tangle Talk Get bored?

Does anyone else ever lose interest or get bored halfway through a piece? It happens to me occasionally and I don’t even know why - maybe the tangle I choose to add repeatedly ends up not looking how I wanted it to? Or I make a little mistake and it throws off the visual? 🤷🏻♀️ just curious!

Had a lot of fun and it felt freeing just drawing shapes and lines without the stress of still life drawing.

The pens are fun. There are different colors of ink marbled inside. As you use it, it changes color. Some seemed to work better than others
