Zentangle Basics, Expanded Workbook Edition: A Creative Art Form Where All You Need is Paper, Pencil, & Pen (Design Originals) 25 Original Tangles, Beginner-Friendly Practice Exercises, & Techniques Paperback – Illustrated, January 1, 2014

I love this workbook! I’m having so much fun with my first explorations of Zentangles, and this book is exactly what I wanted. (For background, I’m a woman in her early 60’s who doesn’t consider herself much of an artist.)My only complaint is that the organization is a little strange - explaining how to make different patterns in different places - some with the space right there to give it a try and some with the blank “tiles” elsewhere in the book.

Book is nicely done for beginners doing the art of Zentangle. Easy to follow.

This is a nice workbook for Zentangle beginners. It includes pattern guides as well as space for practice. I found that video lessons work better for me, though. I'm sure it's a personal preference depending on what type of learner you are. As far as workbooks go, this is nice quality paper and provides good starting point for those who are new to Zentangling.

Great patterns

It’s ok. Not sure worth the money but it’s a time killer and get some ideas from it.

This is a really good book for beginners. It is very simple and it introduces you to some designs. I watch YouTube videos before I bought this book. I think you will get more out of it if you do the same. The book does not go in depth like many of the videos I have watched. I also will add that this is so much more inexpensive than taking a class from a certified (yes, they certify the instructors). The book is written by a certified instructor so you are learning the technique. It is a philosophy as well so if you want to get more into that, a class will help. But if you just like to relax and draw, this is a good place to start.

As always, this Zentangle instructional book by Suzanne McNeill is superb and easily understood. I highly recommend them for anyone that is interested in learning how to make Zentangles.

This book offers a variety of zen tangle how to. It also gives you areas to practice and offers practice in shading zen tangles.
