Tuesday Tile

This tile features the tangles, Zander, Nzeppel, and Huggins..........with a pencil, begin  by placing dots in each corner of your tile and connecting them to form a box.  Still with a pencil draw parallel lines about 1/2 to 3/4 inches apart diagonally on your tile 

With your black marker draw a curve, like a flattened letter "c" across from line to line. Draw another right beside the first.  Do this again about one inch down the section and then again till it is filled to the end. Round the ends so it looks like rubber bands around a snake.  Draw a line down the center from end to end.

On each side of the center line, draw slightly curved lines till it is filled up.  Shading really brings Zander to life. Draw with a pencil on either side of the "rubber bands" and blend with a blender to blur.

Build a grid pattern in another section by first drawing parallel lines about 1/2 to 3/4 inches apart.

Turn the tile and draw lines in the opposite direction. In every square now draw an "x" from corner to corner to create many triangles.  Draw around every triangle and round the corners as if squishing a balloon into a box, it won't fill the corners but leaves a rounded space.  This tangle is called Nzeppel

A way to shade this tangle simply is to place a small dot of graphite where corners come together and blend around a bit.

Fill the remaining section with Huggins by thinking of a square about 3/4 inch and drawing 4 circles  where each corner would be. Imagine now the shape of an eaten apple...the apple core.  Draw the sides
curving in and the top and bottom curving out. Building off 2 of the circles  add two more to make another "square" of circles and draw another apple core. Continue till the space is filled. It will be
necessary to imagine where circles are when the square might go behind another tangle or off the edge of the tile.

                                               

Shade Huggins by drawing with a pencil on the inside of each curve and blending
