Hathi and other animals

A while ago I discovered the templates of Ben Kwok he publishes weekly in the Ornation Creation Facebook group.  Facebook Ornation Creation.  The published templates are lovely to zentangle.    You can also find a photo gallery with results of other tanglers there. Mostly it are templates about animals, and I selected a few of them to create some nice tiles for my children.

The Elephant (#048) for my oldest daughter, who's scouting name is Hathi.

A horse (#022) for my youngest daughter, she still is in her horse-period...  It was an experiment with colour  pencils, but I prefer black & white overall.

And also a rabbit (#003)for her, because she received a real rabbit to nurse for last month.  She gave him the name Nestor.

The squirell (#006) I liked very much, so I made that one for myself

And at last the Dachshund (#170).  Not an easy one this, I had to try it two times before I could publish the result.  The first dog was really ugly, but this one I'm pleased with.

 

And you can see, my shading has improved !

Challenges Square One July 2016

The challenges of this summer month:

week 1: Brrst
A new pattern, and I saw some faces in it.

week 2: Cornerz
That's also a new one for me.  A very nice pattern to experiment with, I'll surely use this again.

week 3: B-Dylan
I did participate to this challenge, but as I used colour in it, I could not publish it in the Square One facebook group.  Instead, it was in fact a tile for the Diva Challenge.  But I'll give it here anyway.

And then I made another one with B-dylan.

week 4: Echoism
A pattern I already know for a long time, so always nice to use it again and try something different.  

Here with Antidots.
