I really like doing these. Not sure if I'm exactly getting into the mediation mode that the author is hoping I'd attain, but I do consider what designs I want to use where. Ms. Krahula is good at trying to explain some of the drawing concepts such as shading, light placement, depth etc. There's also the use of words such as tanglenhancer, tangleation that I find bothersome but may in fact be normal words within the tangle community. The book is filled with step by step drawings for the patterns you're to learn. In the later lessons she starts to show you other ways to do tangles by adding color and how to apply tangles in other areas of art, jewelry, fabric, ornaments etc. There's also various art work from other artists that are beautiful to look at and can help you get ideas for your own work. Overall, I think this is a pretty good introduction to zentangles. It doesn't overwhelm you with material to learn. She does have a list of supplies, which I took as more of a suggestion. I didn't want to spend the money for special tiles, pens, markers etc. without knowing this was something I'd like or not. So I've just been doing these in a mixed media sketchbook. I did buy the Sakura micron pens, but they weren't that expensive. (update: Dec 2016, the sakura pens didn't last as long as I'd hoped. I ended up replacing them with Faber Castell Pitt artist pens. The tips on these are larger, (longer?), so it seems that they should last longer. They are very smooth and I haven't had any bleed through. They come in similar sizes as the microns so these are a good substitute IMO.) I'd say give this a try it's fun to do. Not very time consuming, unless you want it to be. A nice outlet for creativity and for those of us who like to doddle Review: I found this book to be so inspiring! - This is a perfect first-timer Zentangle book. It really motivated me to start drawing again. After this book I got The Art of Zentangle: 50 Inspiring drawings for the meditative artist, which was a great second book after this one! I did love Krahula's approach to zentangle. She makes you appreciate the moment, the pens you use, and the paper or tiles you're using. It's all very relaxing and fun. Now I'm doing how to draw books and getting better and better. When I first started I hadn't drawn in years and very much felt like a non-drawer. I have a lot more confidence now and it all started with this book. I even think I might do this book all over again and I would still create different tiles. She recommends you use artist tiles, I did for some, but later I started doing it in a journal using high quality paper and I loved it. I'd like to add that I bought this book when my mom was fighting cancer and I was devastated. It did help me calm down and find some peace while I was going through a tough time. It wasn't a magic cure, but it made some moments better. I also got the book for my mom, but she was mostly too sick to enjoy it. She didn't make it and the loss was/is devastating but I still have the art to help me through. I feel like this book helped my path. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 1592538118 | | Best Sellers Rank | #21,370 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #10 in Mixed Media (Books) #23 in Mandalas & Patterns Coloring Books for Grown-Ups #73 in Art Therapy & Relaxation | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (2,613) | | Dimensions | 8.75 x 0.5 x 9 inches | | ISBN-10 | 9781592538119 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1592538119 | | Item Weight | 15.2 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 128 pages | | Publication date | November 1, 2012 | | Publisher | Quarry Books | ## Images ![One Zentangle A Day: A 6-Week Course in Creative Drawing for Relaxation, Inspiration, and Fun (One A Day) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1oeaHpWvPL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For Those Who Like to Doddle, Doodle With A Purpose! *by C***R on August 22, 2016* So far it's been a good learning experience.

This is the first one I got and the one that got me into it, and it is the best of the lot, but there is certainly room for improvement. First the pros: I like that it is organized as a series of daily lessons that build upon each other. This si the book's greatest strength. This encourages you to make Zentangle a daily practice, or at least a frequent/regular one. I did more than one lesson per day early on and later had to skip days or take longer to do some of them, partly due to my schedule, and partly because the projects became more time-consuming (and costly) later in the book. This also encourages you to try things--media and patterns and techniques that you might not otherwise try. The other books are not structured this way, but are more like random collections of stuff with a bunch of tangle step-outs (visual instructions for how to draw the patterns) appended. That said, there is generally something worthwhile in the random collections of stuff, but what is lacking is structure. This book takes the newbie or experienced tangler through various principles and techniques of art while introducing new tangles at a pace that makes it easy to integrate them into your practice. It also has you keeping a sketchbook as a place for practicing new patterns and techniques and working out ones of your own, another valuable art practice. The cons: As I mentioned earlier, the materials used in the projects get more costly as the book progresses. If you are buying everything recommended, it could get a bit pricey. That said, you will then have a nice collection of materials with which to continue your practice. I wish that the author had given some time to sustainable art materials. Some of the things she recommends, such as Gelatos and all those disposable markers and pens, are just grossly over packaged and lead to more plastic waste. There are various refillable technical (i.e. Rapidosketch, etc.) and fountain pens that use bottled inks and which are more affordable and less wasteful in the long run. And, as others have mentioned, the book would be better with better editing. Overall, this is the best introduction to Zentangle that I have seen and would give someone new to this practice a firm foundation in the discipline, and would fill in gaps and expand the horizons of someone who started tangling with a more random approach. To those critics who say that Zentangle is some evil, corporate patented form of doodling designed to profit those who founded it, I have this to say: that is nonsense--you can practice this art form without ever buying any Zentangle-branded merchandise--all you need are technical pens of the appropriate nib sizes, permanent black ink for them (and other colors as you see fit), ordinary graphite art pencils of any brand you want, a couple of stumps available at any art store, and quality paper. The branded Zentangle tiles are made from Fabriano Tiepolo paper, which is available at any real art store in big sheets that you can cut down to 3.5" squares for a lot less money, but most any quality printmaking paper (such as Stonehenge) or 90-140 pound watercolor paper cut to size will do. You can use a library card to borrow a book for free, or just visit any of the numerous websites now available (Tangle Patterns, for example), thus starving the alleged corporate beast. Or you could just keep complaining rather than trying out what may prove to be an accessible and enjoyable entry (or re-entry) point into the visual arts. ## Frequently Bought Together - One Zentangle A Day: A 6-Week Course in Creative Drawing for Relaxation, Inspiration, and Fun (One A Day) - Studio Series Artist's Tiles: White (75 pack) - Joy of Zentangle: Drawing Your Way to Increased Creativity, Focus, and Well-Being (Design Originals) Instructions for 101 Tangle Patterns from CZTs Suzanne McNeill, Sandy Steen Bartholomew, & More --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/286247-one-zentangle-a-day-a-6-week-course-in-creative](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/286247-one-zentangle-a-day-a-6-week-course-in-creative) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
