Make Corner Dots Using a pencil, make a dot in each corner of a tile. Connect the dots to form a border. This line can be
wavy or straight. You dont need a ruler. 2. Draw a String The line can curve, wiggle, zig or zag into any shape you want try circles, triangles, and other simple shapes.

Make some areas large and others small. Do not erase. The original pencil lines are part of the design. 3. Add Tangles Switch to a black Micron pen. Fill each section with a different tangle (see ).

Note: You do not have to fill every section with a tangle. 4. Add Shading with a Pencil I encourage you to experiment with the shading process. Shading adds depth and texture to your design. Shading also adds a touch of dimension.
