Zentangle: Several More Zentangles
I have the results of several challenges to share with you, but, before we get started, I want to explain a few things. First, all of these drawings were drawn in Inkscape, and all of the effects such as colors, shadows, bevels, and overlays were added using a very old version (version 3) of Photoshop. Photoshop defines a pattern as a repeating image. You can use an image of anything — paper, wood, or a drawing — as a basis for your pattern. In several of the images displayed here, I used a pattern overlay to create the background.
Joey's Weekly Tangle Challenge #207
I wanted to see if I could actually finish someone else's tile. So, I drew this as much like the original as I could.
Joey's Weekly Tangle Challenge #206
I love this silly little picture. I had a hard time with this challenge. There were two failed attempts, and I was actually going to go with one of them, when I started doodling and came up with this.
Joey's Weekly Tangle Challenge #200 & 202
I particularly like this background. It is a standard pattern that came with Photoshop. I added a gradient overlay to the drawing. I like the result. It makes the drawing look, almost, as if it was drawn in ink.
I am the Diva Challenge #355
This challenge uses the pattern Verve. It reminded me of the pattern Stripping and challenge #336. So I approached it the same way; except, instead of using a white background, I used a patterned overlay.

To me, this looks like a wall of ceramic tiles.
Post Script:
Looks like I got the tangle wrong. I started out doing it correctly — I think, but I kept changing things around until I ended up with something that is either totally off, or is what some people would call a "variation."
Question About Comments
First, I would like to say I appreciate and welcome all your comments.
I would like to comment on other peoples work, but if the site is hosted on blogspot, I can't. I have a Google account, and I have tried logging in and then trying to post, but that does not work. I have tried posting as anonymous, but that does not work either. In fact, short of opening up my own blogspot account, I have tried everything I can think of and nothing works. If anybody can tell me what I might be doing wrong, it would be appreciated.

Such wonderful tiles, and I love the little fish tile! Lots of color and creativity!
For the question about commenting, it should be possible to comment on the blogspot blogs. My mom does sometimes and I think she only has a google account (not a blogspot account). I’m pretty new to blogging, but I’ve investigated the comment settings on my blog and I see it was not set to allow anonymous comments. I changed my settings so that might help. Perhaps it depends on how people have the blog set up?
Thanks Lisa! I am also going to check the settings on my computer. Maybe it is the way I have something set.
Such a different Verve!
Very nice tiles! I really love that fish on the Joey tile. So fun!!
I don’t have a blogspot account but if I’m logged into my google account i can leave comments. I used to have trouble and I’m afraid I can’t remember what I did to put it right. I’ll check and get back to you if I find anything useful. Your work here is lovely and the colours are really vibrant,
Thanks! I appreciate your taking the time to answer. I really want to get to the bottom of this.
I ‘m not so familiar with Photoshop but I do like your results, your compositions and chosen colours. My fave are” the ceramic tiles” and the coloured Verve, absolutely wonderful!
