More Help with Pea~Knuckle

OK, I made another Zendala using Pea~Knuckle. Do you like my border?  I made a mistake and started Pea~Knuckle on one of the spaces I wanted blank, so I just tangled a few auras around them.

I wanted to leave some white space, but all of that pristine paper is begging to be tangled.  So, what do you think, is it done?

As promised, here is a video I made showing how I draw pea~knuckle.
It's 11 minutes long, but I couldn't figure out where to cut it short.  Sorry about that.  I think you can tell why my Zentangle 101 classes run close to 3 hours!

It's my first how-to video, so please be gentle with me.  I have a lot to learn about video-editing.  And, for some reason, I kept saying "perpendicular" when I meant "parallel" so beware of that.

Despite that, I hope this helps someone.

Seven Tips for Pea-Knuckle

Have you seen the newest official tangle?  It is by Maria's daughter Molly Hollibaugh and it is a beauty.  You can find the printed instructions in the latest Zentangle newsletter. 

I will admit to being a bit intimidated by this tangle and I don't know why.  I usually can figure out how to do them without detailed instructions, but I had trouble with this one, even with the instructions.  I eventually mastered it and now I really love it.  I am working on a how-to video but it needs more time than I have right now, so here are some quick tips.

 

1. Start your first line of "S"es in the middle of the space you want to fill.
2. Try to keep the size consistent.
3. Make your "S"es nice and round.
4. Imagine an invisible line of "S"es next to the one you drew and draw your next line right alongside the invisible one.
5. After filling all of the lines of "S"es, rotate your paper a quarter turn. 
6. Draw lines from the open part of one S to the open part of the S in the next row. Again, it may be easier to start in the middle and work towards each edge. I do both edge lines before filling the middle.
7. After drawing all of the lines in one direction, turn your paper again to do the next lines.  

 

 

Here's the finished product.   

I hope this helps and that you like this new tangle as much as I do.
