Calmness, called zen, is how this technique of art makes us feel. Day 1: 1. Go to the templates and watch the first video on directions on how to start your zentangle thumbnails. This will walk you through the first steps for making the 9 box thumbnails. 2. Once your 9 thumbnails are done, go to the second template to watch video two on your next steps.
