Have you heard of Zentangles? They are doodles taken to the next step. People create art by doodling. According to the Zentangle Web site: "Any thing is possible, one stroke at a time."

The doodle downloads provided in this article let you study or copy some Zentangles. Or you might want to paint them with a graduated water color wash. Or you can just sit and admire them.

All of the doodles were done by me. Feel free to download these doodles and do with it as you wish. I'll continue to add my doodles here for you to download. But I just know you'll want to make your own!

Doodles with a Purpose

Doodling:  not just for phone calls any more.Zentangle is an art form that people create by simply doodling. A paper is divided into segments, and patterns are repeated in these segments. Anything goes. Doodling has no rules.

This doodling often results in little works of art. The supplies needed to doodle or Zentangle are few:

- a pen or pencil
- paper

That's it!

I doodled this Zentangle while watching a movie. It's very relaxing! Right click it to save it to your computer. Then print it out to color it or copy it, if you want.

    I used to doodle more -- I bet if I stopped "playing" on the computer so much I'd doodle more again :-) I love the idea of zentangles! I think I'd enjoy making them.

    Love to doodle, but looking at the ones you have here, they would make a great pattern for black-work. Love them!

    I saw the word Zentangle somewhere else but didn't know what they were talking about. But this looks like it would be fun and very relaxing. And I love looking at Doodle art. Great pics!

I've always doodled but didn't know about doodling with a purpose (Zentangles) until a Facebook friend mentioned it. I loved it right away!
