Mandala 53 of 100. This mandala contains 31 different Zentangle® patterns, one for each day of October. I was interrupted by health issues, but have now completed the ink portion of the mandala. Inktober was created by Jake Parker

“I created Inktober in 2009 as a challenge to improve my inking skills and develop positive drawing habits. It has since grown into a worldwide endeavor with thousands of artists taking on the challenge every year.”

Laura Harms, from IamtheDiva, provides the list of tangle patterns that are suggested for the Zentangle® version of Inktober. She also provides videos of how to draw each pattern. Mine isn’t done yet. I plan to do some shading and probably add color, too. I greatly enjoyed this process and may do this again.
