TangleEasy Lovable Pets is packed with cute companion animal designs including a Dachshund, Pug, parrot, goldfish, Labrador Retriever, German Shepherd, Basset Hound, leopard gecko, Siamese cat, betta fish, horse, Beagle, Pit Bull, chinchilla, Chihuahua, kitten, and more. Use these fantastic designs for simple coloring enjoyment or fill them with tangled patterns to make your own Zentangle-inspired masterpiece.

Doodling isn't just for kids anymore! Drawing and coloring can help adults to release stress and encourage mindfulness, focus, and relaxation. Inside this patterning and coloring book for grown-ups, you'll find expert advice on techniques, including adding color, an introduction to color theory, color palette suggestions, simple patterning tips, and shading. You'll also find advice on mixing patterns, step-by-step instructions for eight tangles to get you started, and advice for designing your own patterns. A gorgeous gallery of 60 finished pieces offers inspiration for your own creations, including simple, mixed, and dense styles of tangling, and accenting with color.

This versatile template book for both coloring and Zentangle (R) pattern drawing provides a balance between ordinary coloring books that offer only limited artistic freedom for patterning, and completely blank sketchbooks that might offer too much unstructured freedom, leaving you uncertain where to start. The simple outlines for each design in this book provide you with a starting point to decorate with your own flair, without stifling your creativity.

Author Ben Kwok is an L.A.-based professional graphic artist who has been drawing since he was four! He decided to start creating templates for tangling enthusiasts and doodlers alike to create intricately patterned artwork that has a distinct shape when you're finished. His book TangleEasy Lovable Pets joins the series:

• TangleEasy Birds
• TangleEasy Wildlife Designs
• TangleEasy Mandalas
• TangleEasy Meaningful Mandalas and Sacred Symbols
• TangleEasy Sea Life
• TangleEasy Vintage Icons

A variety of art materials, including watercolors, colored pencils, markers, crayons, gel pens, brush pens, and more, will all look stunning on the extra-thick, archival-grade, acid-free, 200-year paper. On the back of each design, you'll find an inspiring quotation, an interesting fact about the pet, and space to write a note. Each one-sided page is perforated so you can remove a page before you start in order to draw and color on a different surface or, when it's finished, your art can easily be removed to hang up or give as a gift.

The perfect gift for adult coloring book enthusiasts and tanglers alike, find affectionate animals to color, tangle, and inspire, with TangleEasy Lovable Pets!
