The main idea of this piece was to mix entangle designs with more realistic drawings. For example, The bottom half of the page is full of zentangles, while to top is more realistic. In the middle, I tried to make the drawings semi-realistic. For example, you can tell that the sun on a red background is what it is, but it's not a clear scene.
I used a marker, sharpie, pen, pencil, and paper for this piece. I used a pencil to sketch the original negative space outline and then used a sharpie to draw over it. I used a sharpie and marker to draw the designs and paper to draw all of them on.
I started by taking a few leaves I found outside and laying them out on a piece of paper. Then, on another piece of paper, I drew the negative space of the leaf paper. After that, I drew over the pencil outline with a thin sharpie. After that, I want and drew the spaces starting with the swirls on the far right and ending with the drawings in the center.
