The new focustangle in Square One is Ix. Last time I tried it (several months ago) I actually didn´t like the pattern. I really don´t know why, because similar patterns are true favourites of mine. So I started it all up in my sketchbook:
This is a scanned version. I used my fountainpen, Lamy, and shaded with graphite 2B. The other patterns are: Tipple, Hollibaugh,Msst, Black Perfs and Kassandra (my own pattern. This time I felt a little bit more relaxed doing it. I guess I need to keep it in focus for a week or so to overcome my resistance! Here comes the tile I made after my first drawing:
I started with Rain, a tangle I learned in the beginning of my zentangle-journey. I haven´t done Rain so much. To me it is a dramatic pattern and it has a touch of anger in it! Today it was the right day for some aggressivity. Then Ix could join in the background which made me feel a lot better about that pattern! Tipple and Cruffle (Sandy Hunter) is also following in the bottom underneath. This tile will also work as a third entry to Diva´s challenge no. 268! I also used string 113. That string was perfect fit to my mood today!

I do like both your tiles, but the last one is my favorite. I think it's more playful.
Both of your tiles are wonderful, but I think I like the last one better too. It just appeals to me more. I have a hard time with Ix also; although it is a fairly simple tangle, mine never seem to look right. Perhaps I should go back and try some of the ones that were not favorites. You have done excellent work for the challenge.
Both tiles are really beautiful!
Thank's Anne! Maybe it is. The first one I made with fountainpen in my sketchbook and then scanned so the appearance is quite different!😊
Thank's for your comment! Well I am more satisfied with the second one too. But today I had a breakthrough with Ix! I write about it in my last post! That means: Don't give it up!
Thank's Anja!😄
