White on black - Diva Challenge.

Hello, hello, my zen friends,
I wanted to participate in DIVA weekly challenge. This week we have to do a white on black tile piece of work. I my town I could not find an white gel pen, nor a black pen&ink special paper. So, i used a black color normal paper and a Koh-I-Noor white pencil.
I am not very happy with the results, but I am glad I had the chance to practice more with some patterns.
For someone who is just starting to learn zentangle, white on black  is a little...weird.
So, here it is my tile for this week challenge:

  1. The pencil you used works very well on the black paper, and your tangles are wonderful. You varied the style and density so nicely, and the pencil gives a soft glow that you don't necessarily get with gel pen. Well done!

  2. Yes, I know what you mean...my first try was with white prisma colored pencil...it was a challenge to do all of the tangle work with a pencil. But I think you did a marvelous job and as a beginner it is very inspiring!

  3. Oh, thank you! I will keep trying :) and keep looking for some white gel pen. I think, in the end, I will order one on the internet. Actually, I think I will need also a brown one for the tan tiles. Any sugestiona for o good colored pen brand?

    1. Sakura has a set of the micron 01 in colored pens which includes red, blue, green, brown, purple, rose, sepia and black that are very popular and several color sets of gel pens which as you know are thicker...but I think the white gel comes in a finer tip as well. I haven't tried a great many brands of pens, but probably because I have been satisfied with what I have and haven't even used every color that I have. Seems like you are wanting the basics and that sounds like a good idea too. Have fun shopping!

  5. Thank you, pretty lady! I think the pattern it is called scrolled feathers, but I am not sure. It ia difficult for me to remember all the names 'cause there are a lot of patterns :)

  7. I think that you did an excellent job with the challenge. And the tangles that you picked weren't the easiest to do either. The Scrolled Feathers is beautifully done. It's one of those that I need to practice more to get it to look as nice as yours does. Nice work!
