I joined an ATC swap on the Zentangle Inspired Art Site - which challenged participants to use tangles in the style of cubist art. Since I love cubist art I had to go for this one.
There is a wonderful video on Youtube that demonstrates an easy approach to cubism. I love it! Easy for all of us, right?
Take a Look at "Grade School Cubist Lesson"
I tried various shapes; leaves, a bird, and pears. Then I followed the steps in the video pretty much except for inserted tangles into the art work.
For color I experimented with Prismacolor, Tombow, and Copic markers. I shaded some of the pieces done with Prismacolor and Copics with pencil. Tombow markers were used on the pears and the second bird attempt. An aquabrush was used to blend the Tombows and achieve some shading. If you haven't tried Tombows I can highly recommend it!
Here are samples of how I played. Off to get my swaps in the mail!
