It’s That Easy!
ONCE YOU GET THE HANG OF IT, THERE IS NO LIMIT TO WHAT YOU CAN DO. GO AND PLAY!
One of the really great advantages of digitizing your Zentangle art is the flexibility it can bring to your art journals. Not only can you stick your printed-out digital tangles into your journal, you can use them as collage layers, too. Maybe they can provide the base layer for your journal page?
If you print them out on a laser printer, you can also add some of your existing art supplies over the top, including watercolor and gouache, Stickles or maybe even rubber stamp over them. The potential is endless and only limited by what you’re willing to experiment with!

These two digital works originate from the same background. One uses the
Darken
feature, one uses the
Exclusion
feature. Playing with Adobe Photoshop is one of the best ways to learn how to use the program and its capabilities. As you can see, one change in choice can create a very different piece of art.
