Patterns - doodling, tangling

I enjoy doodling and if I have a quad pad in front of me, it usually ends up looking like this:

Lynn Whipple's lesson for part 2 of Year of the Spark has an element of pattern making.  For the class assignment - I began with some color:

Pattern 1

Pattern 2

  

For the third pattern page, random doodling and tangling with some shading and no color:

Pattern 3

Pattern-making is relaxing.  When I put away my paper and pen, I have created some backgrounds that may be useful or if nothing else... collage fodder :-)

Tangling

Beckah Krahula's "One Zentangle® A Day" online class, Week One, finished on Friday. I am looking forward to Week Two.
I've been investigating all kinds of 'tangles' (patterns) and some of them make me want to grab a 01 Pigma Micron pen and start drawing :-)
Although I'm posting just one tile, my sketch book is filled with practice tangles and tangleations. I had to stop exploring and get down to completing my assignment for class!

This is my tile for Lesson 3:

A mix of the organic and geometric.

These little tiles really are great - the theory being there are "no mistakes" in Zentangle. Also, in theory, a tile should take about 20 minutes to finish. I find that my tiles take longer than that to complete; I don't want to rush the drawing part which means I'll just accept that it takes the time it takes :-)
