Zentangle - Static

xifengNot very long ago, I bought myself a Wacom tablet (small Intuo5, if you're keen on the gory details), with the idea of ultimately drawing scenic XFO myself. I used to draw a lot as a kid, but ultimately stopped when I got to be in about high school or so; I don't remember what the immediate catalyst was for this. Shortly after I got the tablet, I bought a copy of One Zentangle a Day (Beckah Krahula); you can read more about Zentangling here, but I bought this one in part because it's supposed to be non-representational, and consequently the onus of producing any sort of likeness is off me.
I think once I've done the entire book, I'd like to go back and do it in traditional media as well. As groovy as the Intuo5 is, I think that would give me a little more control in some regards (I've already discovered I like drawing faces better with traditional media).
This one is called Static, and looks absolutely nothing like the picture in the book. The shading is particularly crap. Ah well, I can only get better, right?
