Drawing
Drawing is the art of producing images on a flat surface by making marks. Ink, graphite, chalk, charcoal, crayon-- the materials for mark-making are endless!
Formally, drawing offers the widest possible scope for the expression of artistic intentions. Bodies, space, depth, substantiality, and even motion can be made visible through drawing. Furthermore, because of the immediacy of its statement, drawing expresses the draftsman’s personality spontaneously in the flow of the line; it is, in fact, the most personal of all artistic statements.

contour drawing
A contour is a line which defines a form or edge. Essentially, it is the drawing of an outline of an object. It's very likely that you've been drawing contour lines all along because it is the simplest form of art.
Contour drawing is the place where most beginners start because it is the most obvious. When you think of drawing an apple, you will automatically begin by following the visible edges of the shape. This outline, or contour, describes the outermost edges of a form and so, you can quickly draw an apple.Contour lines can also be used to depict dramatic changes of the plane within the form. In our apple example, you might add a little curve that indicates the indentation where the stem forms. This is also a contour line.

zentangles
The Zentangle Method is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. We call these patterns, tangles. You create tangles with combinations of dots, lines, simple curves, S-curves and orbs. Zentangle art is non-representational and unplanned so you can focus on each stroke and not worry about the result. There is no up or down to Zentangle art. If fact, you can most easily create Zentangle art by rotating your tile as you tangle -- always keeping your hand in a relaxed position. You don't need to know what a tangle is going to look like to draw it. You just need to know the steps. The result is a delightful surprise.
