So this is what I’ve been doodling on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4, mandala-style doodly things. I’ve also seen that calling things like this ‘zentangles‘ is a thing, seems to be a term they coined for their experience and method of what many of us just call our doodling style. I’ve been doing it this way since my teens, and it’s cool that they provided a method for people to learn. Worth a look, it’s a fun way to pass the time.
They were all done using the S Pen that comes with it (I have a much nicer Staedtler Noris Digital pencil now that I’m using to work on another piece). The last three pieces were done in Autodesk SketchBook, while the first one (it’s the red one if the plugin starts showing them out of order) was done in ArtFlow. I prefer SketchBook for doing these doodles because it’s less sensitive to pressure, but ArtFlow has bigger canvas options and will be nicer for regular sketching. I’ve used Amaziograph, which is a great, fun app, but the Android version is buggy, crashes a lot, has less features than the iPad version, and development seems to have fallen by the wayside for it, at least until they get the next major iPad version done (who knows when).
