Difference.
These two little Bijou tiles both have the same tangle, Munchin. The first tile, in the upper left, was done by scattering dots on the tile and then drawing the tangle in the traditional way. I added shading at the convergence of the lines for each small triangle.
For the second tile, I started in the center of the tile with one triangle. Then, I added each new triangle, growing off of the existing ones. The shading in each triangle was added at the far edge, where all the lines ended and are spread out.
Each of these techniques produces it’s own look. Which way you draw, and shade, any tangle is totally up to you. The more you tangle the more your own unique style will develop and emerge! So take some time and play with individual designs to see what you like and don’t like and what is comfortable for you!
