Tiles for "It's a String Thing Challenge #183"

This is my tile for Adele's Bruno "It's a String Thing Challenge #183" . For this challenge we had a string in the shape of  a heart with an extra section on it's right side. and the patterns we had to work with were "Zenith" by Zentangle and "Caught" by Christine Reyes.

​I created this tile using black and brown micron pens, and shaded with a little bit of graphite and Prismacolor colored pencils  in sienna brown and beige.

I enjoyed this challenge so much that I did a second tile following the same string and patterns but with a slightly different idea, as you can see in the image below.

For this tile I used black and brown micron pens, and did the shading with graphite and highlights with white chalk pencil and white gell pen. For the areas in red I used Prismacolor colored pencils in orange, pale vermilion, crimson red and terra cotta. 

While I was drawing this tile I was thinking how our hearts are full of little cells filled with memories from special moments with our family and friends, moments of joy, peace and wonder. 
​
Wishing you all  a Happy Valentine's Day and a heart full of  joyful memories.
