Creating stippled Zentangle inspired art and mandala designs just got a whole lot quicker and easier!
If you’ve ever marveled at the stunning complexity of Zentangle style and mandala art, but feel overwhelmed by the idea of creating your own, then this pack is the perfect shortcut for you. For those who aren’t familiar with Zentangle, it’s beautifully complex art is created by combining multiple structured patterns to build a larger image. This striking look is usually achieved through contrasting black and white in fine liner.
Inspired by the art of Escher, and building on my years of experience designing mandala colouring books at a children’s book publisher, this complete pack contains stippled, fine liner pattern brushes along with a few art brushes and a set of mandala templates to get you started.
So, how does it work?
The brushes do the hard work for you! They repeat the hand-drawn fine liner material along a stroke so simply draw a line and the stippled pattern will repeat automatically along it – saving you hours!
Included in this set:
- The Brushes – 52 Zen Fine Liner Brushes. 1 Fine Liner Outline Brush. 2 Stipple Shading Brushes – one for closed strokes and one for open strokes
- A quick reference guide – This will help you quickly find the right brushes for the task in hand. In .PDF format
- Example file – I’ve included the whale preview image for you to backwards engineer. Please note: this are for personal use only and you may not use it commercially
- Instructions – A very thorough guide on how to load, apply and then adjust the brushes is supplied. This also includes a section dedicated to making your own mandalas

Hi. Just to be sure…can I use these brushes to create books to sell? Thanks a lot in advance
Gina Tomes –
Great question Sonya – I have popped an email over to you on this, and I would love to help 🙂

After playing around with the brush strokes, this is fast becoming my favorite brush set. The applications extend far beyond creating mandalas, although that is the primary reason I purchased it. The brushes by themselves can be used for borders, frames, and dividers. The brush designs are varied and lovely. Exactly what I have been wanting for years. Remember to click on stabilize to get a beautiful clean flow. Many brush sets have lots of competition. This one is truly unique in its design and I highly recommend it.
Gina Tomes –
Oh that’s wonderful to hear Sunny! I hope you can use these brushes for lots of upcoming projects you may have 🙂

Hey Ammin,
Thanks for getting in touch with us and it’s great to hear that you are interested in picking up some of these affinity resources. Affinity has stated that the iPad version of Affinity design supports the same files as the desktop version, so you should be able to use these fine liner brushes in Affinity designer on your iPad :).
