SOFTWARE COMPATIBILITY – Our Zentangle® art and Mandala creator works with Adobe Illustrator only . Get the Affinity Designer version HERE
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 Illustrator brush and template 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 and textures to build a larger image. This striking look is usually achieved through contrasting black and white, stippled fine liner.
Inspired by the art of Escher, and building on my years of experience designing mandala coloring 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 Illustrator 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 – saving you hours!
The pack contains all of these useful components:
- The Adobe Illustrator Brushes
44 Pattern Vector Brushes.
8 Art Vector Brushes.
1 Fine Liner Outline Vector Brush.
2 Stipple Shading Vector Brushes.
- A quick reference guide
This will help you quickly find the right Illustrator brushes for the task in hand. In PDF format and included in the brushes document too.
- Example files
I’ve included a number of the preview images for you to backwards engineer. All brushes are live so you can examine the settings easily. Please note: All example files are for personal use only and you may not use them commercially.
- Instructions
A very thorough guide on how to load, apply and then adjust the Illustrator brushes and templates is supplied. This also includes a section dedicated to making your own mandalas.

Please note! These brushes and templates are compatible with Adobe Illustrator CS5, CS6 and CC only. Get the Affinity Designer Brush version HERE

This is one of the most gorgeous brush packs I’ve ever bought and makes it ridiculously easy to create gorgeous zen pictures. It almost makes me feel a little guilty when I use them because really, all the credit has to go to the talented Jeremy from Artifex for anything I create with these brushes!

the intalling of it was really easy and it will do what it is intended, however a you tube tutorial would be a great advantage, other purchases have them and makes for the understandingof the working of it easier, still a great purchase, i will gradually be competent in its use, I will definately be purchasing more..
