Zari tangle

Our Shading and Exploring Facebook group is celebrating it's 100th challenge! The focus tangle of the week is Zari, a tangle deconstructed by Veena Arun here. I continue to work with black and white, still using a strong diagonal like the previous one using Palrevo.

The challenge of this one was that I made it on the plane back from Brazil! Although most plane rides are pretty smooth, this one had a bit of turbulence, which did not help on the line-art. Here is the line-art before shading. You can see that I used the Tiny Details technique, which makes things so intricate that it almost doesn't need any shading:

I used an F and 2B pencil for shading. I really like how the Zari tangle turned out so 3D and organic, and also the details on the top portion with Narwal and Betweed.
