This document provides instructions for creating a Zentangle self portrait using pen shading techniques like stippling, scribbling, hatching and cross hatching. It recommends zooming in or cropping the subject and placing it off center for composition, then isolating one square at a time to apply the different shading techniques to create the portrait.
