First experiment with "Zentangle". Did it make me relax? No. It did teach me a lot about myself though. I realized what an incredibly technical illustrator I am (thought I was more intuitive) so it was quite difficult. I plan to use similar techniques as part of a future illustration.

Here is the detail (flat shot). The attached image is the full design with a different rotation. This made me realize it's time to invest in a better scanner… lol!

This is such a fantastic shot (although I can see how it wouldn't exactly be relaxing..) The level of detail is just insane, I love it! Thanks for posting a close up too, about to have a look now.

Such an incredibly rich teture and yet the contrast is so good that you can focus on the details too. I also like a lot the mood it has.

Thank you @Luna, very kind of you! What a lovely comment @Sebastian! I think the mood is what I like the most about this type of illustration - there are so many cultures to draw inspiration from and I have much to learn :)

I like it so much!
Is there any symbolism or it's totally random?

Thanks @Antonio! The sectioning is random, and that's probably the one thing I don't like… For the rest, I took inspiration from traditional japanese pattern expressions for water. Then I did my own interpretation of water rippling (in the center) and simple aquatic life (right corner). I tried to symbolize sand and pebbles too. And finally the flowers are "pulled" from a tea cup pattern on one of my dishes (photo here: http://www.melissabrunet.com/blog/first-zentangle/).
