The classic way of tangling a tile is to proceed from one section to another, tangling a different pattern in each section. That's the way you're supposed to do it in a coloring book. I like keeping each tangle within its own section, but I realize that I'm in a rut about it.
My sister thinks of the sections as suggestions for where to put the tangles. She'll tangle something outside the lines into another section or out into the area beyond the border. She thinks that keeping the tangles within the sections is too restrictive.
The really great thing about Zentangle(R)--and what you will notice if you look at some of Rick Roberts' and Maria Thomas's tiles on their Zentangle website--is that they often go outside the lines. Just remember that they are the experts in this art and the tangles are in their muscle memory so it's very understandable. I saw them do this all the time at the Zentangle teacher training. (Many other very creative tanglers in the Zentangle world have a natural affinity for this as well.)
So I have free yourself from the lines on my own Zentangle development list.
