It is my understanding that the difference lies in what you draw. If you fill your spaces with patterns that do not create an actual item, such as a flower, frog, fish or whatever that is Zentangle. If you do use actual items in your patterns, then it is Zendoodle. Zentangle is the creation of repetitious patterns and Zendoodle is creating a picture with your Zentangles. I am mainly a doodler but do both. Here are a couple pics to show my understanding of the difference. I could be wrong of course, LOL. That has been known to happen. As you can see, even my mainly tangles have some doodling in them.
