In this episode of the "How To Draw Celtic Knots" series, I share how I quickly prototype Celtic knot designs by using a simplified grid and calligraphy markers.
This technique allows you to experiment with new knot sizes and break line patterns in minutes, instead of hours.
This method is best used to quickly find a design that you love, to eventually turn into a polished work of art.
