I've recently got into drawing Celtic Knots and in today’s video share the method I’ve been using for drawing circular borders.
I have been using a method I've used for years, adapted from a book I had over twenty years ago. If you know which book it might be, please do let me know because I've forgotten! This is based on that method, with a little playing around by me to work out what I like best, and some more recent memory jogging by watching David Nicholls on this topic!

You can find my video about drawing celtic knots on a grid, including how to use break lines, here: https://youtu.be/J-MG4MrnrXA
I also have a watercolour celtic knot tutorial over on my other channel:

SUPPLIES
Pens:
I like uni-pin waterproof fine line drawing pens. I use every size from 0.03 to 0.8 so I buy them in sets of multiple sizes whenever I see an offer on them!
