This tutorial is based on my Celtic Meerkats [link] design.

It attempts to walk the reader through the process by which I drew the weaves around the meerkats. I hope you find it useful, or at least interesting.

Drawing Celtic Knots - Weaves by =sidneyeileen is a wonderful tutorial where this artist shares her techniques in the traditional design and illustration of these decorative interlaced patterns.I am sure this will be useful to most artists who wish too learn this creative style of graphical embellishment. Thank you for sharing. ( Featured by `znow-white )

Very very nice! I like it a lot :). You do celtic knots a lot like I do in the sense of kind of free-styling it, instead of using a grid. You mentioned a light-box a couple times, what did you mean by that? After inking it, what did you use to color it? How big was the paper that you drew it on? Awesome work, and good tutorial :)

The drawing itself is 7" in diameter. A lightbox is a box with a semi-clear or clear top, and a light inside it. You put something on it, with a paper over it, and light the light, and can see the bottom layer through the top. (my apologies if my writing isn't clear right now - Search for "lightbox" and you'll come up with links to ones for sale so you can see what they are). I used Copic markers to color it.

I'm glad you enjoyed the tutorial. :aww:

They are really awesome pens. I'm not a big fan of markers, but I do like them a lot.
