Form Drawing and Celtic Knots
Form Drawing and Celtic Knots
Practice drawing these forms with a pencil without lifting the pencil from the page. Replicating them is deceptively difficult. Each time you draw one of these forms, your eyes and writing hand will develop a greater understanding of how each form is constructed. Seek to make them as balanced as you can, just as they are in the model, and move your hand at a slow but steady pace.
