AON - CELTIC KNOT & SPIRAL BORDERS: Draw Easy Celtic Knot & Spiral Borders & Tattoo Armbands

Don't choose between Celtic KNOTS and SPIRALS... have the best of both worlds!
This tutorial will show you how to connect a stand-alone knot design with spirals, and then make the pattern repeat so you have a continuous border. I go over two different methods of doing this, and we cover 3 examples.

This tutorials uses techniques covered in the Basic Spirals video and the Joining Knots video, so if you need to review those again here's the links:

(** and when I say in the video that the Giveaway ended at the end of August I meant the end of July, because the struggle is most definitely real...)

TOOLS...
All tools below are what I prefer to use in my own work. Feel free to use these to jumpstart ideas for you own Celtic art toolkit!

DRAWING PENCILS: A good range in lead weights gives you flexibility. For example, if you find a normal pencil draws too darkly and is a pain to erase, try a 2H or 4H, which will draw a lighter, more "silver" line, as opposed to something softer like a 2B or 4B, etc. Using "artist" quality pencils typically means less lead breakage and less "catching" on the paper. https://amzn.to/3c8mcC7

ERASERS: I prefer to erase with a white vinyl eraser. It is SO much better than a pink pearl type eraser (just burn that pink eraser, it's garbage! LOL). The white vinyl type is gentle on your paper and erases more cleanly. https://amzn.to/3c9embj

INK OUTLINING: Consider using a pigmented black ink for fine art as they are considered archival in quality. I love the Staedtler brand for my outlining. I tend to use all the different tip thicknesses - think for main outlines, and then down to the fine for details. https://amzn.to/3c3W3El

COLOR OUTLINING: Choose finer quality color pens so they are less likely to bleed or fade. Staedtler is again my go-to choice for these. https://amzn.to/3c9CgTV

COLORED PENCILS: I'm a snob and really love Faber-Castell (although a few shades I have are Derwent). https://amzn.to/2SVXXj1
That said, for bang-for-buck I have to hand it to Prismacolor. It is still a decent colored pencil and the price can't be beat. https://amzn.to/2YCy8YF
