Behold, a pencil image! It is the first I completed using the main ingredients of style and design I use today which continue to challenge and fascinate me. You can see the influence of Celtic knot work. If you don't recognize this term, note that the body is one knot from beginning to end and an "over" always alternates with an "under". This element is found in most works I do. I looked through several books when trying to figure out how to do the designs. I believe the best to be George Bain's Celtic Art: The Methods of Construction which is available in paperback. It is very thorough so you can refer to it for most of your needs and doesn't fall into the trap of thinking knotted designs are simply a mathematical puzzle to be solved on the computer.
