Default Re: Part 1: Celtic Line Drawing for Engravers


Now go back and put another circle in the center of each four corner circles in a square, like the ones below. Try and make sure you do this fairly neatly, and that the diagonals line up nicely. The neater you do this now, the neater your finished drawing will be.


Now we’ll start the “weaving” process. We always start with the second circle down on the left hand side. We’re going to draw a line from the bottom of the second circle down on the left side to the bottom of the next dot up and to the right (the circle at the center of the block, and diagonally up to the right). This is called an “under” weave. From now on we’re going to alternate “unders” and “overs.” We’ll always start on the left hand side with an “under” weave. Next we would place in an ”over” weave, but if you’ll remember one of our two rules you’ll know we can’t weave to a Sacred Circle on the top row, so we’re finished with this row of weaves.
