Celtic Crest WIP

[Vegas Art Guy]

OK the title is a WIP like the drawing. The knot is based on the tutorial here on WC, if you want to try Celtic art start there. Anyway I bumped up the levels so you can see the pencil lines. Let me know what you think... http://www.wetcanvas.com/Community/images/28-Jun-2010/23340-Celtic_crest_wip.jpg

I stayed up too late last night and finished it. :lol: Of course my son had to wake up early as well...http://www.wetcanvas.com/Community/images/29-Jun-2010/23340-celtic_crest_WC.jpg

I am going to do a set of four next, although this one was a pain. I think I spent about 90 minutes just penciling in the knot.

Time well spent! I love anything celtic! I think a set will look great.

so having the general idea of how to do it, this is the next step... http://www.wetcanvas.com/Community/images/29-Jun-2010/23340-Celtic_knots_wip.jpg

I put the bottom on there so I would know which end was up, and the area I erased is where I am going to start. I did the last two Celtic knots in brown so this time I am going to go with reds and oranges.

Thanks I am going to do this one in red and orange. I think it will turn out OK but I need to work on my symmetry for the next one.http://www.wetcanvas.com/Community/images/30-Jun-2010/23340-Celtic_knots_wip.jpg

Here is where I'm at. Unfortunately the orange is not showing up, no surprise since it's little more than a tint to add warmth and to soften it a bit. :)

Good work! I saved that Celtic turorial on 'my favorites', too. I did like your pointellism approach.

Thanx 4 posting. This pleaseth our eye. :wave:

Very pretty!....have you considered doing a full page design?

[Vegas Art Guy]

I'm not sure, this small one took forever to do. I am going to try the pretzel knot next and see how it goes.
