* I am learning to draw Celtic Knots for reasons that are definitely just long standing interest and not being obsessed with Halsin from Baldur's Gate 3 and wanting to make some planner layouts themed around him.

Maybe not great, but for my literal first attempt ever:



I've looked at how to draw them before and was too intimidated to try, but I knew in the back of my head that the standard way to learn to draw them is using a dot grid... which is what most planner pages are. Using that they have grids anyway to do some Celtic stuff had been in the back of my mind in a while and wow, I should have tried this literally decades ago.

Fan art of the very tall, burly elf druid in question. Yeah, I have strong feelings about Halsin. I may post about why at a point but for now... yay, drawing stuff. Also, should maybe write Halsin/Astarion or Halsin/Tav/Astarion in addition to Astarion/Tav.

Those turned out really well! I like the one middle left best.

Thanks! Center-left was the second one I did, the ones with center-separation were harder to wrap my brain around.

Those look great to me! I really love the one on the left in the second row. I've also long wished I could do Celtic knot designs, but I'm kind of afraid to try, ha.

I had that exact fear! I used this guide if you want to take a stab at it: https://doitandhow.com/2018/01/20/drawing-celtic-knots/

Ooh, I have bookmarked that! Thank you! That makes it look... slightly more manageable!
