Step 1
We mentioned that when learning how to draw a Celtic knot, you’ll want to make sure you break it down into smaller steps.
That’s what we’ll start with in this tutorial, as we’ll be drawing part of the knot. As you draw, try to think of it as threads that repeat together.
For this first yarn, you will draw two curved lines that meet at a sharp point. As seen in the reference image, this will form a shape resembling a sharp dome.
Step 2 – Continue adding the button
The second step of this Celtic knot will help you draw those extra strands for the knot.
These lines are pretty simple to make, as all you need is to draw some curves going down from the ‘arch’ that you drew in the previous step.
Now that’s all there is to do so it’s time for the next step!
Step 3 – Next, draw at the top of the left wing
For the next step of the tutorial on how to draw a Celtic knot, we will add another arch similar to the one in step 1.
This arch will have more diagonal lines than that arch. Once done, we can continue to build issues as we move on.
Step 4 – Now continue the sequence from step 2
In the next step of how to draw the Celtic knot, you will lengthen the strands that you started with in step 2 of the tutorial.
To do this, simply stretch some of the curves more in a way that makes it look like they’re connected to the lines from that step.
Step 5 – Next you will draw another arch
You’ve drawn a few arches in this Celtic knot tutorial so far, so you should have no problem drawing another one for this step.
This will also go diagonally on the right side, just like in step 3. If any of this sounds confusing then referencing the reference image it will make it much clearer!
Step 6 – Complete the inner circle of the shape
In this Celtic node drawing step, you may notice that you are drawing a circle inside the button.
That circle is what we will be perfecting in this section. With the circle drawn, all that’s left will be to add some lines that make up the inside of the knot.
Step 7 – Now draw some lines for the inside of the button
The next few steps of this Celtic knot tutorial will focus on finishing the threads on the inside of the knot.
For this part, just draw some curves in the interior that look like they will connect to the arch at the top of the button.
Step 8 – Connect more lines
We’ll tie together even more themes in your Celtic knot drawing in these last few steps.
The curves you’re adding here will connect the yarn running across the node, as shown in the image.
Step 9 – End of the last sequence
It’s almost time to color your picture, but we have some final steps left to add to this step of our tutorial on how to draw a Celtic knot.
All you need to do for this step is add some more curves to connect the final yarn running along the inside of the knot.
After that, your Celtic node drawing will be complete and you will be ready for the final step.
Step 10 – Now finish your Celtic knot drawing with some colors
The last step of this Celtic button drawing is the one that gets you into the fun of adding some pretty colors!
In our reference image, we used some yellow and gray for the knot, but you should definitely choose any color you might love for this drawing.
You can also help bring these colors to life by choosing your art mediums wisely.
This is definitely a step you have to take and show us how creative you can be. We can’t wait to see how you bring this photo to life!
