Description
Lines. Everywhere.Pretty pleased with this one. Exapnded the style that I used on Tendrils ([link] . Could have coloured it, but I like the look of black ink on a white background. It has its own elegance. It's also binary, if that makes any sense; it's either there or it isn't, no shades of grey. Need to get better pens though. Been using gel pens from the dollar store, and the ink erases a bit when I remove the pencil lines. Any recommendations for brands of fine liners/technical pens? Decent quality, but more importantly a low price (anything would be better quality than what I use now).

This is beautiful and very intricate. Its a bit on the busy side, a few less lines mingled in might be more elegant. But overall very nice!

Yes, I measure out a grid with a ruler, to provide a guide for the lines. usually use an approximately 0.5 cm grid.

Amazing! You have such a steady hand a smooth lines, and the intricacies are just fantastic. 
Keep up the hard work, it looks fantastic.
Technical pens? Hm. I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but I really like them for my inking.

Yeah, it is. I've used Microns before, but I forgot about them until I saw a forum thread on ink and pens. I wasn't too fond of them, but I think the set I used was older than me.

Wow, you really have a steady hand!
When it comes to pens, you can ask in an art store. They will recommend you a good technical pen that you can afford

Hi
I'm from !
As I first saw this piece it reminded me of some gothic crosses I've seen in Irish cementeries, but now that I look at it better I am amazed to discover that it isnt'.
It's far more complicated!
All those lines that cross each other, the perfect simmetry, the greatness of your composition...
I can't help but fave this piece!
I admire your work

That looks so, SO very complicated. Rather you than me, because I won't have the patience.

I have the patience for this kind of work, but not for other things. Ex, pointillism. Can't stand pointillism.

Wow! Amazing! How did you keep track of that many overs and unders!! Amazing

I don't always. On my simple pieces I can, but on my complex pieces I usually make a mistake, especially when I'm trying something new. I edit out the mistakes on the computer. On this one I made a few mistakes on where I split the threads near the centre, because I never tried doing that before. Other than the mistakes, I find a systematic way of doing the overs and unders.
