Description This is a simple Celtic Knot tutorial for Illustrator. This is designed as a complete beginners guide to Illustrator. It is not version specific, although it should be noted that this was created in Illustrator CS.

All the techniques described here can be used on more complicated celtic knots.

The finished image could, or rather should , be taken into Photoshop for the addition of textures and shadowing etc.

Hope this is useful.

Very interesting... I should do more knotwork on my computer... I've always done it by hand but the digital kind looks so much smoother.

Your tutorials are so awesome, keep em coming ^_^

I was taught how to use illustrator in school but I still couldn't find any practical applications for it except for doing lineart for drawings. You've really shown me how useful it can be. Thanks
