Description
I complex double interlace Trinity I did. I used a drinking glass for all the measurement. Most of my Tattoo designs are unreserved and I'll do free commisions. This one is up for grabs.Related content

Nice. I'd of gotten massivly confused if I tried to draw that and inevidably ended up coloring the wrong thing in.

Just thought I'd add a tip for inking drawings, since I've struggled with that a lot through the years as well:
When inking, unless you're going for a reall gritty, grungy sort of look, try to avoit ball-point pens like the plague. They tend to give really uneven ink coverage, as well as texture the paper. But then again, maybe that's what you're going for.
If that's not the case, however, I'd recommend picking up some felt-tip pens. There are lots of different brands out there, but the brand I and most of my artists friends in real life all use Faber-Castell. They're readily available at almost every art store, and come in a wide variety of colours and tip sizes.
Of course, it just occured to me that it may just be your scanner that's making the inking all wonky. Then I'd suggest trying to clean it up in a program like Photoshop. Hope that helps!

Uh, I can't blame the scanner or ball point pens, I have a Micron pen and that is how the drawing looks. That's my cruddy motot skills and shakey hand. Thanks for the tip on the Faber-Castell. I have shakey hands in any drawing position. If it weren't for my ADD medication I wouldn't have the patience for knots but they also make me jittery. My hand writing is horrid. Also I don't have photoshop.
Thanks for the advice! I'm glad to have it

I understand about the poor motor skills thing. For the longest time, my hands were really unsteady and I couldn't ink a straight line to save my life. It's all about practice. Here's what I did:
Just take an ordinary sheet of lined paper, and practice inking over the lines. It really helped me, and maybe it'll help you. Just an idea.

Very elegant and balanced. It really conveys a sense of strong circular motion.

Thanks! It's actualy it bit off kilter but you would hardly know it. I still have to find a way to make a good even trinity to start with cause even using a round tracer is not cutting it. I need to work with a compass.

Beautiful work! Your designs are refreshingly original, yet they really keep the sense of tradition within Celtic knotwork. I'm going to go check out the rest of your gallery now.

Wow, this is really nice! I love the double interlace thing going on it really draws my eye into the piece, that and the center of the trinity. Another piece of work

Thanks, the center was an afterthought, as was most of this design. I just measured out the basic s trinity knot and then fleshed it out and went wild.
