Here’s a little something.

It’s not really a tutorial at all but more of a peek behind the curtain to how I do my pure digital knots.  This is all done on Adobe Illustrator.  Took me about an hour.  The knot itself is pretty basic, I was just in the mood to build a “How  Things Work” piece.

And although this isn’t a tutorial, if some of you are already building digital knots and would like a pointer or two here are a few thing to note about this knot:
1.) The Polar Grid Tool in Illustrator is one of the least used tools in the program but is absolutely amazing for drawing circular knots.  Slap a grid down, turn Snap to Point on and the world is your oyster.

To make things even easier if you divide 360 by the number of Radial Dividers on your Polar Grid you’ll have the number to rotate your line segments by.  For this guy I had 12.  So all I had to do was draw a single arc, and just rotate it by 30 degrees a few times and I had my outside border.

3.) Shading segments is a lot easier with a radial gradient then a linear gradient.  It’s almost guaranteed to shade both sides as the line goes under another line without ever having to change the angle of the gradient.

I’ll put together a more in depth tutorial later but this may give you something to try at home.  Or to just stare at and smile.  Either way its fine with me.

And because I’m sure someone will want to see it, here’s a finished version.
