It's just linear pen strokes following the flow of the knot.

For constructing the knot itself, I found this useful guide: http://www.entrelacs.net/The-basics

I took some progress pictures in case I overdid the hatching and needed an earlier stage to upload.

It seems you know me quite well already 🙃

Like Yazeh, I've been doing Asterix-inspired sketches. (Green and white striped top for Glasgow Celtic, maybe?)

I feel like we've been here before.

You confused me there, as to me, Laputa is the name of a flying island in Gulliver's Travels. But I asked Google, and learned of the 1986 Japanese animated film, Castle in the Sky, that you're referring to (I think). The two share an airborne civilization, anyway. And I like the drawing.

I'm glad you liked it. Yes, I was referring to Castle in the Sky.

Wasn't sure what to do with this one. So I drew a row-bot.

After quite some time I used again one of my selfmade Black Elder Stick pens, just dipped it in the ink.

That could also serve for "Celtic", as that looks rather like a Celtic cross there on the left.
