This video tutorial guides viewers through creating a Celtic knot using basic geometric shapes. It starts with drawing a 2x3 rectangle and adding circles at intersections. The tutorial explains forming diamond shapes and using tangent lines. It then covers drawing parallel lines to complete the knot structure. Finally, it demonstrates adding 3D effects to enhance the knot's appearance.
