[popparoc46]

@TheBrickboy94 heh heh - - roc

[Esets]

Thank you very much for sharing how to draw celtic knots!! And thanks to your calligraphy teacher who taught you you this so you can teach us now! :) I've always loved the intricate pattern they make and I would like to use it in more of my paintings and wood sculptures, but I think it's been a bit hard to make my own patterns since I couldn't quite understand the system behind of making them. But with your video I think I finally start to realise how to do! Thanks again! :) - Robin

[popparoc46]

@Esets Robin, I am glad it 'clicked'! Even after all these years, drawing a knot still amazes me - the method and how it works. I'm going to do another video soon that will show more patterns. Watch for it!

Thanks for the great comment. - roc

[laurenisachatterbox1]

@CordSurvivalist heh heh - does this mean you like it or are you frustrated? - roc

[PJS82595]

[popparoc46]

@PJS82595 Keep trying. You will get it - and when you do, you will see the magic. As though a light has been turned on. You will just love knowing how to do this.

- roc

[superraptor65]

This was very helpful! I am a young Celt in Scotland learning my cultures art,this made it look so easy! Thank you. Tapadh leabh!

[popparoc46]

@superraptor65 You're very welcome. I'm glad you liked it. - roc

[MyTMe23D]

THANKS ALOT!! UR AWESOME!!



[amywyse]

Nice! I will try it out! What type of pens do you use to trace and color/fill in? Does it bleed through the paper?

[popparoc46]

@amywyse Ah. You ask about the pens. If I am just playing around, I'll use what ever is at hand. A fine felt tip is good - a Flair, brand new, before the tip gets squishy. A fine Sharpie doesn't bleed the lines too badly and with a bit better quality paper, it won't bleed through the paper. For a "good" knot, I'll use India ink, black and waterproof, in an art pen with a fine nib. Koh-i-noor (Rapidograph) is perfect. For filling in, if you've used waterproof ink, the lines won't bleed. - roc

[Chronictmforthew]

I can draw a bad ass stick figure! :3

[popparoc46]

@Chronictmforthew  Bravo! - roc

[Offshoreorganbuilder]

[Matitzarichie]

Hi Roc

Thank you for subscribing. I have included a few pics of my cups. Hope you like them. I'm just putting up a few pics of my first goes at your Celtic Knots. I hope to include a design on my next wooden project.

[Matitzarichie]

Many thanks.

I have just started wood carving and kolrosing birchwood kuskas (little wooden Finnish cups). This video is an enormous help to me, so I'm off to prcatice now. Cheers

Steve

England

[popparoc46]

@Matitzarichie Steve, I would just love to see your little birchwood cups. I hope you will show. And, just to show you that I am serious, I am going to subscribe to you.

Get a move on! I really would like to see!

I'm glad you found my Celtic knot and took the time to comment.

- roc

[47lizzi]

This is awesome. It took me awhile to learn it but I think it has finely sunk in, a suggestion to your followers is to make the dots and walls with ink, and then use pencil for your lines, I had to do a lot of erasing before finely getting it down, Thank you so much for your instructions.

[popparoc46]

@47lizzi Yes, that is a good idea when you are just learning! I'm glad you've enjoyed and mastered the method! Have fun with it - your friends will be amazed! - roc

[nerdyubergeek42]

What kind of pens do you use?

[nepolyte]

[1cooldog72]

I am good at this!

[comedyguy297]

THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE

[penguinomg]

your voice is very calming

[mchuning]

Could you explain how to form this pattern around an open space, say, for a picture frame? Really amazing work!

[Hephaistos51413]

ok, if this tutorial is too confusing, search for:

" Beginner Drawing Lessons : How to Draw Celtic Knot Work "

Bill Connolly cartoonist and artist extrodinare.

[popparoc46]

@Hephaistos51413 Huh?? This video isn't confusing. I understand it perfectly. OH, did you mean for my viewers??

Ah.

Well, most seem to get it.

[penguinomg]

@popparoc46 thanks for this. got something to do in anthropology now :D

[hsukrystin1995]

I DID MAI FIRST KNOT.... full page... :P... do you other designs.?

[ilikecheese307]

hey im an artist myself could u show some of ur artworks

[TheMisslilBieber]

dis is some confusing shit -__-

[popparoc46]

@TheMisslilBieber I hope that means that you like it! If you watch a couple of times, you will get the hang of making a knot. I still find it amazing! Let me know how you do! You will impress all your friends.

BTW - I see you are a Justin fan. I used to see him busk in Stratford Ontario a few years ago.

[oliviasaria]

OMG all summer i couldnt draw now i got some inspiration

[popparoc46]

@oliviasaria I am happy to be an inspiration!! Glad you liked it. - roc

[OoOstegstegOoO]

thanx for showing me how to do this method. Ive been obsessed with this.

[popparoc46]

@OoOstegstegOoO I understand! They obsessed me as well! I'm glad you enjoyed!  - roc

[MsGOKL]

can you maybe make a tutorial on graph paper? because thats what im using and your way makes it a little bit more confusing

[popparoc46]

@MsGOKL Yes - when you are learning, graph paper is ideal, but the dots makes it easy. - roc

[NolikargAven]

okay now i just have to be a master of writing

[hsukrystin1995]

does there need to be like an even number of dots length and width wise? or does it not matter? i wanna make one. i love them. i love drawing geometric and cool designs. keeps me busy and outta trouble or moms way.

DO YOU KNOW OTHER DESIGNS? SIMILAR TO THIS ONE? OR COMPLETELY DIFFERENT? I LOVE WATCHING YOU DRAW. THX

[popparoc46]

@hsukrystin1995  I will soon post another video to show you. - roc

[excaliberate]

Excellent tutorial. I wish i saw this one first...would have saved me so much time!

I have to say, now i think I will hold you for many pages of knotting i see in my future...

Thank you very much.

[popparoc46]

@excaliberate Thanks! It is comments such as yours that makes it all worthwhile! I hope you do enjoy drawing knots! - roc

[FireflyIsland]

AWESOME thank you SO much!

[popparoc46]

@FireflyIsland You're welcome. I am really glad you liked it. - roc

[hsukrystin1995]

WAIT CAN YOU DO IT ON A WHOLE PIECE OF GRAPH PAPER? or only 4*4?

[popparoc46]

@hsukrystin1995  Yes, you can make them as big as you want. It is better if you add some barriers to create a design. I am glad you have enjoyed this! - roc

[shinypokemon1000]

Thank you very much! My first one was a bit wonky, but I am sure I will become better ;P

[popparoc46]

@shinypokemon1000 I am sure you will become a PRO!! Enjoy. Message me if you have problems. - roc

[shinypokemon1000]

@popparoc46 Hehe, I am definately becoming better, but i ran out of paper :(

[popparoc46]

@shinypokemon1000 I feel your pain! Go and get a pad of quad paper ... or, if you can find it, 5 squares to the inch paper. It is the best for practice.

[RIVERINE]

Thanks to you and your teacher.I have been doing simple panels and borders since junior-high school.The "break" has eluded me since then.Now I understand what George Bain meant in his book when I can see it happen.Many thanks.

[popparoc46]

@RIVERINE Yes - George Bain. His work is wonderful!  I am glad you enjoyed this method - I hope you keep practicing! - roc

[leticinha1590]
