AON - DRAW A BASIC CELTIC KNOT: Learn The Easiest Way to Draw a Celtic Knot

[@Lidiarodea]

Wow you are wonderful teacher❤

[@CindyL4261]

Subscribed! After watching David Nicholls tutorials, I’ve been drawing Celtic knots for about 3yrs now. But mostly just to doodle when I’m in a waiting rm or just want to have some quiet meditative time. A Mandala-type circle with rings of Celtic knots, or just a boring old square, is all I do! Happy to come across your channel because now I really want to expand my ability to draw them with more creativity. Thanks for the tutorials! Can’t wait to dive right in!

[@AonCelticArt]

Thanks Cindy! I hope you find them useful. I’ll be doing some spiral tutorials next, to expand on what we’ve been doing so far. Glad you could join the fun!

I loved your tutorial. I've been doodling knots for years but I am watching everyone of your videos looking for "knowlege nuggets" and drawing along. My bulldog , Dozer, had mixed feelings about your tutorial. He liked the first part just fine but, the over / under part had him speaking his mind, as bulldogs do. Not sure what he was saying exactly. Every time you would say over, bark, under, bark, over, bark. . .i was laughing so hard my line look like they were drawn by a drunk trying to maintain a verticle stool position. So thanks for the knowledge and the giggles you unknowingly gifted me. You made my day.

Bahahaha omg that’s awesome! I wonder what goes through their heads. My dog Molly just loves horses on TV. She’s just riveted. Can’t figure out what she thinks they are or why horses in particular. #animalsareawesome

I just received your book. Can’t wait to get started! The book is beautiful, informative and the pages are on such smooth paper! I have a huge obsession with paper. I have really been enjoying your video tutorials. Thank you so much :)

[@AonCelticArt]

Nice explanation tq

I have not been able to find your grid paper on your website.

[@AonCelticArt]

The link is in the show description, and also in he Learn section of my website, linked at the bottom. Here is the link for you: www.aon-celtic.com/learn/aon-dot-paper.pdf

[@saltywench]

I am extremely confused. I was always told a real celtic knot was one line all the way through, not two interwoven with each other, although many interwoven lines are very beautiful. How do I do an intricate pattern that is just one line you can follow all the way through? Is there a special trick that makes sure you don't have two or more different interweaving lines?

[@patriciagodfrey4853]

Do you have a download of the dot paper abs the mandala circle graph by chance.? Ty either way

[@anonmcanon910]

Beautiful work. Out of curiosity, what software do you use to create these clean clip art tutorial images? Adobe Illustrator?

[@AonCelticArt]

Yes illustrator. And then I take those into keynote (Mac version of PowerPoint) and make the animations. Then I put it all together in iMovie, and do the voiceover and add the intro and ending

[@anonmcanon910]

@@AonCelticArt Thanks for your response! I purchased one of your books not too long ago, have a nice day!

[@mindylawrence7357]

Is it possible to work a Celtic knot and then cut it out with an X-acto knife?

[@AonCelticArt]

Hi Mindy, yes you definitely can. How you approach it would depend on your use. So for example, if you wanted to cut the knot out to make a stencil, then you could approach it two ways. The easiest way to envision it would be to think of or make the outlines heavier. So in method one, you’d use the knife to cut on the inside of the outlines. So you’d be removing the centres… in the stencil example, if you stencilled method one, you’d be stencilling color into all the inner fill areas. The outlines would essentially be “gaps” between the fill areas and that would show the design. In method two, you remove or cut away the OUTLINES. So in this way the color you would be stencilled would only show up where the outlines are. The thing you maybe have to tweak if you were to make a stencil is to make sure some of the inner parts have enough connections to each other so it all holds together. Like if you’re making a stencil of a donut, if the inner hole isn’t connected to the outside part then when you cut it out you’d lose all the inner stuff and would be just left with a big empty circle! The best way to see this better would be to Google some stencils and see what they did to them. And if you wanted to cut it out with a knife to make something else… let me know your idea and I’ll try to help. The stencilling info is just me spitballing. Hahaha

I'm loving your tutorials, but for some reason I can't download the pattern for the aon dot paper 😕 vicki from Australia xo

[@AonCelticArt]

Oh no! From the Aon website? Shoot me an email from there with your email address and I can just email it to you, if that works. Don’t put your email here tho, or you’ll get spam until the day you die. Lol

[@cherylstevens1592]

I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO LET US WATCH YOU DO IT IN REAL TIME, SO WE COULD DO IT WITH YOU... NOT WATCH A SERIES OF "END RESULTS" MADE BY A COMPUTER.

[@AonCelticArt]

Ya no. That’s not how the tutorials are set up.

[@cherylstevens1592]

@@AonCelticArt UMM. WHAT? THAT'S NOT TRUE. THERE ARE MILLIONS OF TUTORIALS THAT ARE "REAL TIME" SO PEOPLE CAN FOLLOW ALONG. APPARENTLY, YOU JUST HAVEN'T GRASPED HOW TO DO THAT YET. HAPPY LEARNING!!!

[@hansashah5024]

Too much talking. Boring and losing interest.

[@Redrose50991]

The link for the grid paper doesn't work. Just sends to a dead page that says download pending 🫤

[@AonCelticArt]

It worked when I clicked it, maybe give it another shot?
