This is the best thing I've ever watched. So simple!

[@jburbage511]

Love the free style .... Less stress to create perfect knots. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@milesnagopaleen]

Thanks, Patrick. I never thought I could a Celtic knot on a grid let alone a freehand one!

[@user-vq2xi3gi4i]

Thank you for your explanation! So simple and so cool! Thank you, sir!)

[@PGCeltart]

Thank you. Keep drawing! 🙂

I have learned how to draw the symmetrical celtic knots, but I love these freeform organic shapes. Brilliant!

[@metanomad9022]

Absolutely awesome!

[@marlomill8893]

Nice, easy and yet challenging! I can't wait to do my first one.

[@LoveWiena]

wow, you made that look so easy....thank you, something for me to pursue for the New Year....yay!!!

[@BellumCarroll]

That's a lot easier than what I used to do. I would draw one continuous tube in pen and leave gaps alone the way to eventually come back to for an over spot. It turned into a game of not letting yourself get trapped on the page :)

[@BHAKTIBROPHY]

Ha! I was doodling like this all night...after drawing graphed Celtic knots. Great art therapy!

[@LorrieTakeda]

Thank you for this, Patrick! Very clear and easy instructions.

[@LorrieTakeda]

I love the randomness, spontaneity and freedom of creating your own Celtic Knot! Very soothing and meditative; much like creating a Mandala. Would highly recommend for those who like Zentangles.

[@bigeggs100]

WOW! Thanks, I love this.

[@PGCeltart]

Thanks. Try standing up at a black or white board.Use your whole body. Besides being huge, the pathways start to get very fluid and alive. and, I connect the cross overs in the middle before I start the "unders and overs". pg

[@Razzer1356]

Very nice, very simple straight forward explanation. Thanks for sharing this.

[@Primo_extracts]

👍

[@mastermill79]

Thank you! 😊

[@BHAKTIBROPHY]

I was getting stuck when an "over" or "under" was already drawn-- THAT's why I was having so much trouble with my doodles this evening! Thanks for clearing that up for me. Your little doodle there IS quite moving. Thank you.

[@13Moondancer]

Brilliantly simple, thanks for sharing.

[@schmiedemesser_Jasmine]

That is just awesome! Thank you very much!

[@blinkspacestudio8892]

I find this method by far the easiest way to draw huge knots. Once the lines meet up again to make one continuous line it should work out. I also agree with doing one cross over at a time. If you mess up even one of them you have to go back to try and find the one that you got wrong. This is really annoying when you have a knot that is the size of an A1 page lol.

[@PGCeltart]

Thanks, I have a few more lessons in the works. All the best!, Pat Gallagher

[@PGCeltart]

[@0skulllittle]

ur drawing looks like antion fish

[@patrickgallagher9902]

Why not! Use the outline of the letters as the primary pathway and then weave a second one around and through the outlines. I would use a second color for the weave. Thanks.
