Seriously THE most helpful instructions I've ever found for knotwork and I've looked all over the place. I just spent the last hour committing the triskele to memory and practicing free handing it. Thank you a million times over.
I think it's great the way you've explained and demonstrated this so clearly by free-handed. I've seen so many complicated directions that are more likely to put people off rather than make viewers feel that they can achieve celtic knotwork!
Thank you for the kind words. I have a complicated one later in the series drawn with a compass. I'm sure you may think it's easy with a few tries too.
Great! Glad you like them. The newest segments I've just posted here How to Draw Celtic Patterns 106 - Triquetra interlace from Book of Kells 1of7 (starting with video 106) are the same interlace pattern with an extension in one direction. It'd be a good 2nd pattern to try.
I don't consider myself to have much artistic ability atall, but WOW, you made this so easy to follow and complete, even for me! Plus, it was a real pleasure to watch you draw. Thank you for this; you have a new subscriber!
It's interesting that even sided shapes (square, hexagon) divide into 2 when a knot is construced within it. But odd sided shapes (triangele, pentagon, heptagon) the knots don't divide.
The Triskele is actually a greek symbol wich was later adopted by by the Gauls and the insular Celts, you can find it on the flag of the Isle of Man and the one of Sicily (a former greek colony), while the Triquetra is the one you drew, a fantastic job otherwise, it really got me inspired, thank you.
Am i having a difficult time trying to transfer these design to the viking battle axes I fabricated from old farm implementations and furniture wood! They look bad ass as they are but if i can etch the steel and burn the wood with these designs itll be a game changer!
Try going slow and being patient with yourself. Start with just drawing a triangle (maybe 10 times) until you are comfortable with that. Then putting a dot in the center. Then the rest of the steps.

Only took me nine tries to get it! (That is a compliment. These are harder than they look) THANK YOU!!!! Best video I have found so far. Huge help.
Glad to help. If you sketch it 100 times you'll never forget how. Let me know how it goes.
Thank you
It's great to learn a little history while learning art.
I am Scottish and think that you do justice to the traditional drawing.
I love that you give a little history along with the instruction. Thank you!
Great way to teach the mystic knots step by step. Beautiful!
Great, clear and concise tutorial. Perfect for lesser mortals like me. As a Scot, I thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! Me moms side is from Inverness too.
Thank you so much!!!Never thought drawing celtic knots could be so easy!!!
My pleasure. Keep practicing and it will get easier still.
Right? It's always been the artistic equivalent of calculus to me. And I am no mathematician.
Thanks, goldsmith. I am getting addicted to this art.
This is a really nice way of doing that particular knot!
Better video this time, so easy to follow. Many thanks
I really could do it! I found it easy following step by step - even tall skinny or wide & fat triangles! Thanks so much.

This was fun to practice and easy thanks.
Glad you like it! Drawing or doodling with a compass is fun too ua-cam.com/video/vKe9RvfwI7A/v-deo.html

Thank you so much to share with us.. trust me i am going to try every video of you...
You can also do the 4triangles in the middle and connect the lines. It works
great vids. I have just about managed this design,just needs a bit more practice. fascinating stuff. thanks for the uploads.

Fantastic tutorial; thanks!
MIND BLOWN !!!BOOOOM!!!!! Thanks
@fluteloka. Thanks! I just posted a way to draw this with a compass and pen too in video #36.
This is so cool.
It's really interesting and I thought it will be kind of hard but then no its not
And you can extend the same concept to n number of polygons
whats with the roman numerals?
thank you so much

I really cant do it i find it VERY HARD :(

drawing them out as a set of steps like the video shows helps too,.
Goddammit, mine looks like someone tried playing connect the dots in a pyramid >:(
