Tragically under-viewed!! . . . and I thought they were doing OK - but then, I don't know really what I should be expecting! Thank you for your very kind comments - what a nice thing to say!! D.

Thank you for taking the time to make these tutorials. They have been very helpful and your methods are much easier to understand.

I was planning to only do the knot in the first video, but after 3 hours, and night of sleep, and roughly another hour, now I know how to make these pretty shapes. Is kind if unreal to see the result of my own hand. Thank you for this videos

I just finished watching the entire series and I want to compliment you on the way that you designed your lessons. You made it so easy to understand. Each lesson built on the preceding lessons, avoiding tedious repetition. Thank you for taking the time to provide these videos.

I agree with Douglas. Underviewed. Very nice tutorials that has helped me gain a bit of understanding of the Celtic design process. Please add Islamic and Golden Sections. Honestly. You are a very good teacher! I am a 61 year old student. Never too late!

I agree. Mr.Nicholls reminds me of my high school Math teacher who had the ability to explain complex concepts in such basic and simple terms which one could grasp easily.

Haven't watched this since you put it up. Lovely! Such wonderful creativity, David. I'm so inspired to start my drawings again! Thank you!

Your Celtic work is just brilliant! You do make it look so easy and it's nice to learn these aside from more traditional geometric constructs. I have always loved Celtic work and thank you for helping me to be able to draw it. Your tutorials are wonderful!

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time watching all 21 videos and trying my hand at each. Having looked at several other tutorials on Celtic knots, I can say that by far you are easiest to understand. Your peaceful voice is so comforting and I would just love to reach out and hug you! I have one question, though: how in the world do you prevent pencil smudges?!

Aline Beauvais The only book I have is Celtic Art by George Baine. It's a very good source book but don't take any notice of his construction methods as they are certainly not the way these designs were originally constructed. The methods I'm showing are developed from unfinished sections of original decorated Celtic manuscripts. I'm not aware of any books where this method is used, but that's not to say there isn't one. If there isn't, then there's enough material in my 22 videos to produce one - but I can't be bothered - maybe you can! Thanks for you interest and kind comments, Aline. David ps I am putting up a series on Thai art in a few weeks - stay subscribed.

David: I am new to Celtic drawing and fully agree with those who say you should have many more views, but it remains to be seen if a video with the last comments four years ago will even be noticed by KZread and forwarded to you. I am enjoying the series and learning a lot (not bad for someone I suspect is in your age range) smile!

You are welcome, and I am a happy new subscriber.

What happens when there's a mistake in the "over-under" pattern? Are you sent to prison or do you get a dunce cap to wear for a spell? Do people point at you in the street and laugh under their breath? I've been doing the 6 linked trefoils in a hexagon today. It was my first time doing this and it took me hours to get it right. My drawing is a mess but the weave is correct. And then I noticed that in your boomerang-shaped trefoils one at bottom right is incorrectly woven.
