Hello, fellow students!
Technical name for these patterns is “curves of pursuit.” The straight lines are tangent to the curve of pursuit that spirals inward.
thanks for telling me.
Not a whole thoracic surgeon and consultant gynaecologist! Haha!
And now you've got 30k subscribers!!!
its nice but we had to do it in school, and i dont like school soo...
lol!!
Trump Derangement Syndrome is widespread. The extent of its reach is profound. This is an indication of the vast numbers of people who are being fooled, hoodwinked on a daily basis by the govt/corporate/media cabal and the woke globalist establishment WHO are some of the dumbest people on earth despite some having what you might call an education. It goes to show that propaganda works.
Simply beautiful🎉
thanks Dileep!
ARE YOU STILL ALIVE DAVID ?
yes I am,but I can no longer make videos due to Parkinsons disease. Thanks for your interest.
@@davidnicholls100 That's a shame that I'm sorry to hear about. You still have the best no-nonsense calligraphy videos on youtube. Best of luck in your recovery!
thanks for saying so! good luck with your calligraphy!
draw a slash thru the zer0 to differentiate from a capital O
can you show a full manuscript including italics plus foundational to show the difference
need more videos
Oh, that 2:28 spider is just clever
😀
make new videos please from America
I can't believe I'm seeing this one for the first time, love it ! 👍
Thanks Patrick!
Thanks, that helps my design❤
😍
AMERICAN and if not would pay to be so !! Now to your drawing, if you could just draw and shut the fck up ... 😮 you might just make enough to buy some fcking pencils... 😢 Gluck with that...
Thanks!
Well, thanks to you I have yet again taught a 7th and 8th grade art class how to make the Celtic knots and crosses. They loved it! Even the kids who struggled with other art projects were successful with this! When challenged, people rise to the occasion (with a little help from you!). Thanks for sharing these great videos on Celtic design.
Thanks foryour kind comment, Pam! Your kids will love this too. ua-cam.com/video/9OVlbz2EH88/v-deo.html Let me know how they respond. Also see Cetic Design 18 - 22 kind regards, David x
Thank you!
you're welcome, Marta xx🥰
I always use acrylic inks. From different brands. Waterproof, archival safe, documentproof, lightfast, none of them clogg up my dip pens. I like using colour as well, depending on the project. They do clogg up fountain pens. Just clean your dip pens thoroughly. I use some dishwashing soap and a toothbrush. Let them dry thoroughly before storage. I find the non waterproof black ink by w&n watery. I avoid inks containig shellac because they are not vegan friendly.
Xcellent guide & thank you for sharing 🙌
you're welcome!
Thank you 🎉❤❤❤❤
youre welcome! xxx 💗💗💗💗💗
By the way - now watching your 3rd video - I have no problem watching videos of an hour or more - I have followed a watercolor artist for years whose videos are one to two hours long - so I do not think you need to limit yourself to five minutes! (but of course you made these long ago so I guess that my advice is moot...) At any rate for whatever you are doing currently, if still providing instruction, please don't hesitate to lengthen videos to your heart's content!
Well, I watched the "redone" version of your first video, then found the cache of all 21 and wanted to start at the beginning so watched this one too - both are fine, in my opinion, and now I look forward to watching (and trying) every one of them, thanks so much for providing such good instructions and examples! I am just beginning to try this new (old) craft! Thanks again!
thanks lydia, I appreciate your comments xx
Thank you once again. I’ve been practicing your technique and am getting hooked on drawing Celtic designs.
well done Nancy. Keep up the good work!
Great video thank you! But Did anyone else see the spider @ 1:12/6:14?
The drugs and coffee comment 😂😂
lol!!!!
This one popped up as a recommendation and I'm so pleased it did. Definitely givong this a go and I'm looking forward to watching more of your video's. Thank u for sharing.👍
glad you liked it, Pat!!
❤❤
Vielen lieben Dank für diesen Tip ich versuche Ewigkeiten das Prinzip zu verstehen . Thank you
Oh my gosh! I arrived at the party so late!!! Are there any more treats coming? I know it’s been ages but this has been wonderful! ❤
No more I'm afraid - i'm old and have Parkinson's. Try this one. It's as relevent now as it was when I first made it. Thanks, Franciet xxxx ua-cam.com/video/dqHft72DFk4/v-deo.htmlua-cam.com/video/dqHft72DFk4/v-deo.html
Thank you
youre welcome!
I binged watched your series a few years ago n thought I couldn’t create another Celtic design - but guess what? I happily binged again, and drew several designed including Celtic cross. I think I get it now. I’ll be practicing, especially the breaks.
Bravo, sir! From Texas, USA.
thanks farmwife! lol!!!
Thank you, this is such a great tutorial.
thanks for saying so, julie xxx
I knew about the Lindesfahrne Gospels but not the book of Kells! They are so underrated it is actually disappointing, they are magnificent works of art
Hi David, I'm Xavienne, I enjoyed your tutorial. I received an idea that my artist grandson could paint this design on my plain boots. Thank you.
It was really interesting, however the spider kept freaking me out!! Ergh
lol. thanks Sue x
Great video! “A little wobbly, but never mind.” 😂 I’m so glad these are still available after 10 years! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks, blue!
0:10 gentlemen of a certain persuasion!! …Not all gay men are effeminate…not all women are feminine airheads- don’t stereotype. Would you like me to say “hetero men are all the same…dominating misogynists” …I think not.
resounding
thanks, Mooney!
❤💗🌹🌹🌼🏵️❤️🧡💓🙏🏻❤️🥰🥰💙💜💖💙🥰🥰❗🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Your brief but clear videos are still great today. Thank you and your faerie!
thanks chris!
Thank you so much david for this knowledge!
your welcome!
I regularly write my g’s like that. It’s very therapeutic, if I’m being honest. Thank you for the video regardless. Also, very cute spider =)
I know these are 11 yrs old but omg Im in oar of your work. I have seen a lot of videos like this but none as informative as these. I know you have not replied to some recent comments but just wanted to say thank you and yes i will be putting each video on repeat till i become a fraction or your expertise once again thank you xx
Very cool. Great instructions. Great job.
Thanks Adrian!
You're straight to the point & easy to understand. I subscribed. Thanks.
11 Years and you are still getting new subscribers. Thank you for sharing your immense knowledge, Sir
thanks for your kind comment, Craig - I appreciate it!
I am loving your videos from 11 years ago good sir, and I hope you're still at it. Perfect teaching style for a beginner like me!
