how to draw Filigree

I know this has been out for a long time but maybe this will still get read. Metal engravers use a ton of filagree design in their work. I have always had a difficult time with this aspect of my design work. I'm 59years old. Only started 3years ago after my beautiful wife of 30 years died. I have bought and watched every available DVD out there and this lesson (for free no less ) had the ahh haa moment for me . For some reason it hit a chord and lm drawing like crazy now. Thanks. Keep up the great work. OPA'S ENGRAVING STUDIO.

who the fuck would give this a thumbs down???? I've been looking for a practical breakdown of filigree for years and this is the shit.

You, sir, are an angel. Thank you for making & posting art theory/tutorial videos like this - serious props!!

This video was posted around the time I started learning hand engraving, and I watched it around that time. I found it very interesting and well presented. Since then, I have found that hand engravers have refined (or at least preserved) this artform and have developed very good instructional materials which I think would supplement this video very nicely. There are many tattoo artists using designs actually drawn by hand engravers, for/from engraving designs. This is an artform which I have come to appreciate immensely. Thank you for posting this video.

By far the best scrollwork tutorial on youtube.

I've been dying for a tutorial like this. I've messaged all kinds of artists looking for help and tips on getting a good flow with art nouveau type of stuff and you just opened up my world. Thank you!!

I've wanted to do this for so long, I'm turning 40 in a month and its made me really look back and grab some of those little dreams I think I have "all the time in the world" to do. We don't! It goes by so fast. Just do the d*mn thing!! thank you for sharing your skill

loved your breakdown of even how your arm movement is involved and will effect the results. I will definitely be practicing this

prolly one of the best tutorials i ahve seen

As a fantasy style & kingdom hearts style artist, I couldn't thank you enough! Much love, dude!

I really appreciate your tutorials and zen. I'm a watercolor/ink and graphite guy, but your skills are totally transferable. I really hope you have the op to produce more videos. I've watched more of them than I care to admit, and you are a good teacher with a great teaching style. Like a dude said down the stack, you are legit, and your filigree tut is excellent. THANK YOU

By far one of the best tutorials out there ! Thanks!
