How to draw - geometry - full tutorial - basic construction of an extended 12-fold rosette

Рет қаралды 344,564

9 жыл бұрын

Here's a step-by-step guide to creating a 12-fold rosette pattern based on a hexagon grid that includes some extended design elements beyond the rosette itself. I learnt this from Eric Broug's wonderful book, 'Islamic Geometric Design' - it's a wealth of knowledge for anyone interested in Islamic art and is something I refer to very often when working in this form.
Check out my other tutorial here for how I add detail and ornamentation to this.
READING LIST: I can't emphasise enough how rich in information the below resources are - they're all available to buy online from good book sellers:
'Islamic Geometric Design'
Eric Broug
'Islamic Design: A Genius for Geometry'
Daud Sutton
'Arabic Geometrical Pattern & Design'
J. Bourgoin
'Islamic Designs'
Eva Wilson
'Ruler and Compass: Practical Geometric Constructions'

Outstanding work! Just getting back into geometric design after 13 years. I have a degree in technical illustration but loving the freedom of geometric design at the moment.

The first lighter outline with all the lines isn't the problem for me. If I focus on the shapes of the stars pn the inner ring it gave me a point of reference. If I was ever going over those star shapes I was doing it wrong. As soon as I realized that the stars are what mattered it made everything fall into place for me. Beautiful design!!!

Hey man, do you have any idea of how to generalize this procedure to n-sided shapes? I have failed 24- , 15-, and 30-fold rosettes but I have managed a crude 10-fold one. Do you think on the "nested squares" step, I should keep at squares/pentagons or use higher-order shapes?

@curame1925 7 жыл бұрын

Boa These designs can be found everywhere in the Arab world, not just in Morocco. And this art started during the Islamic golden age, so it is definitely part of Islamic culture. That's why it's called Islamic geometric design. :)

I always eyed and tried to make them but failed untill I came across ur tutorials. So u must be knowing how thankfull I should be to u. I happened to display my art that is Arabic calligraphy and the secret geometry at a local Library (no sold thou). Here is the blog where I have posted it. Kindly have a look and defnetly comment. I would love to know whats ur openion on the combination of ur tutorials mandalas and Arabic calligraphy. Thank you

Step number 5 is very clear, except you never tell us how long the line should be and the the cm to set the compass on to make the circle ... I don't see how this is a tutorial ...

@LexWilson 5 жыл бұрын

It doesn't matter. In fact, I encourage you to try this using different dimensions for the initial circle. The horizontal line simply needs to be longer than the diameter of the circle you choose.
