  • Here is how you draw a Dodecahedron. It is one of the 5 platonic solids. The ancients described the platonic solids as the perfect 3 Dimensional forms. They are said to form the foundation of all the physical world. The others being the Tetrahedron, Cube, Octahedron, Icosahedron.

    hi there, i am feeling good again. i did not see this stuff since the 70's when i was in high school in metallic structures, i used to enjoy all the drawing class all the technical drawing.
    i got lost many years i feel i want to re-learn this i have been watching your drawings and it feels the pleasure again… thanks for doing this.

    can't wait for my new compass to arrive, the 550 02, i believe... the micro-adjustment wheel really gets me excited!!
    my ruler was delivered in 2 days, stainless/cork-backed/made in china with sticker on cork weeee... just leave the sticker there, trust me. 18x18 drawing board with clips, hand-hole and rubberband to hold paper... electric eraser ftw.... I should look for a really good protractor, but, knowing how to draw anything with just a compass and a straight edge is THE SHIT.
    Why??
    Because with a compass and straight-edge a person can pretty much build literally anything. It's as useful a skill as knowing how to start a fire.

    some tips:
    Most of the circles are not needed.
    You just can use the center-circle to create theese straight lines in 60° angles and then take a length you like (for sample 4cm) and put it twice as points on each of the six direction-lines.
    Theese points are all you need for the following steps (after 2:05) in the video.
    Or you can draw a very big circle (for sample 16 cm Ø) and then divide the distance from the center-point to the outline by two on each of the six directions.
    So you can use theese points and the intersections on the cricle´s outline for the following steps.
    With both of my sample values the finished drawing will be 8 cm high (after erasing all surrounding guide-lines).

      it's a demonstration of constructing a platonic solid from metatron's cube, a shape that encompasses all the platonic solids. even though all of the geometric constructions are not necessary for the dodecahedron, the original shape is meant to contain all the platonic solids

  • @alexanderallegra432

    Using multiple circles is ok but too much work. I make one large circle, then make a hexagon with that circle. Then I connect each points making a merkaba, and then line connecting each point on the merkaba. These lines dividing the merkaba in half intersect at the smaller hexagon inside the merkaba perfectly in half. Connect all outer points on the outer circle to the halfway point of each side of the inner hexagon. And the final step to get a dodecahedron is to connect the small outer edges of the docecahedron to form a decahedron.

    I see a couple of comments that the angles are not proportionally correct. Does any one know whether this was a problem for the ancients, or whether the ideal of a form, as an expression of sacred geometry, took precedence over the form as it appears in this world? In other words, was drawing the form in this way a method of meditation on the perfect form?

    • @christianackley7147

    I want to bring to everyone's attention that I do not think the perceived perspective is correct; like Jim has mentioned. I understand that this drawing is meant to make it easier to draw a perspective from regular shapes. Obviously this has the appearance of being a perspective made from an isometric layout of spheres and triangles, but this is not a true, natural perspective.
    This natural perspective contains distortions which means the angles are not correct. The pentagons do not line up with inner pentagons. If this were a true perspective of a dodecahedron, a series of inverted stars inside those pentagons at angles would have the same center. Think of it as a hand drawing that doesn't quite line up; even in software.
    I am actually going to draw the shape out in some 3D cad software and see if I can't constrain the angles to the point of having them line up properly so the resulting pentagons have center points in common with their inner inverse stars. I know that sounds obnoxious, but that's why I love tinkering with drawing software. It would surely be easier to make a 3D solid and just render that out, but what's the fun of that?
    Drawing representations of 3D objects in 2D, accurately, is a real challenge.

    • @traviscrisp7136
      @traviscrisp7136 8 років тому +2

      You are correct. People usually draw both the dodecahedron and icosahedron incorrectly. it all came from Drunvalo's "Metatron's Cube", which is an innacurrate teaching. Iv'e spent the past year figuring out how to accurately draw all 5 platonic solids from each perspective of face edge and vertex using only straight edge and compass technique. Furthermore, I have determined how to place them inside of their circumsphere. This is not as simple as drawing a circle around the perspective so that it appears to touch the vertices, as most of the solids won't appear to touch the widest cross section of the sphere from the given perspective. I'm about a month or two away from publishing an e book. I'll send you a free copy when it's complete.
