We draw a 2D projection of the 3d dodecahedron using the projection grid in the flower of life.

Transcript

Now that we have the lines of projection sketched in in the dotted line type, I'd like to sketch in the dodecahedron. And for that, I'll use a black color with a thick line type. And I'll start by drawing a line from the center of the entire pattern up to this intersection point above. And then I'm going to zoom in there and draw in this segment. And then this one, now I made a mistake, I have to go right from here to there so that the line goes from the projection grid to the other intersection on the projection grid. And I'm going to mirror that on the other side.

And then I'm going to connect these points like this and that creates a pentagon in perspective. Now I'm going to draw in the next pentagonal face, which starts in the upper left and goes over here. And then it's going to continue on. And this is hard, sometimes hard to visualize, but it's going to continue on over here. And then it will continue back into the center. Now, I think I missed one, just slightly there.

You see how these points don't connect, I need to erase this line that point and re sketch it in like that. I want to do the same thing on the other side. So I can use what I've already drawn as a guide. So I'm mirroring this over in my mind and drawing this over like that. That makes sense. And then again, like that, and then to the core.

Now we have the top of the dodecahedron complete. Now for the bottom part. Okay, now the bottom part is going to start here and go over to that point. So I'm going to draw a line connecting those dots. And then I'm going to draw a lines going up like that. And then I'm going to draw a focus on the left side.

I'll draw a line in like that. And then similarly above, like that, and then I can connect these dots and then do the same thing on the other side. I'll connect these dots and then these and again, here And I think we have it now. There's a dodecahedron inside the flower of life
