17 Polya illustrations

Polya's 17 plane filling illustrations

In 1924 George Polya recorded 17 illustrations in a journal article that would describe each symmetry group. I copied them down and I hope to use these for my own purposes sometime in the future.

I find these fascinating because I've enjoyed this type of organization all my life but I've never been able to. my favorite is D3°, the arrangement colored purple green and orange on the fourth page, It feels very regal. Like I would most see it in a  palace or a cathedral.

theoretically, each of these could continue forever. In addition to that, you could create your own repeating illustrations by following certain rules including: 1) The new figure must have the exactly same area equal to the original  shape and 2) Its outline must be shaped so that when it cuts through one of the corners or midpoints of a shape, a rotation of 180° about that point would turn it into an adjacent copy of itself.

In order to fulfill this requirement, portions of the boundary of such a figure must have a center of symmetry, such as that found in the letters S, N, or Z.

Yogi bear

So here are a few of my drawings. This first one being partly my attempt at perspective, but all of them are a result of studies done from Yogi Bear comic panels. The one above is pretty bad but I like it because it was a little bit tough.


In each of these I got shapes from the yogi bear pictures I studied. mostly rocks and trees and the like.


This is the one I'm most proud of but this was made a while back and I'm have trouble learning to organize my drawings. It's very unsatisfying to have happen.

Below are all the pictures I studied from:

Sorry, today is kind of a downer but I'll get better.

Getting back into the swing

So I've been getting a LOT of messages to come back, but I hadn't realized I was missing from anywhere! But maybe just my blog... but hay! You're getting some out of it though! I've learned some things and I'm about to share it with YOU.

First, I'll start you off with a few toys, and explain the purpose behind this exercise.

& Pop-????

I'm not going to post the actual pictures I drew of these three because it would get too tedious to do it, but I will post some cool stuff I learned about them. These exercise is basically made to teach you how certain shapes look in 3D and I realize that I don't think I used any of the actual toy shapes yet but I did try to apply 3d principles to some of my inattentive doodles.

These aren't the only pictures I've used the idea in, but these are just were it's most prominent. I've actually been unknowingly doing this for a while now and some of they are a little bit old.

This is actually from around the start of summer, and I noticed a stylish quirk I've had first in this picture. After that I just started tossing it around but I don't think I'll draw it on men if it turns out too feminine.

Some of my now favorite made up people! I can actually imagine them speaking!

This here is the last one because in addition to being one of the first where I tried to draw in 3D, I also included some trees and rocks that I learned from Yogi bear. I'll post the rest of him tomorrow though. Welp, that's all! I'll be posting these to DA through out the week, and I plan to make a few more blog posts in the upcoming days and weeks. Just crossing my fingers in hopes that I'll be able to keep up.

Later guys!

My drawings! Ho Ho HO!

I love This drawing! A lot of others think it's cool too! and I hope that I can make more like this too!

I've had a lot of stuff going on because of school.

This Blog is no fun because I'm not posting as much as I would like too.

Well I should hope I can change that soon.

I'd like to post at least one drawing a day, but I probably can't cause of my garbage laptop.

But I'll give you a personal drawing tomorrow at least!
