Another Square, Man

You know the drill...

3 versions of each platonic solid...

so, here's the last of the cubes - showing off its framework.

Cube Net, As Is - NOT

Cube Net (before), graphite pencils, 6x9 in., Otto

Apparently there are only 3 possible nets for a cube.  

Who knew?  

This is the second type I've drawn...

...and I've done so in a less neat-and-tidy way.

Does it make a difference? ...in any aesthetic sort of way?

I think it might have felt more interesting or freeing to draw...
we'll see....

And here we do see...I was just being lazy before.


This looks so much better, and felt so much more satisfying doing it.  

After taking a break and doing some reading, I went back in the studio and went over it all for another hour until it felt right and finished.

ahh

A Cube, a Box, a Hexahedron

Cube Form, graphite pencils, 6x9 in., Otto

...a regular hexahedron, that is. 



- I am just learning so much about math and science these days -






And there's more to come...

Next Up: Platonic Solids

Icosahedron, graphite pencils, 9x6 in., Otto

Yes, I've been playing around with the following 5 polyhedra, but as unfolded flat images, rather than solid geometrical shapes...

Why you might ask?  Well, that's just what interests me...the diagram aspect of it.  The step-by-step procedure for creating them...and of course, figuring out how to apply my light scale sequence to it.  

Which is something I've been experimenting with in each polyhedron...
