3D Triangle - Unexpected Second Go At It (mathless)

3D Triangle with Step-Out



Triangle with printemps

For those who have read my previous post, as you know when I attempted this triangle the first time it involved math.  I don’t do math. When I posted the results on Eni Oken’s shading zentangle facebook page, Lesley Wester pointed out this walkthrough video: https://youtu.be/d4dPnNERqzs

Thank you Jonathan Harris !!!

See I’d been following this step-out from wikihow – which works from the inside out.  The video from youtube works from the outside in, requiring no math whatsoever. Which, for me, is a good thing.

So thanks to Lesley and Jonathan, I managed to figure the pattern out.  And I thought, hey, why not step it out for others.

My step-out for 3D triangle

Here’s my step out of the 3D triangle.  This is not my design, I did not create it. But I did draw this step out on how I will be doing it without the dreaded math. Please check out the video, for without it I wouldn’t have been able to make this step out.  Unfortunately you can’t print out a video and bring it to your drawing table, but feel free to print out this walkthrough to do exactly that with it.  All credit goes to Jonathan Harris on Youtube.com.  Here’s that link again.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4dPnNERqzs

P.S. I used a ruler – my hand is not nearly as steady Jonathan’s. I blame caffeine.

Trippy Triangle Tangle

Tippy Triangle

When I started this piece I didn’t realize just how difficult the triangle would be to design. It required math. Math?!? What math?!?  Nobody said there’d be math! Hurmph.

In the end I suppose it was worth it.  I love the trippiness factor of this piece. There’s nothing quite as satisfying as a little op-art project.  The bunzos don’t quite pop out of the triangle as much as I was hoping they would, but c’est la vie.

And even more impressive, I remembered to take before pics! GO ME!

Here is the finished triangle, before the bunzo or shading was added. (The part that required all of that dangnabbit math. Humph.

This is the triangle with the bunzo before shading:

And the final piece, all shaded and ready to pop!
