I was flicking through this book, The World of Ornament, awesome book by the way, and I found this pattern from the 12th century. I decided to have a go at constructing it, it took ages but it was really satisfying, I went into a full zen-like state drawing this one.
From the book: “This mosaic motif was done in marble and is from pavement. The composition is based on the principle of marquetry, hardly a flexible medium, and this probably explains why they have a more classical look.”
Radius of first circle: 2.5cm
Paper size: A3

I’ve become absolutely obsessed with your videos, and was even persuaded to bust out my old precision compass and try my own hand at the Yin Yang, and holy crap was that satisfying. I think you’ve introduced me to a completely new hobby sir. Thank you 🙏😊

[@mariechristineblaise2945]

Réflexion, concentration, le crissement du crayon sur le papier, la complexité du motif, la magie des nombres, chants d’oiseaux et de la mer (?!),… et au final, ce chef-d’œuvre ! Merci Zak ! 🙏

[@user-hn5vs2lx1t]

I agree with the idea to put notes in the video, it is not easy to follow and not easy to see the lines you draw. Love your work and would like so much to be able to do the same. Thank you ❤️

[@gabrielcorona5351]

Amazing work! Thank you for sharing

[@lindyashford7744]

Watching you work made me think again for the umpteenth time how amazing it was that in a time with very few precision instruments people were able to construct designs like these, sometimes in three dimensions and scale them up to huge proportions! Loved watching this,Manx thanks for your info on materials, I could really do with that pen holder attachment thing….. lovely immaculate work, I like the multidimensional aspects of this.

[@Fatemee3DArt]

I agree😊❤

[@Rob-101]

Simply stunning! Love the centre, the ornamental corners & radiating outward stuff?!*-I think I like the black/white with pencil workings the most. Top notch!

[@ZKorvin]

Thanks Rob!

[@isabelgutierrezflores3405]

What a beauty! You are an amazing artist. Watching your videos is mesmerizing.

[@robwoodke6592]

I agree 100%

[@anitashettigar6672]

Beautiful, your precision and patience both amazing 👌👌

[@adidas1439]

I'm still a bit new to this but you make it look easy, thank you for sharing. I just found out that mostly all my straight rulers are not straight plus a dent on the table I was using lol. I was able to complete this pattern after checking everything was good to go. It was very satisfying to know I was having problems because my table wasn't flat enough. Thank you for all do brother.👍👍👍🎇✍🏽

Just watched it 3 times! Now we know how to do it. Brilliant

[@robwoodke6592]

That would make a spectacular chip carving pattern. I’ll have to try it one day.

[@yakuza7400]

It would be easier for the viewers to understand if you could put notes in the video about every step in the process.

[@matthewsylvester2527]

Amazing work! I just ordered the book 😊 What medium did you use for the colour?

[@Vernoflyer]

You are an amazing artist. Trying some myself. You make it look so easy! What do you use underneath your canvas? Cardboard doesn’t seem to work very well for me.

[@ZKorvin]

Thank you! I just use another couple pieces of paper.

[@ramyadamodara1543]

What compass is that? → zkorvin.com/tools

[@marylore1827]

Magnifique réalisation !

[@susannebuchholz785]

I use the "Staedtler Mars Comfort 552".It is a really good compass.Easy to handle and you can draw big circles with it.Every pencil fits because there is a special adapter.I bought it in 2018 and I am very happy with this wonderful compass!

[@ikigaidubworks4191]

what are the measurements for the circles that you draw please?

[@sundaramoorthyp]

Please give detailed dimensions step by step want to try drawing it

You are a legend, I follow you from Iraq 💞🤝

[@rosegil6737]

[@vishwasraj1341]

What makes you measure first circle in rounder (prospector or divider) each time you draw and move hand out of the frame your measurements is so accurate according to that paper size infact in inches also from the beginning you never mentioned your measurements techies 😜 top secret question aahnaaa!!! ✌️ Dam your so good indeed.

[@user-dy4xh8rf6w]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@rickb3078]

I’m just wondering, can this be classified as a mandala or does it have a different name?

[@juanpedromartinez9969]

WoooOWOOOOOWOOOWOOWOOOooW

[@tomato010010]

Wish you would tell the sizes, where to put the compass and where to start, stop a line

[@ZKorvin]

Sounds like you'd enjoy the tutorial of this, you can find it here... circle.gtryp.com/

[@Brandon-wo9nh]

Is the color at the end rendered digitally ? How do you do that edit ?

[@ZKorvin]

Yeah I coloured it in Procreate.

[@tomato010010]

At the start of the video:" This isn't that cool. Maybe I should watch something else." Towards the end of the video:"That looks cool. I should try to draw that too." :D

[@tomato010010]

Tried to draw that. A few minutes in I realized that something isn't right. So I scrapped it and tried again. Wrong somewhere else. Scrapped and tried again. Again wrong somewhere. So I scrapped that too and didn't try again 😠

[@ZKorvin]

At the start of your comment: “I don’t like this person” Towards the end of your comment: “I really like this person”

[@ZKorvin]

Don’t worry about it, this pattern is so much more complicated than it looks, I learnt that the hard way.

[@Vikanuck]

For what it’s worth, the exact same thing happened to me lol. I randomly stumbled across these videos and wanted to try my hand at something I never had before, and at first I whipped out my now 20 year old high school geometry set, with a super shit compass, and it created super shit work. Then I remembered I had a precision compass, which is what he has but super pro, and now I use that and have like 15 new beautiful geometric sketches in my sketchbook that I love to colour in the shapes that emerge from it. If you have patience/focus, it’s a great hobby to explore. If you expect/demand perfection of yourself the first time, every time, than it’s maybe not for you haha 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@tomato010010]

I did try again today, but drawing was still VERY confusing, so I got mad again and just threw the paper away 😠

[@karenevans8668]

For some reason I cannot clearly see the drawing in process, nor do I hear any music. Just the sound of the pencil across the paper. Did anyone else have this experience? I can see the hands and pencil and ruler just fine, but not the pencil lines. Was interested in hearing the 'Epidemic Sound" music.

Did you mostly freestyle this From reference?

[@Will_Plotegher]

Great work bud. Hard day at work done, now chilling watching you draw and listening to Androcell, which i highly recommend (psy dub chillout) 😁 Also what does ASMR Version mean?

[@ZKorvin]

Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, basically sounds that make you feel all tingly 😆 I’ll check out Androcell. Cheers Will! 🙏🏻

Кропотливый труд. Уважаю. Но в чём смысл? Для чего? 7,5 миллиардов человек на шарике, даже если один из 10 тысяч человек занимается тем же, то это сколько деревьев срубили вам на бумагу и карандаши? И для чего? Сколько ресурсов ушло на это? Надеюсь ваш труд оправдал вложеное в него.Я желаю вам всего хорошего, добра и здоровья вам и вашим близким. Ваше время и ваш чудесный навык достойны более созидательных дел, мне кажется.

[@johnlymanfraser]

Your drawings are not clear enough to see unfortunately so all your construction lines are invisible so it's not worth watching unfortunately
