Copy of How to draw - geometry - full tutorial - basic construction of an extended 12-fold rosette

Here's a step-by-step guide to creating a 12-fold rosette pattern based on a hexagon grid that includes some extended design elements beyond the rosette itself. I learnt this from Eric Broug's wonderful book, 'Islamic Geometric Design' - it's a wealth of knowledge for anyone interested in Islamic art and is something I refer to very often when working in this form.
Check out my other tutorial here for how I add detail and ornamentation to this.

MY TWO CENTS!! Do not attempt this drawing with a starting radius of less then 4" if it's your first time... just....trust me...
