How to Draw an Impossible Endless Vortex

Tools I use: zkorvin.com/tools
Like my art? Go to zkorvin.com
Want to learn from me? Go to geometerscircle.com
The impossible endless vortex is made up of 49 circles. I found it while drawing a torus like shape (four overlapping Seed of Life patterns). This is a full walkthrough of how to draw it.

[@ashesbro]

Finally found my flow again with art and decided to return to your channel. I have since created 3 pieces thanks to your amazing tutorials! Your videos make it feel like anything is possible, and you help me gain a new understanding on sacred geometry and how everything connects. So grateful for you!

[@susiehurwitz7991]

This was a real challenge, but thanks to you being such a good teacher I made it & had so much fun. Your art is amazing Zak.

[@michelletroxell8015]

Thank you for sharing this! Thanks to sacred geometry and videos you’re putting out, I learned that I CAN draw! Drawing for me now is part of my morning meditative practice and I’m feeling more aligned and centered. It’s incredible the creativity this opens up that I never would believe except through feeling it. ❤️☮️🌞

[@paintingwithvickifothering9437]

I loved watching this come to life Zak!!

[@sulin6234]

Wow! This took a couple of attempts to get the pattern. Thanks man I just started getting back into art and following your vids, awesome thanks for sharing. Blessings!

[@jessemkahn]

That was awesome. Great pacing and clarity in your instruction.

[@angem0108]

Wow... Your tutorials are pure inspiration, thanks for sharing ❤️

[@nunyobidness2358]

[@cogybear]

Great to have a geometry tutorial with words for once- well done sir!

[@kathleenhancock6425]

Brilliant, thank you. Plucking up the nerve to have a go!!!

[@ermabowman7052]

Enjoying the leminscate base to this piece. It gives it a sense of infinite looping movement to my senses.

[@levla2224]

Man this is pure brilliance! From one artist to another thankyou 😁 🙏💚🕉️💚🙏

[@LitHouseTieDye]

Finally! Success! Thanks for the encouragement. I'm learning late in life. (49) I started drawing exactly 104 days ago. I practice daily. I'm learning mostly from KZbin. I do many different kinds of drawings, but I've always been interested in sacred geometry. I'm really enjoying your channel. I have several more waiting in my watch later. Thanks so much. This wasn't just a geometry trip, it's been a full adventure. I look forward to my next adventure with you. :)

[@ZKorvin]

That's amazing! Good on ya for sticking with it.

Wow! You make it look so easy! i need to upgrade my school compass, as it keeps slipping . Took a rainy afternoon and i finished it, not 100% perfect, but am really pleased with it, thank you for sharing.

[@ZKorvin]

Thank you! Yeah it's worth investing in a good locking compass, I've got a link to the one I use in the description. Glad you found this useful.

Looks wonderful for a back draw for a oracle deck, im gonna save this for my plans of a xilography tarot deck

[@Rene_Voortwist]

This must be nervewrecking. One mistake and you have to start over. And it looks really easy to make a mistake. 😊 The result looks really cool!

[@ZKorvin]

It’s a real test of patience!

[@ashesbro]

The first time I made mistakes but I'm on my second time now and have gained more understanding how it all flows. Doing pretty good so far, just taking a break in the comments section :) actually I started over a couple of times with the beginning, the seed of life, but that's only because I wasn't using my compass properly. That makes all the difference :)

[@yaminivashista2573]

Finally i have drawn it. Now i can say i am pro in this. I made this endless vortex with 16 and 32 segments but it took me 3 days and 4 attempts. Good thing i learned and sevral new things with it.

[@ZKorvin]

Happy to hear that! 👏

[@LongBongSilverOG]

What black marker you using mate?

[@lordperkele3778]

7: 35 the torus is very much a 3d shape. Anything ring-shaped is either a full or partial torus, depending on whether the cross section of the ring is circle or not. Your drawing is indeed 2d, since it lacks the third dimension, height, but you could think that your shape is a "shadow" of a 3d one. This is actually one of the reasons we know 4d exists, we can also do in 3d what we do in 2d: we can build things in 3d that are "shadows" of 4d objects, such as the Tesseract or the Klein bottle. Edit: There actually is a thing called "Clifford torus" that is 4d but that is all kinds of bonkers compared to the regular torus.

[@ZKorvin]

Really good explanation, I appreciate that.

[@lordperkele3778]

@@ZKorvin Also I just now remembered that topologically, a coffee mug is a torus. Or anything that has exactly one hole in it. Don't ask me how but it is true.
