Initially I thought ninefold symmetry would be simple because achieving 3- and 6-fold symmetry is fairly simply, but I was wrong. I attempted this several times and I show the challenges in the video, so you know this one isn't as easy as it seems. For this shape, we need to follow the chart provided in the book. I adjusted and readjusted my compass multiple times but the divisions were not equal. Finally, after several attempts I got it. I'm glad I persevered because this turns out to be a stunning design in the end. Of all the designs so far, 7- and 9-fold symmetry are my favorite!
For this lesson, I used the book Drawing Circle Images as inspiration for this series of lessons. I use Distress Inks as my watercolor medium. I like the way these inks dry and the range of colors offered. You can find links to the materials I used in the blog post that accompanies this video.

I love this one! I think I need to purchase this book. I did the 12 fold symmetry circle along with you and water colored it, and I really loved doing it and I love the result. Thank you for sharing all of these!

Wonderful! I'd love to see your work. Can you share on IG? I really love 9-fold as well. And 7-fold :)

Apparently the centriole has 9-fold symmetry, so I figured this would be interesting! The centriole is the thing controls cellular division by making little tubes that fill animal cells! Some other organisms too. Symmetry is fascinating in general though. Thank you for posting.

Wow thank you for the info. I didn’t know that.
