Thank you for this fantastic demonstration. I have long been enamored with how a drawing can transform with every stroke. I love to draw but fail to compare to your skill.
This is soooo good!!! Informative and appeals to a variety of learning styles! Very well done, any student would be fortunate to have you as a teacher!
Dear Sir, this video is amazing, thank you for such a wonderful lesson. I was wondering if perhaps you could consider talking and explaining how historically architects have used the golden ratio to proportion their buildings.
There is a whole other level which is not mentioned or even understood. The acanthus flower is a medicinal plant, still in use in Ayurvedic medicine. If the atomic structure of the active chemical ingredient of the acanthus is examined we find a key molecular combination called the hexapentakis, or the pentagon combined with the hexagon, as in the bent pyramid in Egypt. Think of a typical car, a type of car and the archetype of a car. The stone carving of the acanthus leaf is an ‘archetype’ Archetypes are alive as they contain the energetic signature of, in this case, the healing property of the acanthus leaf. The hexagon and pentagon correspond with notes c# and f#, a fifth in music. Architecture is not so much frozen music as is often quoted but at the subtle energy level, the atomic level, the buildings are playing music.
the heights shown here seem arbitrary and not related to real buildings. also, the design of roman buildings with superposed dictates the scales, not the orders used.
The order height is a function of their diameter so you can keep the height the same and adjust the diameter I suppose but I don't think they'll look aesthetic
many doric columns have no base, a plainer capital and can also be shorter so they appear quite squat and heavy. search 'doric temple'. tuscan and composite are roman, so should both be at the end. also tuscan generally follows the proportions of ionic, not sure why it's shown as being so short.
Beautiful drawings but some of your proportions aren’t quite right for example the top of the Tuscan shaft should be 5/6th the diameter of the first third
This is wrong. Although beautiful it misses many characteristics of the orders an make terrible mistakes in the enatblatures. Also some proportions are not well defined
This is precisely what I was looking for. Mature, skillful, clear, and focused instruction. Many thanks!
Pure joy! 😍
Beautifully drawn and beautifully filmed.
Nice work George! Mesmerising to watch.
Thank you for this fantastic demonstration. I have long been enamored with how a drawing can transform with every stroke. I love to draw but fail to compare to your skill.
Amazing. Beauty that flows from your pencil and mind.
There is no one set of the five orders. There are variations in height and detail. However this drawing was excellent.
This is wonderful. Very interesting indeed and nicely filmed also.

What a skillset , is there such thing for Egyptian columns ?
* gasp * the flutes! how could you forget the flutes?
Very impressed with your knowledge. The artwork is also great. Thank you, Mike P

Very much agree with the last part.
Can you recommend any good books on classical architecture that has some practical exercises in them? Thanks
The American vignola part 1 &2
Hi! Great video 👍🏻What mechanical pencil are you using?
GREAT!!!
For the Tuscan order, does the column tapper at the top to lower the center of gravity making it easier to lift the column up into place?
Beautiful and fun!Thank you!
Now do the Barratt homes order...
Excellent presentation!
Excellent execution.
Mesmerizing
all good to know! thank you
thanks for making this video :)
thank you so much
Дякую за цікаве відео.
He draws it like it wasn't nothing
The steadyness of his hand is impressive, he can draw an almost perfect line without a ruler.
If the orders are all different heights, does that mean the storeys of a building with superimposed orders are different heights?
the heights shown here seem arbitrary and not related to real buildings. also, the design of roman buildings with superposed dictates the scales, not the orders used.

I've discovered that I have always been pronouncing "entasis" wrong.
Yes
What is not mentioned is the width of the capital.
Can you sketch a private home exterior for me?
what Is the top of the column ratio ? Is it 1/2 D?
its 5/6 D usually
@@karlw1412 And the height of the capital is usually 7/6 D.
what is the name of your pen ?
Does doric column has a base . I'm confused ☹️☹️
many doric columns have no base, a plainer capital and can also be shorter so they appear quite squat and heavy. search 'doric temple'. tuscan and composite are roman, so should both be at the end. also tuscan generally follows the proportions of ionic, not sure why it's shown as being so short.
Thank you for helping 😊
The Doric Column had no base....issuing forth solid strength, masculine boldness and permanence ....a no nonsense approach to the eye !
Ok how about you draw each the columns side by side and make them of equal height so someone can underatand the proportions of each order.
Corinthian is THE BEST !!!!!!!
I thought the point was to draw it with a compass?
Beautiful drawings but some of your proportions aren’t quite right for example the top of the Tuscan shaft should be 5/6th the diameter of the first third
