Due to several piratings of my drawings, and planning to edit puzzles with others, I was forced to remove several dozen. Believe me that I'm sorry
HUMANS TESSELLATIONS GALLERY
The following drawings are all different of those of my "Figurative Tessellation Method". In this method you will find nearly 120 other tessellations with instructions for their
creation.
The following tessellations have been developed:
- either with a pencil and an eraser and then finalized in Illustrator;
- either with the software "TesselManiac" tesselmaniac.com by Professor Kevin Lee, and then finalized in Illustrator;
- either directly in Illustrator.
New tessellations are added periodically.
Several drawings are presented for each of the 35 types of tessellations studied in my method.
For each tessellation I give three classifications, the first is from my method. The second is the isohedral type defined by
B. Grünbaum and G.C. Shephard. The final classification is the symmetry
(wallpaper) group.
All the drawings are copyright Alain Nicolas, all rights reserved. You must get my permission to reproduce any of my work.
