Once you’re done, just erase the pencil guidelines to reveal our impossible hexagon. Now let’s repeat this process for the other four corners. Once again, follow this road down until you get to the far edge of the small hexagon. So let’s just go with this one.įollow this road down until you reach the far edge of the small hexagon.

The best way to think about this is to imagine that you are trying to get from the large hexagon to the small hexagon, using these roads.įor the first one, it doesn’t matter which one you pick. There’s a lot of lines here so it can get a bit confusing. Now let’s ink in the rest of the drawing. Next, let’s ink in the large and small hexagon, because we know for sure these are the lines we want to keep. Just to make it interesting, I’ll make the spacing a bit bigger this time, so I’ll use the width of my ruler to measure things out. Now let’s repeat the process and draw yet another hexagon inside this one. To do this, simply draw all the sides of the big hexagon again, except move them inward so that they form a new hexagon.īe sure to keep the spacing between the lines uniform through out. Next, let’s draw a smaller hexagon inside this one. Now just connect these points to form the shape. These intersections are the 4 remaining points of our hexagon. Then pivot off one of the points and mark the two intersection between the compass and the circle. Now let’s find the other 4 points. Set your compass to the same width as the radius of the circle. Mark the two points of contact between the line and the circle. To find the first two points, simply draw a horizontal line through the center dot to the circle. The six points of our hexagon will evenly spaced along this circle. Use a compass to draw a circle around this dot. This will be the center of your impossible hexagon. The first step to drawing an impossible hexagon is to draw a regular hexagon. Here’s a very easy way to draw a perfect hexagon.
