A dodecahedron is a 12-sided polyhedron, i.e. a 3-D object with 12 faces.
Each face is a pentagon (though mine are a bit skewed because of the
perspective).
A dodecagon is a 12-sided polygon, i.e. a flat shape with 12 edges.

A dodecahedron seen from the side would look the same as one seen from any
direction. I assume you meant to draw a dodecagon - though from the side you
can't tell that it wasn't a triangle, a fish or a beautiful ascii-art version
of the Mona Lisa.

If it was, I'd like to congratulate you on the excellently drawn smile.
