More Ellipses

Various Robot Drawer Sketches

The colors are taken from a picture of a geode.

These images are the result of repeated trig and other functions over the complex plane.

Lines Between Two Squares

These were drawn with a start and an ending point around a circle with 2 control points also moving around the circle in different patterns to create a set of Bézier curves.

Dragon level 14 nearest neighbor, and two sketches of continuous ellipses on a "rotating" sheet of paper.

More Ellipses and a set of Flowsnakes

Lots of ellipses. Each of these is based on a simulation of an arm drawing ellipses on a rotating sheet of paper.

I was trying to do something else, but ended up with these happy accidents.

The bottom image is on paper, 64 by 64 seeds. 

Here’s my son and Reggie Dunlop (Paul Newman from Slap Shot) represented by sine curves. Here’s some code if you’d like to make one of these images yourself! 

Here’s a depth map f(z)=0.001*(z^8 + 308 z^4 - 5184) where the peaks are the roots, ±2, ±2i, and ±3 ±3i. Can you spot those 8 roots on the 3d model or the following pictures? The white version is the negative of the depth map. There are also some 2d renders of this function, and one #plottertwitter version on black paper.

Here’s the desmos code.

I was inspired by @paulrickards and used processing to make some Perlin noise 4 color hatch art. More of Paul’s work: https://twitter.com/paulrickards/status/998690767982952449?s=21 …

Here’s the processing, and desmos sketches. I had one line of text on the original pdf, and it has a typo. Bad Dan.
