I love experimenting with pen/ink/paper and have added another layer as part of the hobby. I’m exploring computational art, inspired by the ink drawings I do during ink reviews. Another fun offshoot of the hobby… and all that starting with a few drops of dye-coloured water on paper.
Inspiration for the original inkxperiment comes from the field of mathematics. I’m currently reading a book on the history of this pillar of science. Its foundations rise from early efforts on discovering the rules of geometry: lines, circles, triangles, … Fascinating stuff! For this drawing, I decided to focus on circles.
I first applied a “comic art” filter, which accentuates lines and added a bit of grit to the drawing. I then used a filter to move the colour to a bluer hue. For the final picture, I did a square cut-out, and brightened the result a bit. I like the end-result which perfectly fits the circle geometry theme.
