inkxpired : Teranishi Guitar – Emotional Olive

geometry 101 squares …

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.

I love mathematics and am always in awe of the many ways it is used to concisely describe the physical world around us. That’s where the inspiration for my “Geometry 101” series of ink drawings comes from. Previous entries focused on circles and triangles, and in this episode I conclude the series with a study in squares.

Starting from the original inkxperiment, I applied a graphic art filter that abstracts the drawing a bit, and then used a couple of colour filters to steer the picture towards more greyish tones. For the final result, I rotated by 90° counter-clockwise. For some unknown reason, the picture looks stronger that way (my opinion).
