It's Halloween! How could I resist a pumpkin for today's #inkyDays drawing?
And that's a wrap for this month of drawing, mostly from Math inspirations. All of this month's drawings and more are now posted for my supporters on Patreon and Ko-fi: https://www.patreon.com/posts/140222503

Today's Mathtober prompt is "Minor". For this one, I went with the vernacular meaning, and added some baby penguins with a 'grown up' penguin for today's #inkyDays drawing.

Today's Mathtober prompt is "Hexyl", and I found some pages on it over on Wolfram's math info site: https://mathworld.wolfram.com/HexylCircle.html
I decided to go with an abstraction and playing with a Chemistry inspired pattern.
Here's an in-progress shot.

Today's Mathtober prompt is "Recursion". Right away, sorting trees came to mind, and I decided to go with roots instead of branches in terms of a tree.
Here's an in-progress shot. Yes, I filled in the 'tree' recursively while drawing it by hand. I paused while drawing, and took a few in-progress shots.

#mathober day 28: #recursion
"More Bubbles": https://openprocessing.org/sketch/2696244
Okay, to be honest, this is an older sketch and I forgot if there even is a recursion in the code and if no one looks into the code, no one will find out. Most likely there is not.
I'm actually afraid of using recursions since I feel unsure of properly managing the termination conditions – BUT every recursion can be replaced by a loop and this would be my first choice anyway.
Today's Mathtober prompt is "bidiminished". The diagram at the bottom of this wikipedia page served as my inspiration for today's #inkyDays drawing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyrate_bidiminished_rhombicosidodecahedron
Yeah, I know it's a stretch, but it inspired me to draw dancing starfish. Here's an in-progress shot.
The finished drawing is on this months posts for my supporters on Patreon and Ko-fi: https://www.patreon.com/posts/140222503

Today's Mathtober prompt is "Amalgamation", so I decided to play with nested inclusions for today's #inkyDays drawing.
Here's an in-progress shot. The finished drawing is now posted for my supporters on Patreon and Ko-fi: https://www.patreon.com/posts/140222503

Playing with yesterday's pattern again, for today's #inkyDays drawing.

Today's Mathtober prompt is "Jacobian". Looking around for info on what this could possibly mean in Mathematics, I came across this wikipedia page(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobi_elliptic_functions).
The patterns, partway down the page, really appealed to me so I decided to play with them for today's #inkyDays drawing.

Extends those that are rational and less feeling, with a catch (6,5)

Today's Mathtober prompt is "Odious". Which means something completely different in Mathematics than it does in general. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odious_number
I've drawing the ants in orange ink, in reference to the odious orange vandal.

Today's Mathtober prompt is "Sawtooth", so I let the ants chart the function in today's #inkyDays drawing.

Yes, for #Mathtober, I look up what the prompts mean. Yes, most of my work (even artwork) is mathematical. But Mathematics is a huge field with lots of obscure-specific-terminology that means something else in many other settings.
So, I look up the terms in the prompt list, and think about how I can make an art-sketch from it.
It's fun! For me.
It's exciting to push my brain out of my usual field, and remember past lessons and learn new ones. And abstract them. It's all math and art!
