Decided to have a go at Inktober with my plotter!

I'll reply to this thread with each new drawing, and I'm starting a repo with the pics and @openframeworks source code:
https://github.com/andymasteroffish/inktober_2020

Here's day 1, drawn with my #axidraw and a micron!

Next step is to get better at centering the drawing...
Day 2 of #Inktober on my plotter!

Trying out some new paper and pens. Tested the design out on printer paper before committing to the fancy stuff.

Day 3 of #Inktober with the plotter, now featuring ~color~!

Also attached is the black and white test print and a cool error I got with my @openframeworks code that I can't print, but which made for a good screenshot

Day 5 of #Inktober

Everybody gets to do some sine wave shapes on the plotter, right? They're so satisfying!

A few more close ups of this one because I like how the ink clumped up.

Day 8 of #inkotober on the plotter!

I got about 3 hours into a different plot before realizing that I hated it so I simplified it and got this.

Noise patterns look so good on the plotter. It feels like cheating!

My computer's preview for these pics is giving off some good moiré patterns.

Playing with noise fields on the big 18"x12" paper that just about takes up the whole plotter bed.
