Always Plotting Something…

Jan 26, 2025

  • A white card showing a drawing of orange and black lines resembling a facade with two large inset windows in the bottom left corner and a hard shadow across it diagonally, leaning against a white wall with a real shadow crossing it.
  • Detail shot of the plotter drawing, the card is placed on a grey cutting mat, and the black pen is finishing a line to the right of the second window.
  • Top-down view of the completed drawing: a lightly shaded orange square, with lighter and darker shades giving an illusion of depth with two large inset windows in the bottom half of the facade, and a hard diagonal shadow filled more densely with black lines crossing the bottom right corner.

Genuary 23: inspired by brutalism.

Depth and shadows; the program is simple enough (bisect the wall a few times, select a section to put a grid of windows, then draw a diagonal shadow somewhere across it) but surprisingly tricky to find the parameters to make it look somewhat pleasing.

Genuary is a month of creative prompts to encourage experimentation with generative art created with code (and, for me, drawing robots).
