Quantised spirograph

Interesting patterns emerge from reducing the angular resolution of a spirograph simulation. Here are 12 versions all with the same parameters (radius/period combination) with the only change between them being how many time steps the overall period was divided into.

Pen: Gelly Roll 08, white
Paper: Generic black
Size: A3 297×420 mm

The paper wasn't quite up for the hundreds of passes in the centre, I will be trying versions of this again on higher quality paper when I've got some more of these white pens in - this drawing used up a significant chunk of my last one. Or I could try the 05 version I don't like as much because it's lines are not as opaque.
