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.

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

#ink #drawing #art #GenerativeArt #ProceduralArt #Mathtober #Mathober

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.

#Mathtober #mathober #MathArt #SciArt #ink #drawing #art #MastoArt

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!

Today's Mathtober prompt is "Reye Configuration". I made a rough attempt, not precise at all. Cool concept, though.

Edited to add: This one was difficult to write alt-text for, but I tried my best.

Today's Mathtober prompt is "Domain". My interpretation is a bit abstract, but I kinda like how it turned out.

Today's Mathtober prompt is "Wheel", which reminded me of a color wheel. So I went with a ring of penguins in rainbow colors for today's drawing.

I liked how it turned out, so I drew a few on watercolor paper. I might put these in my online shop: ArtAtomic.io.

As usual, I've shared it for my supporters on Patreon and Ko-fi:

Today's Mathtober prompt is "Faithful", which apparently means "equal" in mathematics. I had to look it up. So, I'm going with two sets of fish for today's #inkyDays drawing.

I also finally finished a big piece that I've been working on for the last few months. Feels fantastic to finish it at last!

I haven't been posting for #mathober, but have been messing with compass and straightedge constructions, colored in with something like watercolor or pencil. Today's prompt, "chord", seems to fit this construction of a pentagon, which involves placing 5 chords within a circle.

#mathtober #euclid #geometry #chord #mathart #pentagon

Today's Mathtober prompt is "Chord". Instead of the musical definition, I'm going with mathematical, which is roughly a line between two points on a circle. In my #inkyDays drawing, I'm adding a new circle at one point of the last chord and adding a new chord to the new circle, forming what looks like a string of beads.

#mathober day 13: Sporadic Group

This is what I'd call a sporadic group of closed curves. To be honest, I don't know anything of group theory, but this day's title was kind of inspiring.

#CreativeCoding #Processing #genart #mathart #loop #mathtober

Today's Mathtober prompt is "Monotonic". Looking it up, it seems that a Monotonic curve does not change direction. It either trends up or down. So, aiming for optimism, I've drawn little ants climbing an upward trending curve for today's #inkyDays drawing.

I'm not quite ready to move on from the Stellation prompt, and I'm trying it again with a smaller center. That way, more the the pattern fits on the page.

Today's Mathtober prompt is "Stellation". A super fun one!

Normally, I don't use pencil before ink. I usually start at one point and work my way out, organically. But for this one, I started with my compass and a pencil.

I posted a bit more about this drawing on my Patreon and Ko-fi: https://www.patreon.com/posts/140222503 https://ko-fi.com/Post/InkyDays-October-2025-P5P01M567L

I'm a bit behind on the Mathtober prompts, but I'll catch up. Maybe. Yesterday's prompt was "Notation".

I decided to play with musical notation, in today's drawing. It's been a long time since I've written any kind of musical notation by hand, but it felt like a conversation with an old friend.

For my supporters, here's a handy link to this month's posts: https://www.patreon.com/posts/140222503 https://ko-fi.com/Post/InkyDays-October-2025-P5P01M567L

Here's what 8 years of daily drawing looks like.

Some of them turned out rather well, and others not quite so well. The finished drawings are the artifacts of daily artistic practice. As I fill a sketchbook, I add it to the stack.

We're well into #Mathtober now, but just last week I finished a month of daily #SciArt drawings. I shared some here.

Last month's drawings are all in a free public post on my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/inkydays-2025-137994342

Yesterday's Mathtober prompt was "Partial Sum". But I drew dancing starfish in yesterday's #inkyDays drawing. So, I'm playing with a partial sum of ants in today's drawing.

A ring of five cubes cut and joined in Geogebra.

You can see the approximation’s fault on the right. With paper models, the error is less noticeable.

The dodecahedral version with 30 cubes is harder to model as Craig Kaplan has noted: "because you can let the laws of physics absorb and distribute the mathematical error inherent in the [physical] construction. To build a computer model, you must make explicit decisions about where that error should go. For example, the faces could be made slightly irregular, or slightly non-planar." https://isohedral.ca/a-molecular-near-miss
