#penplotting — Public Fediverse posts

The @processing Foundation Newsletter introduced me to the wonderful generaticve artist Licia He (https://www.eyesofpanda.com) and what can I say… I need to do a lot of reading and exploring now 🤩

For example her DearPlotter Font Generator (https://www.eyesofpanda.com/project/dearplotter_font/) or her Plotting Course (https://www.eyesofpanda.com/project/painting_with_plotters/).

Very excited to dive into all her work!

I've had some challenges this month, so I haven't posted my genuary as much.

here is day 22,24, and 26 together:

This came out good. Took forever at 1cm/sec and drained four pens, but I'd do it again. Bonus, its a sticker. #penplotting

Still dealing with some slippage on the left idler, but it’s getting there. This is just the built in test, I’ll try to feed it some HPGL over the weekend.
#penPlotting

#penplotting on a peel and stick vinyl sheet, gradually adjusting the mixture of ink in a sharpie marker.

Tomorrow I’ll be at Twickenham High Tide festival doing some #penplotting on Twickenham Green. There’s live music all afternoon, too!

I think the moral of the story is vinyl cutters make mediocre pen plotters and Inkscape isn’t a great tool for HPGL.
At some point in the process one of them shits the bed and and draws a line right through the drawing.
Dashed lines also don’t work; I _think_ HPGL has a line type description feature, so maybe it’s the plotter just not accepting it.
On the plus side, I (sort of) finally got HPGL out of OSX Inkscape by rolling back to v1.3.

I wish I could buy a legit copy of AutoCAD R14 or 2000. That’s all I’d really need for this.

Today's prompt for #plotparty, #noink, pushed me to do something I've been meaning to try for a long time: #penplotting on a transparency and using to make a #cyanotype. I like how this turned out.

Getting there...But still need some more tweaking to get the right amount of colors and details.

"Point-Line-Plane' is #genuary22 which I interpreted as "Kandinsky'. Decided to plot them so I'm counting them as #genuary23 too (128 x 128 (mm) -which is what it showed on my phone and 12 X 12 (cm) - which my laptop showed).

@gordon

I forked @notlion 's Cuttle project for drawing seashells, and added rotationY, so you can spin the seashell now.

I wrote a little bit about using a pen plotter for a more traditional mode of drawing. I'm still not entirely sure where I'm going with my thinking here so this is more of a wordy sketch, I guess.

#penplotting #Axidraw

I did this yesterday. Drawn line by line as a digital vector drawing (thousands and thousands of little hand drawn lines ha ha ha 😅) which I then got the Axidraw to put on paper.

#Axidraw #penplotting

Experimented with #vsketch and #penplotting with multiple colors and fill. There is still some work to do. A couple of things I noticed:
1) paper stretches slightly due to the moisture of the ink and that leads to misalignment of the lines
2) position of the easel needs to be 100% fixed
3) finding the exact same position for the pen after changing is a challenge
4) it's seems that pens with flexible tips are not reliable when it comes to position; the tip might bend a bit in any direction

I usually plan out prints in their entirety but last night I just kept throwing things on a single sheet of paper, almost like a collage. Kind of a fun result, got a space jellyfish kind of vibe.

Made another thing today and stared at the pen while being magically moved across the paper.

Pen plotting. #penplotting #generativeart #mastoart

Got some #penplotting in today.
Could have coded the Jellyfish into a specific composition but instead let my animated sketch run and write code to capture an SVG on click and pretended to be a nature photographer. 😜
