For the month of October, I'm participating in the annual #inktober drawing challenge. I'll be following some of the official Inktober prompts, but mostly the SciArt Inktober prompts. I will also be giving up my colorful inks and restricting myself to black ink.
Today, I'm following the #SciArtInktober prompt "lipid" and drawing some phospholipids.
Today's #SciArtInktober prompt is "Size". I decided to go with a type of circle packing that arranges the circles as they decrease in size, for my drawing. And again, I enjoyed playing with stippling.
Today's #SciArtInktober prompt is 'mutation'. I went with mutations over generations, but drawn as a bead curtain. Yeah, it's weird, but that's what happened today.
Today's prompt is 'element'. I started thinking about carbon, and electron orbitals, and the geometry of atoms...and I ended up with an abstract spiral of elements, with each dot representing the protons in atoms.
Today's #SciArtInktober prompt is 'half-life'. I decided to invert that and go more biological, with some little fishies that keep doubling their population.
Today's #SciArtInktober prompt is "vector". My brain decided to focus on disease vectors. At first, I thought mosquitos, but I don't have time to figure out how to draw one this morning. So, I'm drawing virus particles instead.
"Codon" is today's #SciArtInktober prompt, so I'm going with some Biochem inspiration and drawing an imaginary protein being formed from an mRNA strand.
Today's prompt is "ectopic", so I'm going medical with this one. An ectopic pregnancy is one in which the fertilized egg has attached outside of the uterus. It is not survivable without medical treatment.
Wow! Only a few days more, and then I get to play with colors again. Today's #SciArtInktober prompt is "osmosis". This was a tricky concept to visualize, and my drawing is a little boring today. Oh well.
Today's #SciArtInktober prompt is "transcription". As with many of the prompts this month, this one pulls me back to my student days. I was, and still am, completely fascinated by the molecular machinery of life.
I may have to try this drawing again, and get the curves a little more smooth.
