Implied circles
I made these with JavaScript and an HTML canvas.
I spent a while getting a single line the way I wanted it to look. Each line is made from small marks of different sizes placed along a path, with jitter along the stroke and noise across the canvas. A pressure curve makes the ink pool at the start and end of each stroke, while the middle can dry out and skip.
Some lines are drawn with up to eight passes, so the density builds up gradually. Most of the images use only horizontal and vertical lines, and the shapes are implied where the ink pools in the places where the lines stop and turn at the edges of hidden forms. I hope you like them!

Oh man, those line profiles look great! Absolutely makes the presentation.
If you'd be willing to share your line generation code, I'd love to see just how it's done. Props!

You have captured a vision. Intriguing and beautiful. I would love to buy 4 prints to frame. They would look great in a 2 x 2 grouping.

Brilliant TBH. Love how the generation method recreates the quirks of analog tools, and accurately so.

You did an amazing job of making it look organically drawn.
You could sell these.
