The golden ratio is a mathematical formula that appears in nature and may have inspired great works of art and architecture. Some believe it defines facial beauty - but is it all a myth? Our video with BBC Ideas takes a look: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCax...

Just a reminder that

A photo of a staircase at Vizcaya in Miami that I took ages ago and processed the hell out of.

It spirals down. The golden ratio could never.

The beauty observed in nature, particularly in plants like the Aeonium succulent shown, is often linked to mathematical principles such as the Fibonacci sequence. #ColorADay #GreenSat #dailyflowers 🌱 #flowerreport #bloomscrolling

The Connection Between Beauty, Fibonacci Theorem, and Nature:
Fibonacci Sequence in Nature: The Fibonacci sequence (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ...) is a series where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones. This sequence appears frequently in nature's patterns, including the arrangement of leaves on a stem, the branching of trees, the spirals of seeds in a sunflower, and the scales of a pinecone.
Beauty in Natural Patterns: The spiral arrangement of leaves in the Aeonium succulent, as seen in the image, is a classic example of a Fibonacci spiral. This specific arrangement allows for optimal light exposure to each leaf, contributing to the plant's health and aesthetic appeal. The regularity and predictability of these patterns, governed by mathematical rules like the Fibonacci sequence, are often perceived as inherently beautiful and harmonious to the human eye.
The Golden Ratio: The Fibonacci sequence is closely related to the Golden Ratio (approximately 1.618), which is also found throughout nature and art and is often associated with aesthetic beauty and pleasing proportions. The ratio of successive Fibonacci numbers approaches the Golden Ratio as the sequence progresses. This mathematical relationship underpins many of the natural forms we find visually appealing.

While many natural patterns do follow the Fibonacci sequence, not all spirals or plant arrangements do.

Not every instance of perceived beauty is strictly due to the Golden Ratio.

The golden ratio is the larger of the two roots of x² – x – 1 = 0, and also the limit of the ratio of successive Fibonacci numbers. (followed by a gzillion more Phi facts!)

The USAF removed Tuskegee Airmen & Women Airforce Service Pilots of WWII from basic training curriculum. For 30 years I promised these women I would not let them ever be forgotten again.

An hour of sketchbook time keeps the dread (ever so slightly) at bay.

First round of monoline vectors from the initial 'mn' sketches. Admittedly, I'm also seeing 'rn' more than I am 'mn'. Not sure this will work…

Juvenile Shikra Head Study (Accipiter badius) charcoal on paper.

Juvenile Shikra Head Study
From my demonstration for wildlife artists of India.

Referring to images and making art is a good way to start. However, it leads to many years of ill-practice of making flat artworks. Since images are 2 dimensional, during this demo, quickly made this prototype head of the Shikra to show form, structure and shape.

What is the prototype made off? Want to take any guess?

Sharing a small pro-tip to brighten your day, share!

Demo work (AWN Sketching Club)
Title: Juvenile Shikra Head Study!
Juvenile Shikra (Accipiter badius)
Size: 25.4×30.48 cms (10 x 12)
Medium: Charcoal on 170GSM Scholar paper
Duration: 14 hours
Location: Bangalore, Karnataka, India
November 21st, 2021
Reference: Own Reference image

It's time for my 2025 techo kaigi, or journal meeting! (I skipped last year but shhhhh I was too tired) This year's setup looks crazy but it's actually very manageable 🖋️ Read on for details on what I'm using my planners and journals for! (1/5) #techokaigi #journalmeeting #journaling #planners

A photo of a stack of planners and journals on a brown hardwood floor, with the largest on the bottom and the smallest at the top. There are a total of eight journals.
