Drawing Is Optimisation (Again)
Because drawing all the detail would
make the picture too dark,
we compensate. The language
of pen-and-ink does not allow compensation by making
the lines lighter: we
have only black ink. So we do the
next best thing. We delete lines. If we had
a fine pen, we could also draw thinner lines.
The compensation is not perfect, but
it is the closest we can get given the limitations
of pen-and-ink.
In the diagram, the first two house pictures are
as on the previous slide. The third is derived from
the second, by using Gimp to thin and delete lines.
