Beautiful... there's a feeling of volume, "3D", an invitation to a beautiful trip into the picture

my pleasure, such great symetry in this piece, how did you make it and how do you design something so complex???

Well, it's really just a collection of circles - I drew one big circle and filled it with concentric circles. Then I divided the circle into 4 and drew a lot of smaller circles inside - 4 in the middle and 8 round the edge. Then I drew round a set-square I had in my draw to make the points
The circles all overlapped and made allsorts of other patterns - so then I just inked in some of the circle edges and rubbed out others.
Best bit was colouring it in
I think it just looks complex because I did a lot of detailed patterns in the spaces.
If you ignore the patterns, you can see it's just overlapping circles and 8 set-squares

Thank you! They're called set squares but they are really plastic triangles that you get in school maths kits. There are 8 of those triangle shapes in my pic. I have no idea what mathematicians use them for......

oh i know what you're talking about.. it's a trinagle and along the straight side you have a normal measurementΒ 

and along the angled sides you have degrees, you mostly use it in maths to draw angled lines in a certain degree ..
