1. The media consideration from Tyler Hobb's article was very insightful because it provides concrete examples of how and where different pen types/ paper types can work with plotters. The painting example was really cool as well. 2. I also found the convex-hull algorithm from Matt Deslauriers to be quite interesting. I think probably what I found most useful from these skimmings is exposure to different kinds of plots and which ones feel generic and which seem original.
