Technically amazing - such fine detail, and of course precision. However ...

I recently heard the saying "a great artist knows when to stop" (it was Ben Afflek talking about AI art - I guess he was quoting someone?). I feel like in the case of these drawings, less detail would actually be better. More readable, perhaps.

Still, an impressive amount of effort for each one, given only straightedge and compass.

I think the detail IS the art, or at least the strongest element that the artist wishes to demonstrate.

Removing the details removes the reference to the formula(e), which is the soul around which the beatiful pictures are created. In this case, the art is the process, more-so than the end result - which is a by-product.
