The Mirror
The first drawing tool I created is a simple mirror of the drawing, across both the X and Y axis. I then assigned a random draw color each time after the drawing is paused.
In 2021, I took a class in Creative Coding that taught me how to use Processing (Java). This is a showcase of the evolution of a drawing tool. I started playing with the concept of drawing and randomization with Processing3. In this series, there are three distinct phases which developed my final drawing tool.
The first drawing tool I created is a simple mirror of the drawing, across both the X and Y axis. I then assigned a random draw color each time after the drawing is paused.
The second drawing tool focused on the design of my brush. I played with
rotating squares to circular shapes. Each square drawn would have a
randomized color, which created rainbow pinwheels and a spray that
reminds me of sprinkles. The size of the squares depend on the mouse
position along the X-axis.
I created one version of the tool where two rows are created at a time,
with a radius dependent on the mouse position along the Y-axis. The
pictures displayed are captured from that version.
The last drawing tool I created utilizes a simple color selection feature. I reused my sprinkles brush, but now applying a controlled set of colors to the canvas.
