About the Project

Coding Project
Draw with Pixels to Paint ➯

This is a drawing tool that explores the combination of highly-controlled pixel drawing and a less controlled type of paint or ink flow. (This is still being worked out, as the ink spread effect is currently too formulaic.) This sketch is also an attempt to use some of the concepts from Tyler Hobbs' "How to Hack a Painting" essay. Future improvements include improving the shape deformation to improve the ink spread, and the addition of symmetry builders (drawing symmetrically with this tool seems to yield the best visual results).
