Recitation 6 Processing Basics by Sharon Xu

 

The Cony Rabbit

I chose an image of Cony to be the motif. Cony is my favorite cartoon character because this lovely rabbit is always happy and full of positive energy, so I chose it as my motif. First, I analyzed the basic graphics in the picture: ear, face, blush, the nose is made of ellipses, eyes are made of circles, and mouth is made of straight line and curve. And the colors are white, pink and black. After knowing what to draw, I used functions like arc(), ellipse(), rect(), stroke(), fill() and so on to achieve my ideal shape.

CODE:

size(600,600);

stroke(255);

fill (255);

ellipse(200,160,60,250);

ellipse(300,160,60,250);

stroke(#F08080);

fill(#F08080);

ellipse(200,160,40,220);

ellipse(300,160,40,220);

stroke(255);

fill (255);

ellipse(250,225,300,225);

fill (0);

ellipse(220,200,25,25);

ellipse(280,200,25,25);

ellipse(250,225,40,30);

stroke(255);

fill (255);

ellipse(200,160,60,250);

ellipse(300,160,60,250);

stroke(#F08080);

fill(#F08080);

ellipse(200,160,40,220);

ellipse(300,160,40,220);

stroke(255);

fill (255);

ellipse(250,225,300,225);

fill(0);

ellipse(220,200,25,25);

ellipse(280,200,25,25);

ellipse(250,225,40,30);

stroke(255);

fill (255);

ellipse(250,225,22.5,17.5);

fill(0);

stroke(0);

rect(246,235,7.5,35);

noFill();

strokeWeight(6);

arc(250, 230, 80, 80, QUARTER_PI, PI-QUARTER_PI, OPEN);

fill(#FFC0CB);

stroke(#FFC0CB);

ellipse(175,225,80,50);

ellipse(325,225,80,50);

My creation

My creation is roughly the same as my chosen motif, drawing the basic plane figure of Cony Rabbit. I enlarged the blush part to make Cony look cuter. My creation can be used as a 2D logo, which is applicable. I think if the pattern is made up of basic patterns, drawing in Processing was a good means of realizing your design. But if the design is very complex, I think Processing may not be your first choice, because you need to set a lot of parameters to adjust the position of the graphics, which increases the workload compared to the drawing software. What’s more, the number of functions of graphics in processing is also limited, so it is not suitable for those designs which are not made up of basic patterns.
