I chose this image because it felt like controlled chaos to me. While I liked the other examples with more fundamental shapes like squares or rectangles, I wanted to explore what we can create with lines and curves.
my sketch
I originally set out wanting to copy the original image exactly, but along the way I stumbled into this. In other words, I couldn’t get it exactly like the original, so I started experimenting with other options. I think that once I learn more skills in Processing I’ll be able to get closer to the original, but for now maybe free-hand drawing would be easier. I do think that drawing in Processing is a great tool for generative art, though. For example, a few lines of code I’m able to create many curves/lines/shapes whereas drawing by hand would take much longer.
