Recitation 5: Processing Basics——Cindy Xie

  • Step 1: My Image

(The Eye of Horus)

I saw in the movie that The Eye of Horus represents rebirth and the protection of gods. It is very artistic and gives people a sense of mystery and sanctity. I like this figure very much. At the same time, it is not particularly complex, suitable for processing beginners like me. 

  • Step 2:  Draw it!

size(600,600);
background(255);
noFill();
stroke(0);
strokeWeight(10);
triangle(298,0,0,520,600,520);
//eyebrow
strokeWeight(10);
bezier(194,190,246.5,210,240,150,404,190);
//eye
strokeWeight(10);
bezier(145,273,160,290,320,160,451,270);
strokeWeight(10);
bezier(140,285,180,240,340,380,451,270);
//tongkong
fill(0);
strokeWeight(10);
ellipse(340,270,72,72);
//zuo
strokeWeight(15);
noFill();
bezier(110,400,60,450,120,500,330,320);
//you
strokeWeight(10);
line(340,320,340,450);
fill(0);
triangle(340,470,390,360,340,345);

I mainly use bezier, strokeWeight, ellipse, triangle and other functions, among which bezier is the one I use most, because I am drawing eyes, so I need a lot of curves.What is more difficult is that the decoration of the lower right part of the eye is not easy to draw, so I choose to use triangle instead. Although it is different from the original picture, it is also very aesthetic.At the same time left decoration I do not know how to draw a spiral, perhaps I can learn later!The most difficult thing is that the inflection points of the curve are not well set, and very accurate data is required.

Processing makes me think that painting can also be digitized, which improves the accuracy. However, I still think it is not very convenient. Maybe I just started to learn it, and many functions are still unclear.But I like this feeling very much, I like programming, at the same time programming to make up for my painting skills poor shortcomings!
