What I found interesting when using drawing software, whatever it is the exe file or website-drawing tool hybrid, it's like you are adapting to their reality, feel or atmosphere with the set of tool they have. Sure, they can be very creative with a brush set that isn't mean for, like someone on KZbin made a realistic picture of Santa with MS Paint! You need the sheer patience and perseverance to achieve this! This is coming from someone who use drawing software as playground than surpassing the limit. I am glad to found a video showcasing how these software are made. Long ago, I made two Drawing Software with Python, one is Tag Art, with different brush shape and a brick wall as a background and the other is Pixel Art Tool, even if MS Paint do the job better. All they lack is saving the works. For me, drawing tools are like video game, understanding the limit and try to overcome it or take advantage of it. Yeah, in short, being a pure artist never come to mind. I would love this drawing software!

[@timrodenbroeker]

Thanks Andee!!

[@tommynko]

Woaaa love your approach Tim! This is really great inspiration :)

[@timrodenbroeker]

Wow, thanks a lot Tomas! Would love to go into a deeper conversation about how you understand my approach. Do you mean how i approach this project from scratch? Have a great day!

[@tommynko]

@@timrodenbroeker Thank you! Yes, we can talk more about this :) Yeah I meant your approach to coding from scratch, especially your thought process

[@timrodenbroeker]

@@tommynko Yes, this is something i want to dive deeper into. Some people told me that they percive me as a Processing teacher. But what i really want to do is teaching Creative Coding. That's what drives me most.

Super nice! An upgrade could be to use the webcam as a source to add pieces of the user to the composition.

[@timrodenbroeker]

That's a great idea. Thank you!

[@dimadem]

thank you so much for this video

[@WillySolares]

Man you should join the GIMP Developers Team...Nice Video

[@timrodenbroeker]

Hahaha! Yes maybe i should! Thank you Willy!

[@AntonyNorthcutt]

Watching you code this from scratch is a work of art in itself. Stunning piece of work Tim!

[@AntonyNorthcutt]

Seriously makes me want to just give up web design and do everything I can to become a "Processing expert" like you :)

[@timrodenbroeker]

Thank you very much Antony! I will do this more often in the future!

[@AntonyNorthcutt]

@@timrodenbroeker do you think it would possible to create layers for this?

[@timrodenbroeker]

@@AntonyNorthcutt You mean layers like those in photoshop? Sure. With PGraphics.

[@AntonyNorthcutt]

@@timrodenbroeker hmmm now this is getting interesting! I'm gonna re-join your Patreon and really give this a go. Just need to wait until midnight to join ha ha!! Oh and the idea of a Net Art course is AMAZING!!!

[@tameem38]

☝This is the coolest design tool I ever seen. Amzing work of art Tim, highly customisable, and the outcome is super unique. Well done.👏

[@timrodenbroeker]

Thanks alot buddy! 🙏

[@whitedesignstudio5605]

Hi @tim, my images are showing up extremely zoomed in. Can you help me fix that?

[@jbanales69]

I love this! I am having a problem with rendering the artobard. It renders all three and I can't figure out what I am doing wrong!

[@mypencil8568]

I'm having this same problem. Any idea will be very welcome

[@DesignAnalogHumanity]

Awesome

[@FranciscoSilva-uz9lv]

Hi! Thanks for your content! really helpfull! would you mind to share your images depository?? i really love that kind of images too. Thanks again!

[@sydneysolomon5500]

Hi, what software are u using for this project? I have become obsessed with coding of art, in particular coding portraits If u can believe I am 81 years old, so it will take me longer, than most people.

[@tuna_k2958]

( Processing ) java based creative coding

[@jyy1876]

It’ so cool .
