Silk Drawing Tool Clone

· Processing · art · justforfun ·

An attempt to recreate the Silk Drawing Tool in Processing. Moving the brush at different speeds will cause different effects. The effect is created by simulating multiple brushes that 'orbit' the primary brush at different acceleration values.

All Processing apps were created using Processing 2 and were intended for use on a desktop. Conversion to processing.js may cause some unindented artifacting. Some interactions may require keyboard input.

Instructions:

Click and drag to draw

Fast strokes will create smoother lines

Increasing 'Folds' to 8 or more will switch to single line drawing

Folds and Mirror settings add different forms of symmetry
