Processing art tutorial Ep.33
For Patrons & YT MembersDIFFERENCE - Drawing Machine 20
Made with code / Processing
This Processing art tutorial shows the code that was used for the Drawing Machine 20 pen plotter drawing. It is a quite simple code but it offers lot of variations. The code uses two basic for0 loops and a line with two map() functions to control the grid of lines. The colors are multiplied to visualize the difference or overlaps of lines. It is possible to continue developing this code, especially with lerp() and lerpColor() functions while changing the strokeWeight() variable and grid size. Once a composition in finished, export the PDF and a large raster image for a pen plotter or a digital print. Here is the Drawing Machine 20 video: https://youtu.be/Z17bZ5ZAMDk

New plotter postcard: Fuzz Rings 3
Revisiting a an algorithm from last year that I really enjoyed and adding a second color.

Rings #1 & #2
9" x 12"
Micron on Bristol
I love tightly packing alternating lines of color. I find that the precision of the plotter combined with the inevitable slight misalignment of a physical setup creates a very compelling image. It’s certainly a recurring theme in my work!
With this one I pushed the noisiness just a bit. The circles are all randomly offset from each other by just a fraction of an inch. This makes them reliable but adds areas where they are closer and other spots where there is more white showing through.
I’m very happy with the texture this creates in the final drawings! It’s fun to find new ways to approach styles I already feel comfortable with.

Rings
5.5" x 4"
Micron on postcard
Mixing in some randomness so make the rings a little uneven and enjoying the white space it leaves.
Had some artifacting issues to solve with this one, but I’m very happy with how it came out!
Shoutout to oskay on the drawingbots discord for some suggestions on how to deal with the dots you can see running along the bottom left of each circle in this draft.

YAYANS
(Yet Another Yet Another Noise Shape)
The Perlin Noise shapes cannot be stopped. This time with gel pen on black art paper.
This postcard will be mailed to a random patreon backer!

YANS (Yet Another Noise Shape)
It is my promise that I will never stop using Perlin Noise to make funky little shapes.

Plotter postcard: Hive Stripes
Starting with a locked grid but modulating the number of lines and random offset from the grid.
