"Vector Drawing the Hard Way" , 2025
p5js line shape primatives, assorted gifs and graphics taken from PicMix, Photoshop, mounted on this neocities page
This final builds on the basics we learned with the emoji exercise. It was one of my favorite activities we did this semester
The title refers to the nature of these shapes being vectors, which are infinitely scalable. Most art programs actually do have vector capabilities, but using raster brushes is much more popular.
I'm very passionate about digital art/illustration and the most unconventional ways to do it. I started off by drawing a sketch by hand but everything else is I used just the line shape primative.
When I was younger and learning digital art for the first time, I would use the line tool on Microsoft Paint because I was too impatient to use the curve tool
Just like back then, I am now too impatient to understand how arcs work
Everything except the colors in the figure was done within p5js, it's entirely possible to color within p5js but I value my time sadly.
