Very cool! The single line spiral drawing is my favorite.

Absolutely love them!

I Wrote An Algorithm That Scribbles Drawings Using A Single Line

I am working on a paper about my system right now. So yes

I Wrote An Algorithm That Scribbles Drawings Using A Single Line

Those are only generated digitally, but I have uploaded some gifs of the plotter-bot on my Imgur page. I will have to look for them.

I Wrote An Algorithm That Scribbles Drawings Using A Single Line

I do have a robot (more of a plotter), but instead of hands it has one clamp to hold the pen.

I Wrote An Algorithm That Scribbles Drawings Using A Single Line

Thank you! This is the first time someone called my work fantabulous!

I Wrote An Algorithm That Scribbles Drawings Using A Single Line

To answer the questions below: I am working on an App for LinesLab. So it will be possible to make such transformations yourself at some point.

I Wrote An Algorithm That Scribbles Drawings Using A Single Line

The fact that it is only one line is just a byproduct. I was also thinking about spreading the ink like roots of a tree, but this will be a different style for later.

I Wrote An Algorithm That Scribbles Drawings Using A Single Line

I am sorry but no. I had bad experience with copy cats before and decided not to share my code anymore.

I Wrote An Algorithm That Scribbles Drawings Using A Single Line

Thank you! Of course the result can only be as good as the original image. So the credit should go to the photographer Emma Tempest and the model Willow Hand.

I Wrote An Algorithm That Transforms Photos Into Mosaics, And My Bot Draws Them For Me

Thank you so much! Support like this is what keeps me motivated.

I Wrote An Algorithm That Transforms Photos Into Mosaics, And My Bot Draws Them For Me

Thank you! Some of the portraits are drawn with a pen by my plotter bot Karel, so yes it is possible to make them.

I Wrote An Algorithm That Transforms Photos Into Mosaics, And My Bot Draws Them For Me

Thanks! I promise to make a DeLorean in the future

I am glad you like them. Feel free to print them out!

I Programmed A Plotter Bot To Draw With A Pen

Somehow I can not reply to your last comment. Thank you for the links! It was interesting reading up on Charles Csuri.

I Programmed A Plotter Bot To Draw With A Pen

That is interesting. I never heard of him. Do you have a reference to the work you mention?

I Programmed A Plotter Bot To Draw With A Pen

Thanks. I might share the code later this year

Can someone explain me the difference between filters and these algorithms?

I love the results. Are there some styles that have given you trouble that you hope to conquer?

I Spend 9 Months Developing An Algorithm That Can Draw

I see Harry Potter in the thumbnail. I click.

I Spend 9 Months Developing An Algorithm That Can Draw

There are really lovely. Are you taking commissions by any chance? I'd love to have one of those as a Christmas present.

I Spend 9 Months Developing An Algorithm That Can Draw

I'd be hard put to accurately define a drawing algorithm, much less create one. It looks like magic to me.
