In my free time, I develop algorithms that turn images into drawings. I say drawings because the results are always made with a single line or collection of lines of constant width that can also be drawn with a pen by a plotter. So in a way I try to follow great computational artist like Georg Nees and Frieder Nake that started to create artworks with plotters.
This style is one of my latest algorithms, it scribbles a drawing of any input image. The algorithm tries to understand the image and divides it into patches with different structures and tone similarities. While making the “drawing” the algorithm dynamically evaluates the image and adjust the drawing path according to the structures in the image (contours etc.) and the tone.
The result is a messy but adequate scribble.

This image is a really good example how the algorithm recognizes the border between the face and the shoulder. To emphasize this, the algorithm draws the background slightly darker where it meets the face and shoulders.

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 don't have words to describe how I feel about this... ummmm... it is so good that it is hurting my brain. I don't really understand how you achieve this and I have a feeling I would still struggle with it after a comprehensive explanation lol... Bravo Sergei, bravo.
