Curvature
Another series of sketches exploring organic curves. Particles follow wandering paths, stopping when they cross another path. The shape of the path, the number of particles, the initial starting positions, the way the particles die,… all have a major impact on the final image.
The ultimate example of this drawing mechanism is Jared Tarbell’s masterpiece ‘substrate‘. Some of the fine pieces by Dave Bollinger also seem to use something like it.
Click on the image to go to the corresponding construct. A click of the mouse resets the piece. On some platforms the lines are not properly anti-aliased. I haven’t figured out why but it sure messes up the images.
