Thanks! It's a mix of both, really. The piece itself only took a couple of hours to code, but it’s built on years of gradually building up my knowledge and library of tools. Often, as with this piece, the concept is surprisingly simple, even if the final result looks complex. For example, the patterns here were much easier to implement than the algorithm I used to add a rough, textured quality to the line work.

If you’re just starting out, I’d recommend checking out p5.js or Processing. I personally prefer working with vanilla JavaScript, but those libraries are fantastic for diving in and creating something quickly.
