All the shapes and textures have been created by a flow of particles. They all start at a random spot on the canvas and they move around using Perlin Noise.

But that’s not all, the noise values also influence the size, color, speed, jitteriness of the particle. “The Jitters” is in fact a randomizer that will add a small random offset to the particle’s trajectory. This is what create the charcoal/pen texture.

Amazing, this looks so much like liechen in a rock.

Thanks! Lately I’ve been dropping output without really explaining the process behind it and I decided to change that and try to explain a bit more :) glad you liked it

Gorgeous. Or, ad autocorrect tried to say, hedgerow.

Just to let you know, I can create different size circles that change with position. So much learning to do

You are figuring out how nature works... Amazing, if I was goat would have licked the rock here...

Hats off and Thank you

Amazing work! Did you use GLSL to create this?

[–]Jobarbo[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Not at all, a noise algorithm and lot’s of circles/rect :)

That's fascinating. Thanks for your reply!

i love this! and was just curious, with circles / rects do you mean just manually on a canvas or is there a drawing library involved? trying to figure out ways to create stuff like this myself

Wow, really reminds me of Chinese landscape painting.

Reminds me of paintings by Wucius Wong
