Click the image, put your cares aside, and draw...

This project is meant to be a way to ease our worries by drawing. What I suggest the user should do is make sure their posture is good, inhale deeply, and as they exhale, they draw a circle. Do not worry about how perfect it is. Let the hand guide you as you draw. Of course, the user doesn't have to just draw circles. They can draw other things too, like a mountain or a river.

This is a simple drawing machine that I made by playing around with the map and perlin noise codes until I got a line that closely resembles an ink stroke. I was inspired by the concept of ensō circles. The process of drawing a ensō circle is a meditative practice of letting go and letting your hand do the drawing. I made this drawing program as a way for us college students to relax and possibly reflect on this semester. The end of semester is fast approaching and finals are coming up. For some of us, we are hanging on the edge of our seats, wondering whether we'll pass a class or not. For that, I want to offer a way to take our minds off of those worries.
