For this project, I wanted to practice making noisy lines. I used a for loop that drew sections of the line, using previous coordinates as starting points. Then I added another loop that translates the y coordinates of the line through each iteration. An improvement that I would make would be to remove the connecting lines between the rows. The result of the loop looked like primitive waves or mountains to me. I decided to pursue this concept by using bright and sunny colors. I don’t think I would wear this pattern, but it gave me a chance to try something new.
