var pic;

function setup() {
    createCanvas(358, 480);

    background(255);
    imageMode(CENTER);
    frameRate(100);
}

function draw() {
	// randomizes position of pixel appearance 
    var x = constrain(floor(random(width)), 0, width - 1);
    var y = constrain(floor(random(height)), 0, height - 1);
    // randomizes arc width and height
    var w = random(5, 30);
    var h = random(5, 30);

    noStroke();
    // picks colors from pixel position 
    var picCol = pic.get(x, y);
    fill(picCol);
    // draws arcs as 'custom pixel'
    arc(x, y, w, h, HALF_PI, PI);
}

I decided to create a custom pixel portrait of my dad for his birthday this weekend. Due to its personal significance, I found this project to be super fun and rewarding, and hope he enjoys the project! I will be doing more of these in the future to try out different options.
