I started off by drawing some points using the “for” loops. I used sine and cosine to draw points along circles. This helped me visualized where the lines will go. I then used nested “for” loops to draw the lines. The lines went along all sides of the canvas and I thought that it looked well. I was messing around with the variables and the end result turned out to be an upside-down tilted heart. I then translated to the middle of the canvas in order to rotate it, then converted all the variables to scale properly. All in all, I thought the project really taught me how to use for loops.
