Besides understanding the functions available with using p5.js, one of the biggest takeaways I received was understanding the importance of sequencing code properly. Certain lines of code would mess the entire visual composition of the portrait if not put in the right place. I realized that much of the learning process came from working, crashing, revising, and rebuilding.
