var portrait; 

function preload(){
    var url = "https://i.imgur.com/rh2ehQc.jpg";

}

function setup() {
    createCanvas(480, 480);
    background(0);
    portrait.loadPixels(); 
    frameRate(2000); 
}
   
function draw() {
    //random pixel 
    var px = floor(random(width)); 
    var py = floor(random(height)); 

    //color variables for that pixel 
    var cx = constrain(px, 0, width - 1); 
    var cy = constrain(py, 0, height - 1); 

    var colorLoc = portrait.get(cx, cy); 

    noStroke(); 
    fill(colorLoc); 

    //person (rectangles)
    if(px > 120 & px < 430 && py > 30 && py < height){
        rect(px, py, 5, 5); 
    }
    //background (ellipses)
    else{
        ellipse(px, py, 10, 10); 
    }
    
}
  

This project was very interesting to complete. I enjoyed the process of playing with different shapes to complete the different colored sections that worked together to form the portrait. I wanted to use larger ellipses in the background to create a more hazy background.
