function draw() {
    var px = random(width);
    var py = random(height);
    var xx = constrain(floor(px), 0, width);
    var xy = constrain(floor(py), 0, height);
    // getting color of each pixel 
    var theColorAtXY = myPicture.get(xx, xy);
    noStroke();
    fill(theColorAtXY);
    // writing the letter R in each pixel randomly

    text("R", px, py);  

}

For this project, I decided to use a picture of my bestfriend, Raphael. I set the frame rate fairly high so the letter “R” fills up fast enough. This was an interesting project overall, and I got more comfortable with playing around with pixels.
