Extending Manual Drawing Practices with Artist-Centric Programming Tools
summary
Built a visual programming drawing system called Dynamic Brushes that runs on a pressure tablet plus desktop and exposes property mappings and generators, stateful transitions, and a spawn action to create brushes that modulate stroke scale, timing, and spawn child brushes. Nine artist interviews motivate the design and a two-week study with two professional artists shows both users learn to author original brush behaviors, the illustrator prefers generator-driven line effects, the painter uses timer and lift-driven extensions, and the system proves expressive and learnable.
