Canvas
An experimental touch-drawing instrument
Canvas grew out of a simple paint program I made for a friend’s kid. While watching it in use, I noticed unexpected effects emerging from multitouch gestures and a handful of simple drawing rules.
I decided to lean into those accidents and turn the idea into a broader creative tool for teens and grown-ups. Canvas is the result: a drawing instrument built around surprising interactions between simple sets of rules.
