Developer morelatnight wrote herself a "paintbrush": a program that looks at a picture and paints it the way a hand might — a dark ground, big loose strokes first, then smaller strokes only where the canvas still looks wrong. It used 55,185 strokes to repaint her first drawing. A charming creative demo of wiring an image model into a human-like stroke-by-stroke painting loop.
