Someone told me that the difference between undergraduate education and graduate education is that you transition from tool user to tool maker. With that in mind I have been exploring making my own drawing tools within Processing. Flower painter is the first of these drawing tools. The idea is quite simple and written in less than a page of code.  The actual drawing tool is a flower with five petals. The length of time you press down with your mouse click affects how many ellipses go into forming the petals. Next I am going to make GUI that would allow me to simply change the size of the ellipses and the range of colors.
