About Let momentum draw the line

Drift Draw makes lines through steering instead of direct sketching. Nudge a moving dot, let momentum shape the path, change the pen color, and save the resulting generative drawing.

Drawing controls

  • Momentum-based line drawing
  • Keyboard and on-screen direction controls
  • Adjustable pen color
  • PNG download

Set it drifting

  1. Use the arrow keys or direction buttons to steer the dot.
  2. Change the pen color or pause while planning the next movement.
  3. Download the canvas as a PNG when the drawing is finished.
