Overgrowth X8

Overgrowth was an experiment in mixed brushes, and random walks, to create complex scribble landscapes. Overgrowth X8 takes the concept a number of steps forward.

The first change is that there are 8 brush heads rather than 1. The starting location of these brush heads have been curated into 6 sets.

a) Four Corners - 2 brush heads emanating from each corner,
b) All Together Now - All brush heads starting at the same low central location,
c) Great Monument (sometimes),
d) Upon this Slope, these structures are built,
e) Heaven and Earth - 4 brush heads at the top and 4 at the bottom, sometimes they meet,
f) Random Landscaper - All brush heads randomly placed in the lower part of the canvas.

Each brushes white ellipses are now a randomised shade of very light grey. This gives slightly more depth.

As the brushes usually do not randomly fill the whole canvas, there is a background that has been built to be consistent with the drawing, rather than just using a solid color or mono light bands.

White and black stroke sizes have been adapted to give a slightly wider range of effects.
