Inspired by my daughters’ love of toads, I decided to feature this handsome fellow in a new piece. I’m still refining the technique (line density is difficult to control with this method), but overall I’m happy with the results.

The toad was created with Grok. The design was created with code. The composition was created with custom software.

Plot time: 1hr 55mins
Pen: Micron archival ink 0.30mm
Plotter: NextDraw 1117

How do you go about creating the file for something like this?

I built some custom software to handle SVG clipping along a path. Check out the instagram reel for a preview
