The hand in Linea, cream on black
01 What it is

Seurat, with a machine.

Linea places shapes one by one where the image is dark: circles, polygons, strokes, stars. They push each other away so they never touch, like an engraver stippling with a burin.

The result is a real vector drawing: it scales forever, goes to a plotter, a laser cutter, a large-format print.

02 What it can do
01

Stippling

Thousands of same-ink dots, denser in the shadows. Marble becomes an engraving.

Indian ink
Colour

Polygons · image colour on midnight blue

02

Colour

Each shape takes the colour of the photo beneath it: Grande Jatte pointillism, recomputed.

03

Strokes and hatching

Straight or radiating strokes, length and angle following the light: sketch, charcoal, rain, grass.

Cross-hatching
Negative

White on black · first state of a composition

04

Negative

Shapes gather in the light: a chalk drawing on black.
