Hi! so I found this artists page full of drawings with code and I love it so much, though I dont know how to do that so if anybody has any recommendations on tutorials or introduction to this kind of processing coding that’d be great

hi,  
yes it is nice what is all possible,  
but prior to a graphic tutorial you should concentrate on the coding basics,  
( sorry i looked at your first shared code again )  
starting with mini examples from the reference like  
[https://processing.org/reference/for.html](https://processing.org/reference/for.html)  
a for loop or  
[https://processing.org/reference/Array.html](https://processing.org/reference/Array.html)  
any form of the arrays prepared for processing

later can start with more complex ( graphic ) examples

all you can call up directly from the processing IDE ( now 3.5.3 )  
/ Help / or / File / menu

esp. the examples allow a fast checkout  
regarding code and run…  
much faster as with any video tutorial.

* * *

only then can start with a own graphic project  
and i not want to hold you back, but expect that any nice picture you showed above / see  
is a project of a week or so, and might never look exactly same, if you ever get it running.

yes, be prepared for some failures too!
