-a- you did not answer to my question  
[Trying to do an animation, how can I make the mushroom go from closed to open?](https://discourse.processing.org/t/trying-to-do-an-animation-how-can-i-make-the-mushroom-go-from-closed-to-open/10614/2) here

-b- you did not work on variable position / form of the bezier curve

-c- now you just post 4 of that “static” curves.

* * *

generally there are two ideas:

-1- use blocks of  
push / translate / scale / drawbezier / pop  
for each  
-2-  
pls go back and work on the first problem  
as that solves also the variable position  
once your whole mushroom ( or the “head” only like here )  
has a posx, posy form/size factors  
you can make a module / function and call

```auto
draw_mushroom( posx, posy, w, h, open );

```
