Can someone help me in drawing a brain sketch in processing?

- If I want to put 7 brain sketches on the same page, how can I do that?

Thanks

You can load an image of a brain and display it

What do you mean?

Well if you want to only draw 7 brains on Processing, you just import the drawing of a brain and you display it seven times with `image()`.

Then if your goal is to generate random shape of brains each time, you can take a look at :

- [https://processing.org/reference/curveVertex\_.html](https://processing.org/reference/curveVertex_.html)

To load and display an image, use `loadImage()` and then display with `image()`

[https://processing.org/reference/loadImage\_.html](https://processing.org/reference/loadImage_.html)

To display it seven times you can do many things. Two easy ways:

1. call image seven times with different x,y arguments for different places on the screen.

2. or use a for loop, and loop over the same image call seven times, each with a different computed x (width) placement.
