Hello @druuupppa ,

Please format and post your code as per instructions here:  
[https://discourse.processing.org/faq#format-your-code](https://discourse.processing.org/faq#format-your-code)

See [Guidelines - Asking Questions](https://discourse.processing.org/t/guidelines-asking-questions/2147)

I suggest you take a look here:

Did you include the necessary `p.` object prefix for all the elements you want in your PGraphics?

You are also passing your current PGraphics `p` to the function. Is that intended? Give that some consideration.

A working, minimal, formatted example in static mode:

```auto
PGraphics pg;

size(100, 100);

pg = createGraphics(100, 100);

for(int i = 0; i<=90; i+=9)
  {
  pg.beginDraw();
  pg.pushMatrix();
  pg.noFill();
  pg.rotate(radians(i));
  pg.ellipse(50, 0, random(5, 20), 5); // drawPetal()
  pg.popMatrix();
  pg.endDraw();
  }

image(pg, 0, 0);

```

Start with a simple working example and build on that one step at a time.
