Sumi-e Pad.
A minimal browser-based painting app — simple, expressive, endlessly variable.
Sumi-e Pad is a minimalist, browser-based painting application developed entirely in JavaScript, using the HTML5 Canvas API for real-time drawing and randomization.
Inspired by traditional Japanese ink painting (sumi-e), the tool enables fluid digital brush strokes with subtle variations. Beneath its simple interface lies a generative logic: the app interprets mouse and touch movements as data streams, modulated by pseudo-random functions to mimic the unpredictability of analog ink.
While the main drawing is guided by the user, a small generative effect adds a subtle mark at the end of each stroke — giving each gesture a unique visual echo.
Once finished, you can print or download your creation — a simple expression in digital form.
