How to draw a spirograph pattern

  1. Set the ring and wheel sizes, in teeth like a real spirograph set, and where the pen sits in the wheel: near the edge for big loops, near the middle for soft waves.
  2. Pick a color and line width, then press Draw or Space and watch the pattern trace itself. Untick Draw slowly to see it at once.
  3. Change the settings and draw again to layer patterns. Surprise me picks settings for you. Press Download PNG to save your art.

Ideas to try

  • Layer two colors with the same ring and wheel but a different pen hole for a flower with an outline.
  • Ring 150, wheel 149 turns very slowly and draws a dense ribbon.
  • Ring 100, wheel 25 closes after 4 loops: a simple four-pointed shape.
  • For a print, use a thin line width on the PNG; it looks good printed or as a phone background.
