Random drawing filter

Random is a GIMP Script that simulates clicking a brush at random locations a specified number of times.

Random

The Random script simulates using a nominated brush to click at random points in the image for a specified number of times.

Dialog Box

The following dialog box is used to configure the brush, number of points and margin.

Margin (Pixels) used to set a border to limit the area of painting. Increase this value when using larger brushes.

Brush - display the brush dialog box, shown below.

Color - choose a color for the brush.

Iterations - the number of times to paint a random location.

The brush dialog box is used to choose the type of brush, opacity and paint mode. The spacing option has no effect with this filter. Some pleasing effects can be created using larger brushes and a low opacity.

Animations

Animations can be created by repeatedly creating new layers and reapplying the filter tool. Creating an animation in GIMP is just a matter of saving an image containing several layers as a GIF file and responding to the dialog box with the frame refresh rates.
