Back in early 2020, just before lockdown, I started building Scribi — my very own custom-made drawing machine (the name comes from scribbles). The idea was simple but ambitious: design the hardware and write the firmware completely from scratch, then teach it to draw using Python.

But Scribi isn’t just any plotter — I wanted it to mimic some of the most iconic artistic techniques in history. Think the single-line engravings of Claude Mellan, the dramatic Italian crosshatching styles of the 1600s, and a whole range of other mesmerizing patterns. It’s been a mix of engineering, coding, and a dash of art history — and the results have been as surprising as they are beautiful.
