Hi — good plan to learn graphics by building something small. Keep the scope tiny at first: get one circle and one line drawing on screen, then add one feature at a time. @iamthwee's "Draw me a circle" is a perfect first milestone: make a circle render, then let it be moved or resized with the mouse.

Try one of these beginner projects (each teaches a clear concept):

  • Interactive sketchpad: draw freehand lines and circles, undo, clear, save. Teaches mouse events and basic raster drawing.
  • Shape editor: create/select/move/resize circles and lines. Teaches hit-testing and affine transforms.
  • Polar-coordinate visualizer: sliders for radius and angle that place points and arcs. Teaches trig and coordinate transforms.
  • Algorithm visualizer: implement the midpoint circle and Bresenham line algorithms and compare to canvas rendering. Teaches raster algorithms and stepwise debugging.
  • Tiny physics demo: a bouncing ball that collides with walls or a paddle. Teaches animation loop and simple collision math.

How to start: pick a platform (web: HTML5 Canvas or SVG; desktop: Processing). Break the work into tiny tasks: draw a static circle, add mouse input, add transforms, then polish UI. For web, the MDN Canvas tutorial is a solid starting point, and the midpoint circle algorithm explains low-level raster steps for circles. Share what platform you choose and post incremental screenshots or code — people here will help you iterate.
