This is brilliant. From absolute basics through to a working Mandala, I think a lot of people will find this really fun and a great way to learn canvas.

Thank you for the article! Unlike many Canvas tutorials it’s super friendly to beginners. And may I suggest a few nitpicky things to make your sample’s markup perfect? Add lang=“en” attribute to html, remove type=“text/css” from link (rel=“stylesheet” is more than enough) and remove closing slash from input as all the other self-closing tags don’t have one.

Its not often that I find both the code and the application quite so magical.
