I hope all the drawings are being logged so the followup can be "1000 attempts at the starbucks mermaid", kinda like the "draw me a sheep facing left" project: http://www.aaronkoblin.com/work/thesheepmarket/

Reminds me of the exhibit of inventive pictures made by students of various ages in the Bycicle Museum in Sakai, Osaka, Japan.

For example, one drawing was of a bike / submarine hybrid - from a kid who likely wanted to explore the ocean.

The bicycle one is always fun.

I suspect if you know that a bike frame is typicall two triangles for strength you’d get it right, some of those are hilarious though.

That would be quite unfair and non representative since the given pen size is way too big to actually reproduce the Starbucks logo, even if you had the memory and talent.

considering you can swap colors back and forth, I'd say it's mostly possible (to draw thinner than the minimum just draw one color, overwrite with another)

With a mouse? I'd be impressed.

With a touchpad? Still impressed.

With a touchscreen? Maaaaaaybe but wow tedious.

Tried it with a stylus and with a touch screen: neither were supported.

Eh?I just finished drawing them all on a touchscreen. Android phone to be specific.

Only problem was I don't know how to draw

You can draw finer lines by drawing a thick one and then erasing part of the line with the background color? On an android phone?

I'm extremely impressed.

When I try to do stuff like that on Android I'm lucky if the input drawing box stays still. I easily agree that they're possible to draw, just not at all easy to use multiple colors to precisely remove a fraction of a line width from an existing path.

i'd be shocked if there were more logos than penises.

I hope too, I don't want my drawing efforts be wasted.
