This interactive sketchbook turns your drawings into tessellating patterns

Escherllate is a fun browser sketchbook built around tessellation. You draw on a central tile, and your lines instantly repeat across surrounding copies. The result is a living pattern that updates in real time as you sketch.

The system makes symmetry feel natural instead of technical. Draw across an edge and the stroke continues seamlessly on the opposite side. Different rules like rotation, translation, and glide change how the pattern behaves, so the same mark can produce different results.

It is a surprisingly playful tool for both experimentation and design. Sketch, ink, or trace modes let you shift from rough ideas to clean shapes. Everything saves locally, and the process feels less like using software and more like drawing inside a repeating system.
