I’m working through this with some customisations and wondering if it’s possible to have multiple brushes — static brush size and following each fingertip. I’m stuck on how to do this efficiently instead of creating ten separate circles?

Hey! Just FYI, the link to github here includes the end bracket so it doesn't work properly.
