Billy arms and hands
They are used to hold and control the height of the brush and even apply different amounts of pressure if needed.
Billy's body is made out of LEGO parts
He is about 25 cm tall and its trunk hosts a small (LEGO) microcomputer that is in charge of controlling him.
Billy uses a brush to draw
He can also apply different amounts of pressure to make thicker or thiner lines.
Billy eyes and mouth
