tutorials

you should at least be at ease with the first seven tutorials

https://processing.org/tutorials/

also with tutorials

• Arrays

• and Images and pixels

the others are all cool too, but too advanced.

reference

Also make yourself comfy with the reference

You don't need to understand every command, but understand the structure of the refernce and why there are different sections here

https://processing.org/reference/

Also make yourself comfy with the site itself - that you see what is there

The big picture

creating a good generative art:

well you need to learn how to program but moreover

you need a vision of your art

what you want to show and what you want to express

;-)
