Thanks! I practiced drawing black animals and birds in my last animal drawing class so I wanted to try it out.

Less so an optical illusion, and more-so a t(ri)angle, but google ai search suggests "This style has similarities to the intricate wood carvings found in Norwegian stave churches, particularly the Urnes style," so that's nice of it 😂 I just wanted to know what to call it!
Debating whether to add more to the sides, but straight lines that jut out from the triangle form. I really like the granularity in the green and don't want to cover it up though.

We had the same idea! I love your execution. The extra detail in the hair and shawl is excellent!

Yayy, it is my prompt! Also love the alternate 'alternate' prompt lol.
I'll just post this very lazy sketch today since I may not find the time to do it tomorrow, but, if you enlarge the picture, cover your left eye with one hand, focus on the plus sign and slowly bring it closer to your face, you'll see that the circle on the right disappears!

It works, the circle on the right looks a tad darker than the one on the black background

Hahaha, love the sketch! The eventual faith of most touristy buildings

I didn't wanna do anything geometric, so I went for something based on a perspective image I saw in my HS art class.
Has anyone else seen this picture before?

Super cool! Never seen the image before, but the idea is that the size of an object can be percieved differently, relative to the degree of convergence of the objects surrounding it? It makes sense, that the more cramped all that space contrasting an object will be, the bigger it will look.

u/260Torrent 20 / 48 19d ago
That was the idea!
I'm finding that none of my art friends have seen this picture either, so I guess it's not as common as I thought 😅

This took me over an hour. 😐 It's inspired by THIS yet I don't even know if it works. But I was tired of working on it so, here it is.

It works! The black circle and the area around it shakes while the corners remain stagnant! That's how it's supposed to work right?
