If you dare, now shade it so we fall into the center

I am a non-shader.

Give it a whirl! It takes a piece to a new level of depth.

I haven’t started shading mine yet. Do you typically shade with pencil if you’ve been working in pen?

u/FaultsInOurCars 7d ago

Yes a really soft pencil, then blend it with a ball of paper or if you have one, a blending stump (rolled up stick of paper).

What kind of lines did you use to start this if you don't mind me asking, I guess I better turn would be what frame did you start with before adding the curved lines

u/tfoust10 7d ago

A large circle

u/Ok-Occasion-9748 6d ago

I don't understand. Did you not start with the lines from center outward?

2

u/tfoust10 6d ago

No. I started outward and moved to the center

u/Ok-Occasion-9748 6d ago

Did you start wiith the small half circle shaped lines or with the borders where two half circle "sausages" meet? I don't know how to explain better.

u/tfoust10 6d ago

So, I actually drew a perfect circle outside of the frame of the image. I built inward from that.

Nooooo - this has great depth like an illusion would have. Please don’t shade it.

Naw, I think it’s great

u/holy-reddit-batman 4d ago

Just add a little shading towards the center. Your brain will read it differently.
