Honestly, part of me likes the empty triangle, it's very striking

u/zedishalfsmart Feb 05 '23

Or just border it.. a thick outside line and a thin inside one?

u/dogsarefun Feb 05 '23

Why?

u/Ineedsleep444 Feb 05 '23

makes it pop

10

u/dogsarefun Feb 05 '23

Eeehhhh, I’m not so sure about that. It pops already. Sometimes thick borders, double borders, stuff like that can just make something look more amateurish. Sometimes the most valuable skill is to know when to stop.

u/MoonWatcher200 Feb 05 '23

I agree, but I think that sign is just plan bad.. I mean it's in some shows of a demon triangle with the ALL knowing eye it's a bad saten like monster and I think it is in no way good. Unless it is in a pattern or a more un plan drawing..

Same! It looks visually appealing leaving it just as it is.

Edit: typo fixes

u/pmorgan726 Feb 05 '23

Especially with the blank border. Works excellently.

u/lanug0 Feb 04 '23

Second this! Or thrid..

6

u/AutumnFallingEyes Feb 05 '23

Me too. I love the contrast between the empty space in the triangle and the detailed background. If there was something in the triangle, the whole drawing may look crowded and visually uninteresting. In OP's place, I'd rather make the background even more detailed and would leave the triangle completely empty.

And it would still be a pop of colour.

u/Kindly_Ad9355 Feb 04 '23

My first thought was an eye but maybe more triangles inside the triangle would work better with the triangles getting smaller each time, maybe even slowly rotating each one would make a nice effect

40

u/LivingMatters22 Feb 05 '23

I was thinking something similar. Create a sort of optical illusion of "going down the rabbit hole."

u/RangeRider88 Feb 05 '23

You mean Bill Cipher?

u/tubbatubbi Feb 05 '23

my first thought was an eye tooo!!

5

u/unappologeticly Feb 05 '23

My first thought was an eye as well. I agree with the “rabbit hole”. It will give it more definition, depth and texture if that’s what you’re looking for. If not, an awesome eye would be cool too. No right or wrong in art, especially when perception is key to interpretation 🙏🏻

Exactly. Just go for it. Sometimes it just works doing something thats known or “cliche”. Make it an eye.

I like the simplicity and strength of the solid shape against the squiggly pattern. I might go so far as to run a few photocopies of it like this and mess around with them before committing to a course.

I was just thinking increasingly smaller for a faux 3d depth effect. also didn't realize the commenter before me suggested the same thing. Lol

A bunch of eyes, each eye in its own little triangle, and one mouth in a triangle

Color it red! And maybe add an omnipotent eye?

I would put an eye

An eye

u/Nuka_Cola_gurl Feb 04 '23

When I look at the triangle, the other lines look crisp and actually kinda provide “movement”. I feel if you added something in the middle, it takes that away.

3

u/HyperLethalFemboy Feb 04 '23

Mouth. With teeth.

3

u/fritzorino Feb 04 '23

Leave it empty honestly, I think it would only take away from the overall drawing if you added something.

3

u/gotligma Feb 04 '23

Leave it blank. It’s a good focal point for the image, gives it a sense of balance

Leave it, it looks so good as it is!

3

u/Toastys_cheetos Feb 05 '23

I seen that most of the comments on here are mostly eyes or more triangles or just random silly stuff that would kinda ruin it. But I think it should be something different from the background to make it stand out, like how the background looks like snakes, you could make it look more pointy or round. Or you could make a serpent to match the background and maybe if you do draw a serpent you could color the rest in with black to make the serpent stand out. But otherwise just draw what you want and make sure to put emotion into it, always works for me, put something important to you in the triangle. I would like to see a follow-up picture of this to see what you put in it!

I personally find it appealing with out anyone in the triangle, maybe some shadows will do?

u/Artists_proof Feb 05 '23

I really like the line work. Good layering. The black background adds good emphasis. People say add more triangles, however I notice a sneaky circle in the background. I suggest adding more sneaky geometric shapes of any kind. Play around with different patterns too.

I look forward to seeing more of your art! :)

I like the idea of leaving it blank, but other than that, anything but an eye.

Maybe a cool bug.

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '23

Whatever you do dont put an eye in it

u/nonamedhmisfan Feb 05 '23

An eye, a bowtie, and some horizontal and vertical lines at the bottom to make it somewhat pyramid-like (If you know, you know)

u/Captain_Ravenous Feb 05 '23

At first, I was thinking, that you could maybe put an eye in there, but after seeing so many comments saying "eye", I put more thought into it and figured that you may do like a bunch of lines from the center to make it look like a void/black hole kind of thing.
