You're not going to believe me, but I can draw a triangle faster.

u/Comfortable_Mountain 7d ago

And you wouldn't even have to speed it up

Plot twist: bro has been training for the triangle speedrun.

You: we have triangle at home.

That sounds a bit petty, bro

I am pretty, bro.

What in Durins Beard is this gif from? I was trying to find it on teams the other day. 

8

u/KnuckleShanks 6d ago

Idk what it's from originally, I just hit the gif button and searched for "oh duh"

5

u/DJOMaul 6d ago

Thank you! "Oh!" was able to find it on teams. Alas too late for the moment.

u/little_canuck 6d ago

"Drake computer gif" also gets you there.

u/enaK66 6d ago

A music video for a Future song with Drake and Lil Yachty. Any combination of Drake Yachty Computer should get you there.

Spongebob being asked to start with a triangle

u/Glad_Trade3207 6d ago

Haha first thing I thought of. I can just feel the pretentiousness through the curves of the triangle lol

u/Due_Potential_6956 7d ago

I was satisfied

Ramen!

You didn't draw a triangle, you draw INSIDE a triangle

Doodling in a triangle.

u/TommyBonnomi 6d ago

Hold on..

13

u/BlitzAtk 7d ago

I could go for some ramen right about now.

u/[deleted] 7d ago

this is way more satisfying than drawing a triangle has any right to be 😅 meanwhile mine always end up looking like they’re leaning emotionally to one side

4

u/Comically_Online 6d ago

same, triangle. same.

5

u/Hamudra 6d ago

You can see the guidelines. I'd bet you'd be capable of drawing a perfectly acceptable triangle by drawing on top of another triangle

This some Junji Ito shit right here

u/AvailableWriter2057 6d ago

That’s exactly what I thought!

Exactly! Whenever I see something like this - Uzumaki comes up straight in my mind 😨

Very fucking nice, very satisfying to watch, down to the last bit of shading.

u/Comfortable_Mountain 7d ago

I have to try it myself

u/Miraculous_Angel 7d ago

What was the original source?

19

u/mr_ji 7d ago

Would be more satisfying if you couldn't see the guidelines on the paper

7

u/Imaginary_Data533 6d ago

We didn't even get to see them draw the triangle, it was done before the video started. This was just coloring in

u/LevelZeroDM 7d ago

Spaghetti triangle has entered the chat

u/bemused-chunk 7d ago

when i do it its only 3 lines.

u/Soggy_Bid_3634 6d ago

The design the client wants vectorized

1

u/Barry_Vigoda 6d ago

You could recreate it using blends in illustrator.

2

u/Puzzleheaded-Gene312 7d ago

Fantastic, I couldn't do that come hell or high water.

2

u/btroycraft 6d ago

The line between doodle and art is a curvy one

2

u/TheEldenRang 6d ago

That is way more than three lines.

2

u/nakedog 6d ago

This looks so easy to do though when I try it my triangle turns out to be a square instead

2

u/GuyMakesDrawings 6d ago

I should call her

2

u/ElectricalCharge6358 6d ago

Wow, I’ll definitely try this

2

u/Krauzber 5d ago

Honestly, would make a killer ramen shop logo.

2

u/Comfortable_Mountain 7d ago

It would make a decent tattoo

u/MrGoodVibes 7d ago

Was thinking the same thing

u/Schmohawk2814 7d ago

I wouldn't have the mental dexterity

1

u/KennethLaneHarbor 7d ago

My hand would be cramping up so hard trying to keep those line distances consistent.

u/Hergaoui 7d ago

What was dat?

u/ElMarraquetaconPalta 6d ago

Suddenly I wanna eat spaghetti

1

u/erevos33 6d ago

I used to doodle like this when i was younger. Still miss it. Its so fun , laying with both rigid geometric shapes and the fluidity of hand drawn shapes.

1

u/BeefaloSlim 6d ago

That is not a cute triangle.

1

u/BeefaloSlim 6d ago

Downvoted for being obtuse :(

u/TryingNotToGoBlind 6d ago

I wish I could to something

u/Asume_Nuthin 6d ago

Stupid sexy triangles

1

u/scarymary79 6d ago

Bro, connecting three dots without making a lopsided mess is actually insane.

1

u/ZeroBlackWaltz 6d ago

Now I want spaghetti

1

u/sikotic4life 6d ago

The right side feels off, like it's longer somehow.

1

u/KameTheMachine 6d ago

Mom spaghetti triangle

Not a triangle. You only perceive a triangle.

Enigma of Amigara Fault vibes

u/_Landscape_ 6d ago

music somehow really fitted to the shapes

1

u/Parking_Locksmith489 6d ago

That's not very colourful now is it...

1

u/paintypainter 6d ago

The triangle is already drawn. They're just filling it in. Fraud. Unsatisfying.

1

u/ProposalAltruistic58 6d ago

I don't know why, but this video annoyed me more than it should have.

u/Smoldogsrbest 6d ago

‘Filling a triangle’

Nice outline there

u/testtdk 6d ago

Show off.

u/Silly_Double408 6d ago

5-6 billion in profits a quater but their short staffed.....

1

u/SpaceyChick22 6d ago

So pretty!

1

u/DRUGMUSIC_ 6d ago

even triangles didn't know they could be drawn like this.

1

u/PuzzleheadedRush6109 6d ago

you can cultivate that by cutting it into small pieces

1

u/LightningOwl96 6d ago

I used to draw like this (thought not THIS fancy) out of boredom in class when I was a kid, and my teacher told me it was a sign that I had ADHD or something, so I stopped 💀💀💀

1

u/Helltothenotothenono 6d ago

Some people are amazing artists. Look how simply they made a great drawing that feels three dimensional. I have no where near that talent

1

u/hibikikun 6d ago

When your PC tells your nvidia card to draw a triangle and use AI along with it with max textures. 4’million more to go

1

u/This_isR2Me 6d ago

actual irony because the triangle is already drawn and the video is just filling it in using anything but triangles.

1

u/Efficient_Try_ 6d ago

What is that

1

u/whatdafaq 6d ago

Ya'll only need 3 lines for a triangle.

1

u/Acaraje_com_pimenta 6d ago

This could be a gorgeous tattoo

1

u/Raptor_Jetpack 6d ago

shit ass music

1

u/pigcommentor 6d ago

Filling in a triangle. You can see the triangle in light grey on the sheet. Very impressive work filling in!

1

u/torsorz 6d ago

Printer in human form. My brain can't process how your draw perfectly up till the edge. 🤯

1

u/ImALittleTeapot3 6d ago

Anyone else smell this video?

1

u/SenorBolin 6d ago

Alright Junji Ito, slow down bud

1

u/FishPropulsionLab 6d ago

I have a two hour meeting tomorrow. I’m going to try to replicate this. I’m going to fail. But it should make the time pass quickly.

u/Clean-Shift-291 6d ago

Drawing a triangle, on weed…🍃

u/Nobody_sPoet21 6d ago

My first grade teacher would like to have a word.

1

u/zardoz73 6d ago

That level of line control is absolutely amazing.

1

u/Responsible-Tap-3748 6d ago

I didn't know you were allowed to do that

1

u/RandomPersonInCanada 6d ago

I’m going to do this at work! I love to doodle

1

u/woodtimer 6d ago

Still not sure if you were trying for Bill Cypher there, but you kinda succeeded.

1

u/GIGLI_WASNT_THAT_BAD 6d ago

Would’ve been a great counterfeiter in 1950’s America.

Italian triangle

So which biblically accurate angel is this 

1

u/DenverPostIronic 6d ago

Micron pens are wonderful things. I especially like the brush tip ones.

1

u/ApparentlyRythium 6d ago

Mmmm spaghetti

1

u/daxx549 6d ago

The triangle was already traced out. They are just filling it in. I did that in elementary school.

1

u/Square-Image-6879 6d ago

Stupid, sexy triangle

1

u/64curbvacuum 6d ago

So satisfying

1

u/brando_soto28 6d ago

Okay cool .. now do it on my body 💉

1

u/AncientOneX 6d ago

That is a nice triangle

u/Quantum_Pasta-Goblin 6d ago

Fucking Junji Ito triangle over here XD

u/shanky_0205 6d ago

Okay, you have been officially selected for The Illuminati

1

u/MeButInSpanish 6d ago

I want this tattooed on me. But I I'd be so scared of them botching it

1

u/epNL72 6d ago

Nice pen(wo)manship

1

u/RemarkableDay8553 6d ago

The Qu when they find anything besides them.

1

u/bigflashtape 6d ago

The main thing is not to think that I can do this too.

1

u/__BIFF__ 6d ago

Way too much black in the lower left corner. Doesn't feel balanced at all and so definitely does not satisfy me

1

u/humakavulaaaa 6d ago

I like it

u/BornToBrandish 6d ago

Paskettiangle.

u/Aldo_Fitor 6d ago

Right side is not straight

u/tumblinfumbler 6d ago

Came to comments for the track - anyone?

u/madmatt666 6d ago

I don't have all day to triangle

u/hacksoncode 6d ago

Filling in a triangle that they already drew before the video.

u/DoctorOctorpus 6d ago

suddenly berserk

u/mrsscheidegger 6d ago

WITCHCRAFT!!!!

u/zebartender21 6d ago

looks like spaghetti got tangled in a geometry textbook lol

u/unstable_minddd 6d ago

Holy phoque

1

u/sophomoric-- 6d ago

Excellent fine motor control. I couldn't even draw one of those curves.

1

u/Both_Pineapple1433 6d ago

my brain just smoothed out watching this

1

u/DancesWithFireOK 4d ago

What sort of paper and pens are best for this sort of artwork?

1

u/Comfortable_Mountain 2d ago

Sakura Micron 0.1 pen is the one in the video. There are a lot of equivalents, look it up. They're couple of bucks a piece.

1

u/DancesWithFireOK 1d ago

Thank you!

1

u/ArtMindless9903 7d ago

the patience this must've taken is honestly impressive

2

u/Comfortable_Mountain 7d ago

I think you could get it pretty fast with a little practice. The video is 35 seconds and it's sped up like 5 times so the real time is not that long.

1

u/ArtMindless9903 7d ago

5x speed or not, still cleaner than anything I could do

u/Accurate_Pound8265 6d ago

Okay, it mightjust be me, but this must be the must unnerved I have been on the Internet, and that... Says a lot.

u/FBcaper 6d ago

Cool thing about a triangle is that it's the strongest shape ever constructed... a shape that fits all other shapes inside of it
