Learn The Basics of Shading

Shading is one of the easiest ways to add depth, contrast, character and movement to your drawings. Shading captures the shadows and highlights within an image to help make artwork more realistic and interesting. There are several types of shading and many ways to go about doing it.

Texture and Pattern

Texture and pattern are two of the elements and principals of art that help to add interest and depth when used in a design.

Optical Illusions

Optical illusions involve images that are sensed and perceived to be different from what they really are. This causes the brain to see one thing or misinterpret what it sees when the image is actually something completely different. The images in an optical illusion are examples of how the mind and the eyes can play tricks on each other. These illusions can be confusing and sometimes dizzying to look at but are always fun to create.
