Japanese artist Mika Aoki uses the ethereal quality of glass to get us to look differently at subjects like viruses, reproduction and the origins of life.
Though I guess for me it’s less of a joke and more of a “Look at this reference I find it amusing. LOOK AT IT.” And then no one else finds it amusing or at least not after the second or fifth time.
I’m replaying Wild Arms 2 and I am doing Ashley’s opening - saving this kid. The kid’s name…

Clearly, the upper part is darker than the bottom one.
Or is it? Cover the borderline/center of the figure with your finger to find out.
lol XD color illusion again, I talked about this (darker and lighter surroundings) on the previous post about color illusion. Yes yes, this too.
Take a look at this image, You see embedded spirals of green, pinkish-orange, and blue? Incredibly, the green and the blue spiralsare the same color.
The reason they look different colors is because our brain judges the color of an object by comparing it to surrounding colors. In this…
This is…what I wanted to explain but I can’t explain it well. This is actually very important for artists. To make harmonized colors, you can…no, even you should take advantages from this.
Theoretically, color illusion is hard to do, but actually it’s not that hard, use your sense and feelings. You can sharpening you sense by..experiments and looking at a lot of artworks (analyzing and observing them are also important. You can pick color for digital artist). And like the basics always say: When drawing, always look the whole picture as a whole. Don’t too focused on the base colors per detail. Sometimes red doesn’t need to be red, blue doesn’t need to be blue.. even you can use light yellow or light gray to make “white” and so on, depends on the average color tone. Except you want to make the color stands out. Even the same color, in different surrounding (darker or lighter) would slightly look different.
Actually a lot of artists already knew about this naturally without even know the theory..because it’s just natural..I mean, it’s actually something normal for artist because artists look the colors in the artwork just same like the appreciator would see. There’s a lot of people who still think coloring means add pure colors on their artwork..to color (except if it’s intentionally). but it needs some “illusion” to make the whole picture blend. (I’m not talking about the pic above anyway, the pic above is only the example of color illusion)
