Neato Patterns

Okay, so I found some patterns that sort of look like the designs I'm working on.


This design reminds me of what I'm working on for my abstraction of broken glass, in that it places shapes together that are similar but not identical. What I like about this picture is that the sizes of each piece are varied.


This pattern places triangular shapes next to each, similar to how I am drawing triangles close together in one of my other designs. The colors in this pattern are a little brighter than I have in mind for mine though.

46. Illusion of Motion by Multiple Image


Animation smears are fairly common uses of the illusion of motion by multiple image. The smears create the illusion of extremely fast motion.

45. Illusion of Motion by Blurred Outline


While not blurred in the normal sense, the extra lines extending past the figure create a sketchier blur. The contours of the figure are not cleanly cut, and the motion lines create an illusion of motion.

44. Illusion of Motion by Repeated Figure







The sequence of panels shows the motion of this character as he gets hit by a, um, bucket.

43. Anticipated Motion


At the start of this animation, both figures are in positions that imply motion. Neither character is in a position that can be easily maintained (such as standing or sitting), so the viewer will naturally assume that some kind of motion will be carried out. In this instance, said motion occurs after a second or so.

42. Spacial Puzzles


The flat black background of this panel makes the foreground and background slightly hard to distinguish. This is not helped by the lack of contrast distinguishing between fore and background.
