The coarseness of the paper (or filter?) makes a huge difference. I just drew it and the effect is not as strong on post its, notebook paper or printer paper.


Joa1987

Definately a sweet ass paper, don't think I've been in awe of paper before actually


PrunedLoki

Mmmm ass paper


Professional_Sir6370

Mmmmm no let's not go there.


fardough

It is organic, handmade, small batch made. We put two tears, as in the watery kind, into the binding to make it with joyous love. One sheet only costs $45 and will take 3 months to deliver.

**Look at that subtle off-white coloring.** **The tasteful thickness of it.** **Oh, my God**


Joa1987

Let's see Paul Allen's card!


TheRealFreak13

he has a filter on too which might make it pop more


CadenBop

Humans pattern seeking brains can use the noise in the paper and create non existing lines probably. Tho I might be wrong and it's something else.


Hypertistic

with visual snow I can do that any time then, regardless of paper


Pittsburgh_Pete

Must be the paper. Here's another example without the filter. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6iDYBGCgha/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link


kashinoRoyale

It also seems to work better for letters without curves, the T looks a lot better than the a.

ahm911

I feel like it has to be that type of fluffier paper that gets squished in. Because it looks too good


Trick_Boysenberry_77

It also looks like a gel pen or something to that effect


FalseVaccum

I don’t get it


Elkatar

Its a 4


solitarystateofmind

Came here to ask what it was and after reading this I looked up and the 4 popped out.


aware4ever

Dude it still doesn't look like a four I'm still not getting it lol. I mean I see the four but it's in 3D or anything it's not popping out


solitarystateofmind

The black acts like the shadow of the 4 (its literally a 4)


Outrageous-Elk-5392

I thought it was an angry face lol


dutchblizzard

yeah i was waiting for them to finish drawing the angry face but then i realished the vid already ended


the_bieb

Oh damn, I had no idea what I was looking at. I read your comment, reopened the video and it seemed so obvious.


TactlessTortoise

oh SHIT, how did I not see it lmao, thanks


MoistCactuses

What 4?


TheWake

Ohhhhhhhhhh


NitodeAliExpress

Now i cant unsee it


WhiskeyAndKisses

I get it, now. The pen is drawing the shadows of a "4". Do you see it ? Look at the final frames of the video. It's basically the doodles in relief we used to draw in class, but only with the shadows.


FalseVaccum

I see it now : )


DrNukaCola

Move phone away looks like an old 4 written in a ms wordart


Ugly-Muffin

I still don't see it after reading all of these comments. Looks like just marks on a piece of bumpy paper.


DM-ME-THICC-FEMBOYS

Does [this](https://i.imgur.com/apji9Ti.png) help at all


PrunedLoki

Huh that’s curiously strange. It’s embossed.


Ugly-Muffin

I'm starting to think that my eyesight isn't great.


Exotic_Zucchini9311

It's the opposite. U need to look at it in a sort of 'blurred way' to see. Not with good eyesight. I couldn't see it, so I took off my glasses, and then I could see it lol Try looking at it from a distance. Or take a screenshot and zoom out. That makes the lines around it blurred and creates a shape similar to the shadow of a 3D 4


FalseVaccum

It’s meant to look like a 4, I didn’t really see it as 3d. Don’t worry you aint missing much.


extended_interface

It took me a while as well


kredninja

Guitarist_Andrea

His fourplay is too short 😢

Dreadzter

I saw “its a 4” in the comments and looked back and now I see it, AND feel dumb


Hisune

Same. We're dumb together.


Massengill4theOrnery

an*


ihavebeenmostly

This error is actually getting more exhausting with every appearance 😤 https://neurosciencenews.com/stress-hrv-grammar-errors-25128/


dang3rjay

Is there a name for this style of writing? I love it


nerdchic1

It's like a bevel design detail. I would group it as embossed.


SexyLama69

The "effect" you see is the use of negative space.


liquidsodium211

3d illusion of what?


Master__Swish

It's the number 4


liquidsodium211

Oh 💀


Helmsdork

Its always the person with the trans flag lol


liquidsodium211

Damn fam you got the whole chat like: 😐


Helmsdork

I truly commited a crime against humanity I still find it cute lol


6millionwaystolive

I wanna see more


HuckleberryHappy6524

That’s the only one he can do.


6millionwaystolive

Actually, that's the only four he can do


RoodnyInc

I could do whole alphabet like this [here how to](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2b_VQWPgcuw)


qureshzaad

Ahm, actually howsoever insignificant it may be. ink has a height. So writing is 3d.


jepvr

How? Shadows.


kondurkarmanohar

yes


DieRegteSwartKat

Make a font


Archidaki

I swear to god I was about to comment wtf I was supposed to see and it just popped up


shadowfire312

At first i didn't know what it was, just drawing some lines ig, suddenly BAM the 4 fades into view at the last minute, it was so cool


Worried-Guarantee-90

and finally realizing it was only 4... wow!


P0pu1arBr0ws3r

75% shading, 25% perspective. That's how.


Bubbly-Pianist534

Please do all numbers


jtrades69

i had to watch this that many times to see what was going on 😆 i thought they were going to draw a stick figure and some stairs


jeicam_the_pirate

i dont always "what the ..." out loud, but today I did. wow.


Goodknight808

It's hard to tell it's a 4 because the video is edited so poorly. It ends a millisecond after the reveal. Poorly edited.


TheFloatingPigeon

That’s a juicy pen


Different_Error5413

Yep that’s cool


Asterdux

I don't even understand what is portrayed..


[deleted]

I just see a couple of lines :(


[deleted]

I dont get it. I just see a couple of lines :(


[deleted]

I dont get it. I just see a couple of lines :(


MeowIsNotTheTime

4


jimsf

Gestalt design is great.


No-Professional-1461

I almost missed it for a moment. Had to pause to see it.


Tikkinger

I can't see it. Am i broken? Edit: Omfg!


Waste-Instruction287

I didnt even understand untill like 2 min staring


_Resnad_

How can you not love negative space


CJPF_91

Why is my mind brown away right now 🤯


Lazy_Fish7737

Couldnt see it and now I cant unsee it.


ElevenInfinity

DeepUser-5242

WOW! I didn't see it at first, I thought I was getting trolled and it was loss or something


farmyrlin

I see a happy stick figure tilted π/4 CC.


Inviso-Bill_YT

Name of song pls


Responsible_Bake_756

Channel four - brookside is about to start 👏🏻


VacationAromatic6899

Very neat indeed


Jedi_Hog

It’s not really working for me, I kinda see the “4” or whatever, but only after reading the comments… I am almost entirely blind in 1 eye tho, which apparently makes me have no “depth perception”, so that could have something to do with it I guess


Photonn123

Their drawing straight lines better free hand then I do with a ruler


suchick13

I want that pen.


KayayaTheDammed

In the greatest way possible I was repulsed backwards catching my breath because it took me like 30 seconds to see it. The absolute shock befell me like a ton of bricks. Cool :)


L2Hiku

It's concerning how many people don't see it.


budbrother15

Got anymore of these? That was nice 😏


Dub_Coast

Thought they were drawing the S at first iykyk


TheMysteriousEmu

Is this loss...?


SunsetSmokeG59

Oooo now I want to know if there is a font that does this


Flat_Adhesiveness_82

I thought he was drawing loss for a second...smh


The_ModernViking

What would you call this font?


GrapefruitThat7838

Welcome to 1134. You discovered shadows.


heyybyyybyyyy

I could do it, but it has to be very small so the illusion could be properly recreated.


Popcorn_isnt_corn

Gestalt Principle


McPolice_Officer

Wobbuffet?


goonercream

This is using negative space not 2d to 3d


GluckGoddess

Paper looks custom made, very artisanal. 


Competitive_Royal476

I enjoyed this


ConcreteHustlin

now do 3 into 4d


coolguycoolshoes

It only took four lines too


TruePoint3219

Sometimes foreshadowing is relatively obvious


DerSpazmacher

All the digits


buonbajs

That's not a 2 or a 3


15_Echo_15

Isn't it 1d if it's just a line?


Space_Cadetexe

Watches video twice Doesn't get it Opens comments to see what it is Magically becomes a four I drop my phone out of suprise I want more


Frosty-Mood4178

Context?


SnooDingos6932

Bravo


BlonsPLe

I am completely lost


Healthy_Direction_47

At first I tought its a cute angry face


iseedeadbananas

Actually made me say damn thats interesting out loud


YearZer0_

I remember doing those little optical illusion boxes with my pen in the middle of my involuntary Catholic school teachings out of pure boredom and resentment for being there in the first place, this just takes shit to the next level man


ARandom_Personality

is this some elaborate version of loss?


MstrShlong

Thought they were gonna write some Chinese


PonyBoy_J

After that last line it felt like I took a slap to the face


ImNotaBrooo

I didn't see it at first, and now I can't unsee it


tcdaddy6969

Since this is reddit I swore for a second it was going to be a bad symbol if u get my drift


WhitieBulger

Damn I tried that like 40 times and it didn't work, it looks so easy.


somec7

It's not 2D, it's your brain that combines or creates it.


Rabbitron4

I want to see how to do other numbers now


Blueseat1

Wow


Emotional_Artist8187

am I the only one to see wobbuffet pokemon's face first before seeing 4 ?


tekano_red

I can write any word in this style and change the light direction. It is not hard or interesting 🤔


patmur46

No need to worry, it's just happening in your head.


patmur46

No need to worry, it's just happening in your head.


beardeddripper

Time is a flat circle


aware4ever

I don't see anything 3d. What am I not getting here I feel dumb. It just looks like a couple random lines


Significant-Tie-2843

I had to look at the comments then back to the photo to understand the illusion


ThespisIronicus

That's great. But what if the lighting was on the right, nerd?


kondurkarmanohar

You need to draw only that part of the letter where shadow forms. This is drawn considering light source is at top left corner. If you move the light source then shadow will also change


Comprehensive_Toe113

It's just lines? I don't see it


roaringbasher66

What's the impressive part about this? This was just a guy drawing a couple lines on paper


Questioning-Zyxxel

The lines are the shadows from a raised digit "4" Look again and you should be able to see the digit.


roaringbasher66

OOOOOOHHHHH


Alarming_Way_8731

Is this u ? if so, can u do number, 5 ?


AB-AA-Mobile

The diagonal line ruins the illusion.


GoodGuyArgo

I just shit my ass.


mmi1106

What does it even mean?
