Circle Line Art School Episode #330: How to Draw an Optical Illusion: Find The Black Dots: The Herman Illusion
Step by Step:
On grid paper draw a series of circles in a grid, connect them with grey lines, fill in background black. For this drawing I used a 4B pencil.
More information on the Scintillating Grid Illusion:
The Scintillating Grid Illusion is thought to be based on a neural process called lateral inhibition, the capacity of an excited neuron to reduce the activity of its neighbors. The Scintillating Grid illusion was discovered by E. Lingelbach in 1994 and is similar to the Hermann Grid Illusion, which was noticed by Ludimar Hermann in 1870. The Hermann Grid Illusion does not have white circles.
