Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 676 Creating a “magical checkers” illusion, part of Deke's Techniques.
- Hey gang, this is Deke MccLelland.…Welcome to Deke's Techniques.…Now last week, I showed you how to create…a classic, cafe wall illusion, in Adobe Illustrator.…This week we're still in Illustrator,…but we're going to amp things up by creating…what I'm calling, for lack of a better term,…the magical checkers illusion, like this one right here.…Now this piece of art was created by Victoria Sky,…and insofar as I know, she's the one who came up with…the illusion in the first place.…And as you can see, these lines right here,…these blue lines, are moving.…So basically we have diagonal movement in one direction,…then another.…
And, that's actually not happening,…they're just horizontal lines.…And so the consensus was that there's so much…overwhelming our senses here.…We have all these ornaments that are moving…in opposition to each other,…and then they flip from one row to the next.…But I want to draw your attention to these little…checkerboard patterns, that appear at the intersections…of the black vertical bars, and the blue horizontal ones.…
