This is an easy optical illusion that gives a depth to the page, as drawing is behind a cage or fence, thick window blinds, hiding under floorboards, or in a similar barrier. Here’s a good use of all that crumply notebook paper that gets cleaned out of the book bags. It is the perfect surface to create a feeling of depth.

Notebook Paper “Behind the Lines” Drawings Everyone has drawn on notebook paper a few times. This will bring out the effect, and be pretty impressive. With the pen, draw random horizontal lines over the top of the image in random places. This last step requires a good white gel pen. This should already be looking cool, but there is one more final touch to bring it home. Finish up by running white horizontal lines throughout the image.

Glitch steps: draw an image in black, trace the edges in blue and red markers for a “three dimensional” appearance, then add blue and red horizontal lines. If blue is on the right, make them jut out to the right. Make sure they go in the direction of the side they are on. These are little horizontal lines coming from the outline in random places. Do the same from the other side of the image using a red marker.įor both colors, draw some “motion” hash marks. You can do it touching the black or just a little separated from it, depending how “glitchy” you want it. It doesn’t matter which side, as long as you keep all on one side. Using a turquoise or blue maker, trace along one side of the image from the outer edges to any details. First, draw a simple picture of anything (cartoon characters, food, an emoji, your own original design, etc.) in black marker. This is incredibly easy, and gives the appearance of, well, a computer glitch. It is an easy way to add “tech” motion to any drawing. These are easy enough for all artist levels to try, but have cool enough results to give even a first time artist something to show off: The Glitch Effect The “Glitch Effect” has been showing up on many artist sites and in tutorials. For those times when boredom sets in, or some down time is needed, here are three cool drawing and doodling “special effects” techniques that are showing up all over the Internet. This means plenty of opportunities to learn something new and creative. It is Spring Break or intercession time for may school-aged kids.
