Sun, 22 Dec 2024 17:00:00 +0900

If a picture is worth a thousand words, does that mean a picture within a picture is worth two thousand? Here on pixiv, you’ll sometimes come across illustrations with the tag #絵中絵 (#enakae, lit. “drawing inside a drawing”). By featuring another illustration within their drawing, artists can add another dimension or extra level of mystery to their art. Sometimes, the scene can be as straightforward as a character working on a painting, while other times, the characters within the drawing might be looking at the main subject of the drawing (drawingception much?) or directly at the viewer.

Take a look at these illustrations, and you may just find yourself drawn into these works.

Picture frames can be used to frame (excuse us for the pun) an interesting shot in the background, used as a border to create a mirror image, or even ignored entirely—the unexpectedness of a person emerging from a frame is a great way to blur the lines between fantasy and reality.
