Drawings Featuring Ripples - Making Waves

Mon, 16 Dec 2024 17:00:00 +0900

Naturally occurring patterns can be found everywhere in our lives, one of the most common being ripples. Easily set off by something as minor as a raindrop or a pebble, these rings continue to expand and move along the surface of the water as though Mother Nature herself were painting them. Although beautiful enough on their own, artists on pixiv have taken ripples to another level to create otherworldly images that will make you rethink the way you view these undulating rings. Sometimes, all it takes is a single drop of water to reveal the truth or put a story into motion.

Although rainy days have their own merits, the moment the sky clears and the clouds begin to part is so beautiful that it’s like a work of art itself.

Getting it perfect may be difficult in real life, but seeing damp locks in anime and manga really gets its appeal across. The way the strands cling to the skin and fall just perfectly in all the right places is part of what makes wet hair so attractive.
