Make it in TelegramLines do the work
Op art needs strong contrast and consistent line width. Ask for thin stripes that swell where the face curves. Too many colors weaken the trick, so start with black and white and add one accent in a second round. If the face disappears, rerun with 'clearer eyes, thicker lines near the mouth, slightly lighter background'. Try a few reruns, since small changes shift the effect a lot.
Posters and caution
Bold stripes can tire the eyes, so use the portrait at moderate size on posters, cards and avatars. Very high contrast patterns can be uncomfortable for some people, including those sensitive to flicker, so avoid animating it. Print on matte paper for crisp lines. The picture is an original creation inspired by a broad movement and does not copy a named artist.
Tips
- Stay with black and white at first.
- Ask for curved stripes.
- Keep the background a simple grid.
- Try one bright accent after.
