Have you tried this classic optical illusion painting technique? Here's how… Procreate
Why this is this important? It’s basically how we look at things, or how certain objects become noticeable when they have a strong contrast. And by incorporating them into our work we can visually control how objects are read – or not read – by their roles in an image. If they’re important then you should add contrast, which makes them stand out. Objects of lesser importance need to retain their low contrast, so a viewer know it’s there but won’t be distracted from the focal point of the image.
This will free up a lot of values and give you an opportunity to think about the effect of controlling contrast. This also helps you to prioritise focal points over less-important details. These two images show how the focal point is emphasised through the use of limited values.I always start with sketches, and Procreate’s Sketch brushes are ideal for this stage. The drawing helps me to see where I’m going. It’s a quick way to confirm if an idea will work or if I need to take another approach.
I want to show strong, vertical trees with a hint of a large silhouette within the treeline. It’s going to be a little flat, but there’s a good opportunity to explore rhythmic shapes and patterns.Although four values are never really going to be enough to describe much, they’ll behave differently depending on their surroundings. For example, a light grey on a white background will appear darker than the same grey on a black background.
An example of how I’ll use simultaneous contrast to show more values is in the tree details. The darker trunk has light grey patterns and the same light grey patterns are present in the white bark, but will appear slightly different from each other.When it comes to the details, it’s really all about describing silhouettes. Here’s a close-up of a tree and a branch sticking out.

Potential impact of wearables on physical activity guidelines and interventions: opportunities and challengesHundreds of millions of people own wearable devices capable of tracking their movement patterns.1 Accelerometers are also increasingly the preferred tool to measure physical activity in research studies.2 However, national and international physical activity guidelines, which recommend adults undertake at least 150–300 min of moderate intensity physical activity (MPA) or 75–150 min of vigorous intensity physical activity (VPA) per week, remain largely based on epidemiological studies in which physical activity was assessed using self-reported questionnaires. It is now known that such self-report measures generally overestimate moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), are unlikely to accurately measure light intensity physical activity, and cannot capture very short bouts of incidental activity of any intensity.3 These limitations impede the development of guidelines that reflect the true dose–response relationship between physical activity and health. Recent prospective studies using wearable devices have started to transform our understanding of the association between physical activity and health outcomes. These suggest that the dose–response relationship between physical activity and health is steeper than self-report data suggest, with substantially smaller doses of device-measured MVPA (~40–80 min/week) associated with benefits similar to those from achieving the currently recommended levels (based on self-report), and an even greater benefit of being highly active than previously appreciated from self-reported data.4 5 Such data have also demonstrated that just 3–4 min/day of device-measured intermittent VPA is associated with 30%–40% lower risk …
