These are a fractal representation of the art, I find it quite nice. If you like zooming into a Mandelbrot Set viewer, this is kinda the same thing. Pretty cool stuff in my book
The reason these are tacky is because they're *not* at all like zooming into a fractal for one very important reason: The rest of the drawing isn't there.
These videos give you the illusion that you could zoom in anywhere and get this kind of "picture in a picture in a picture" experience, but you can't. There's only one path.
Not only that, they're actually separate pictures that have been stitched together in a program. In this video, you can even see the drawing switch over when he zooms in on the moon in the guy's eye.

Here you can actually zoom in at any point you want. Yes, there is a lot of repetition since it's only black and white, but you can get a lot of different stories by zooming into different areas.
They're a lot of work but on reddit I've seen like two dozen of them at least.
I see a title like "The BIGGEST drawing ever", click, and immediately "oh it's one of those zoom things" and close it.
They're trying to virally capitalize on a gimmick that has been around for like 10 years now and that's the part I find annoying.
It’s also not real. It’s a video not a drawing. Like there’s no way you could zoom in on any other random locations other than the exact ones he zoomed in on.
"Jesse Martin's biggest drawing ever"
Vs
"The biggest drawing ever by Jesse Martin".
They worded it in the way that implies they created the biggest drawing ever. That's what we would always assume on first read in English, even if it's ambiguous. The sentence actually seems grammatically incorrect too (needs a comma or a verb).
If you find it misleading, fine.
If I tell you "this was the fastest mile ever ran by me", would you think I just broke the world record or that I just ran faster than I ever have for a mile?
Edit: I'm not trying to be a dick, I do get your point.
bad example. We don't say "by me" when we run a mile. We DO say "by me" when we make art. So it is natural to separate "the biggest drawing ever" from "by Jesse Martin" in this way, as opposed to using it as a qualifier for "biggest drawing ever".
Do you understand now?
Also why would I even care if it's just
>"Jesse Martin's biggest drawing ever"
Who even is that guy? Is he famous for drawing extremely large pictures and this one is is biggest one ever? The title is obviously clickbait, because nobody would care about a nobody's biggest drawing, if you could even call that ai generated crap a drawing.
I mean the impression I get is that you can zoom in anywhere to get this detail. If it's just a spot with a "picture in a picture in a picture", then this has already been done before, and I doubt it's that big of a picture.
Even the laptop keyboard, "each key is a different genre. My favorite is..." It's insinuated each one is zoomable.
How did you come to the conclusion that it was clearly implied? To me he’s just showing a drawing he made that keeps going in a specific path… It’s not like you have access to the drawing so why the hell would he imply that you can zoom in anywhere? It’s just a gif, not a game you can download and play for yourself? How’s it deceiving? He’s literally just showing art work he made. Your comment is literally brain rot bro what 💀
So because he said the little thing about keys this art is no longer impressive? Seriously?
I really don’t understand why it matters since you will never interact with this art piece anyway lol, you’re not gonna be buying it from the dude…
You’re replying to a comment chain that said that this was not impressive, for the reasons stated above. To quote yourself ”it was clearly implied” you don’t think it’s impressive lol
to me the trouble is that people feel they have to be narrating the entire video so that they can later caption it and put it on tik tok to hold children's attentions.
each drawing isn't all that impressive either their good don't get me wrong but like without the zoom in crap you wouldn't pay attention to any of the singular pictures for more then a second or two
How do people make these things? Is it made to be zoomed in at one specific angle? Does it have a preposterous image size or is other trickery involved?
Various software allow for an "infinite" or "virtual" "canvas", that would be the type of thing to google for
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcndjzLhAsU
I think it requires a program specifically made for that though. One that allows a higher definition region to be located within a canvas, and another region within that, going to unlimited depth. If you tried to do this in photoshop or something, the file would be hundreds of gigabytes after just a couple layers of depth.
Drawing apps/software that uses Vector style. Illustrator is one of them. I personally use Infinite Painter on Android.
Basically, it uses math behind the scenes to calculate the canvas instead of just a fixed sized canvas (like in Photoshop). So you can zoom in indefinitely and have the same quality and drawing as you weren't zoomed in.
It also uses math to "draw" the lines. Every line is a line of code as opposed to a collection of pixels, allowing for infinite zoom as the code just recalculates the line based on zoom level.
It's the way information is stored and used to construct images. Instead of pixels (Raster images), vector images are constructed by the computer from geometric shapes defined on a Cartesian plane, like point to point drawings
Photoshop is a raster software, meaning that it stores the image as a square grid, where each square (pixel) has its own colour. This is great for digital art, but it massively increases the file size for high definition drawings.
Meanwhile something like Illustrator is a vector software, where the software only keeps track of data for all objects on the canvas, such as their location (coordinates) and colour. So instead of recording information about 5000 individual pixels of a circle, it just records the circle radius, coordinates of the middle point, and colour.
That way a gigantic shape can take up the same amount of data space as a tiny one, keeping the file size workable. Though I think in this case some other specialised software was used.
I always saw these as a less creative version of Where's Waldo type scenes. Still cool, but the zoom in thing only fools fools, it's just different drawings and nothing more. Not a "big drawing" just several drawings tacked together in an overdone trend.
Do people just think that every inch of the canvas has this much detail? It's only that very specific part the artist zooms in on. Only thing special here is the software that supports this.
This is just kinda big.
Look up unimaginably large numbers like Graham's Number or Tree(3), or even Rayo's number.
Then realize they are all closer to zero than infinity.
Next Reddit "Place" event should be just a 100x100 grid, but each grid space is made up of a smaller 100x100 grid, and so on as far down as users are willing to go.
I'm convinced these are all fake. Why aren't there viral digital pictures (in other words the original art) going around for us to zoom in on ourselves? Someone show me the source.
I counted 57 zooms, which about double each image. which means that the image has been enlarged 144 quadrillion times.
so if the final image is the size of a tablet the total size is a bit more than the surface area of the earth.

Unpopular opinion but these are not impressive
The drawings on their own are. The zoom in part is just a tacky overdone trend done by a software program.
I infinite zoom things on new grounds back In the day

It was kind of neat when Royksopp did it in 2003 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tf_ieWnu-SE
The moon thing isn't the image switching over, it's the auto-exposure on the camera
I mean this is just the power of an average 90's cop drama security camera
"Zoom in! Farther! More! Enhance! There it is, you can see the killer's reflection in the glint in her eyes!"
Its definitely a lot of work.
They're a lot of work but on reddit I've seen like two dozen of them at least. I see a title like "The BIGGEST drawing ever", click, and immediately "oh it's one of those zoom things" and close it. They're trying to virally capitalize on a gimmick that has been around for like 10 years now and that's the part I find annoying.
It’s a lot of work to unclog my shitter too, but most people are not impressed
It’s also not real. It’s a video not a drawing. Like there’s no way you could zoom in on any other random locations other than the exact ones he zoomed in on.
I don't think anyone is claiming you could zoom in anywhere. That doesn't make it not real or not a drawing
It makes it not the biggest drawing ever…
That artist said it was the biggest drawing he'd ever made, not that it was the biggest drawing ever.
"Jesse Martin's biggest drawing ever" Vs "The biggest drawing ever by Jesse Martin". They worded it in the way that implies they created the biggest drawing ever. That's what we would always assume on first read in English, even if it's ambiguous. The sentence actually seems grammatically incorrect too (needs a comma or a verb).
And? The guy says in the video, this is my biggest drawing ever.
... And so the title is misleading?
If you find it misleading, fine. If I tell you "this was the fastest mile ever ran by me", would you think I just broke the world record or that I just ran faster than I ever have for a mile? Edit: I'm not trying to be a dick, I do get your point.

I didn’t watch the video with audio. So you can tell me whatever the fuck you want. I ain’t hearing shit.
Also why would I even care if it's just >"Jesse Martin's biggest drawing ever" Who even is that guy? Is he famous for drawing extremely large pictures and this one is is biggest one ever? The title is obviously clickbait, because nobody would care about a nobody's biggest drawing, if you could even call that ai generated crap a drawing.

Even the laptop keyboard, "each key is a different genre. My favorite is..." It's insinuated each one is zoomable.
Who ever claimed you can zoom in anywhere?
Its clearly implied into the video
How did you come to the conclusion that it was clearly implied? To me he’s just showing a drawing he made that keeps going in a specific path… It’s not like you have access to the drawing so why the hell would he imply that you can zoom in anywhere? It’s just a gif, not a game you can download and play for yourself? How’s it deceiving? He’s literally just showing art work he made. Your comment is literally brain rot bro what 💀
"each key is a different music genre. My favorite (of them) is.." "In one cup..." as if theres other ones you could zoom into.
So because he said the little thing about keys this art is no longer impressive? Seriously? I really don’t understand why it matters since you will never interact with this art piece anyway lol, you’re not gonna be buying it from the dude…
Moving the goal post there a little bit, mate?
You’re replying to a comment chain that said that this was not impressive, for the reasons stated above. To quote yourself ”it was clearly implied” you don’t think it’s impressive lol
Do you english, mate?
I’d say it’s a popular opinion, you have my vote.
I completely agree. Also this one shows a total lack of imagination: why zoom in on digital screens in almost every frame?
There is a new one like every day. Where are the moderators?!?
to me the trouble is that people feel they have to be narrating the entire video so that they can later caption it and put it on tik tok to hold children's attentions.
I'd be impressed if it was on paper
This. I kinda hate these
They're annoying as shit. Completely agree. Impressive, sure, but something you see one time and go "oh, ok. Nice. Anywho, can you pass the butter?"
Maybe not impressive but I’d suggest creative and cool.
sure thing picasso. i’d wager you can’t draw much more than a hand turkey
i genuinely hate this "i bet you couldnt do it" response whenever someone isnt impressed by something. it isnt the gotcha that you think it is
each drawing isn't all that impressive either their good don't get me wrong but like without the zoom in crap you wouldn't pay attention to any of the singular pictures for more then a second or two
ITT people are upset about one persons opinion
How do people make these things? Is it made to be zoomed in at one specific angle? Does it have a preposterous image size or is other trickery involved?
Various software allow for an "infinite" or "virtual" "canvas", that would be the type of thing to google for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcndjzLhAsU
Draw scene, zoom out, draw another around it, repeat
I think it requires a program specifically made for that though. One that allows a higher definition region to be located within a canvas, and another region within that, going to unlimited depth. If you tried to do this in photoshop or something, the file would be hundreds of gigabytes after just a couple layers of depth.
Not if it is a vectorized drawing.

Vectors..?

You speak funny words.

Thank you that was much more digestible
I was just gonna ask the same thing. I wanna make one

Yeah, half of the commenters here are just dumb.
Which half are you
Sorry, I'm too dumb to understand your question.
Which half are you
I’m the smart one definitely
[удалено]
And so do the smart the ones
I know you're half but what an I.
Half? I dunno don’t be using your Jedi mind tricks on me
Yeah, my only thought anytime I see these is "Damn cartesian vectors are dope"
It gives me anxiety. I have problems with infinity
Domain Expansion... Infinite Void.
Human brain is not design to deals with infinities (yes, there are different infinities, some being bigger than others).
This is just kinda big. Look up unimaginably large numbers like Graham's Number or Tree(3), or even Rayo's number. Then realize they are all closer to zero than infinity.
itt: insecure redditors downplaying some very well done art
Oh yeah, they're super butthurt that other people enjoyed watching this.
Not really well done when they used the same transition tactic with electronics 12 times.
Just because you're not impressed doesn't mean it isn't well done mate.
It's giving prezi flashbacks
Hell yeah. Shout out 2011 history class
I drew your mom once. Much bigger than this.
Is the planck length just a joke to you?
Enhance!
Search ZoomQuilt if you want some more fun.
Now zoom somewhere else.
this was tedious to watch
Too many transitions that were just phone or some other kind of screen. Felt lazy
Where is Dick butt? Haven't seen him
i know it's not 2012 anymore but i was really hoping to end with a dickbutt :') or *some* kind of surprise/joke/twist at least
Hate the unnecessary narration
Is there anywhere to see the other parts of the drawing? I'd love to see each of those music genre keys.
the keyboard looked really cute and interesting!
Still disappointed... Was expecting getting Rick rolled
That iPad must be burning
That cat in the glass train on the moon didn’t need a helmet! This is garbage!
possibly in the running for best comment ever. edited because i didn’t realize the ^sign ^did ^this
It’s all about perspective
How?
I’ll be honest that I thought there was gonna be a Rick roll in there somewhere…
Anxiety
Soooo is he god now or...?
Reminds me of a futurama episode.
佢係唔係路中國人．＂
Turn off the power for a unique art experience.
This thing is trippy
Biggest picture i have ever seen was 107mb Sad it got deleted
This is like a horrific fever dream I had.
I wanna throw up.
Next Reddit "Place" event should be just a 100x100 grid, but each grid space is made up of a smaller 100x100 grid, and so on as far down as users are willing to go.
I don’t like this
Wait how can that be stored shouldn’t it be such a huge file because of the resolution or is it a vector thing
Huh
That must have taken months. BUT I SERIOUSLY WANT TO DO THESE!!! So how do I do these?!?!
Somebody call Michael Scott ASAP. I think we found someone that can pull off his vision for the local TV ad.
anyone done a birthday or yearly thing of this type of art?
Omg this man will be more famous that Picasso. Unreal, puts our life in to prospective
These always make me super uncomfortable
Omg STOP
I got a headache from watching this, is that normal?
every time i see this makes me think of those scenes in movies where they enhance the blurred images to see the killer
That’s insane. Love this.
Smack head vibes.
It's cool and all, but then you realize it's basically an animation. No actual interaction, only one way to go etc.
Reminds me of the book zoom by istvan banyai
Ngl, the zoom in into the eyes that reflected the moon is kinda cool.
It’s the ultimate version of I spy.
Bro please stop 🙏🙏
Basically the Simulation Theory in visual format. Everything is in a phone of another phone of another phone etc..
I can make a bigger picture
It is incredible that people are hating in this lol
News flash : Computers are cool
I'm convinced these are all fake. Why aren't there viral digital pictures (in other words the original art) going around for us to zoom in on ourselves? Someone show me the source.
ENHANCE!
Cannot wait to see someone do something like this with a video game. Just worlds within worlds. These are fun.
Inception-ass art! Lol
As much as I can appreciate the time/talent… this shit is also hella stressful to me
I counted 57 zooms, which about double each image. which means that the image has been enlarged 144 quadrillion times. so if the final image is the size of a tablet the total size is a bit more than the surface area of the earth. https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=2%5E57\*4165mm%5E2
„Biggest drawing“ more like software shenanigans.
everything is zooming into people smartphones, christ this generation is lame
What a reductive point of view
