One of these, now showing Eleven, a character from the series Stranger Things, surprised many people who viralized the video on social media. They claim that the image “jumps”.

Who created this optical illusion?
TikTok user @rishi.draws went viral and attracted nearly 14.5 million views for his creation. The clarity of the optical illusion, which only becomes clear after we close our eyes, shocked viewers who flooded the video with positive comments and surprised by the result.
Netizens watch the artist draw a digital image of Eleven as he talks about how the optical illusion works. Rishi narrates the video saying that he is drawing another illusion and that it would be one of his favorite characters in a series.
He also points out that the problem is that you can only see this image with your eyes closed. When finished, the illustration displays a white dot added between Eleven's eyebrows.

How does this illusion work in practice?
The user instructs his followers that it is necessary for the person to look at the white dot for 30 seconds and then close their eyes. But that's just after! At first, the individual should continue looking at the dot. You can even blink, but you must stare at it. The artist continues passing directions for a few more seconds.
After looking at the image for the allotted time, the person is instructed to close their eyes. The moment she opens them again, she will see Eleven looking intently at her. For a better result, it is recommended to look at white or light walls. Even the PC screen can be dominated by it.
Repercussion of online comments
Netizens on the social network shared that they were both thrilled and scared by the revelation. The viral video racked up a staggering 1.7 million likes and nearly 49k comments on Tik Tok. The most popular comment on the video-sharing app said, "Wow, that was way cooler than I expected."
Other commentators said that the illusion she can be seen for a long time, eyes closed or eyes open. One popular comment read: "Man, now she's eyeing me like a shadow in the comments."
