Step 1: Draw a square.
The bigger the square, the more iterations you'll be able to draw.
Make sure you don't make the lines too visible, as we will erase most of them later. -
Step 2: Divide the square into a three-by-three grid.
,,, This is the second iteration of the Vicsek fractal. , Remember the pattern: divide into nine squares, erase the corners, divide in nine squares, erase the corners, etc., This is completely optional, but try drawing some different patterns, you never know what new patterns will unfold. -
Step 3: Erase the corner squares.
