This instructable is about fractals. It teaches you how to draw a simple one that don't require a computer. I found out about these from a friend.

A fractal is any shape that repeats itself indefinitely within itself. A fern is a perfect of fractals in nature. Other simple fractals are the Sierpinski's Triangle, the Menger Sponge, and the Koch Snowflake.
Making a Fractal

This can be done in paint, but most people get programmers to the work for them, since it is very repetitive. This will just teach you how to make a
Step 1: the Triangle

The firs step is to make a black triangle
Step 2: the First Whit Triangle

Now draw a white triangle inside of the black trigangle
Step 3: Do This Again and Again and Again...
