Pencil Trick [Better Resolution]

          I was searching for my old stuff in the drawers until I found this old drawing. This is an anamorphic sketch of a pencil I did years ago*. I thought I already lost it, but fortunately it is still well kept together with my old  quiz papers. 

          I already took a photo of this drawing before. However, I took it using a webcam so the resolution is not so good. Taking the opportunity, I took these photos with a camera with better resolution. I hope you will like it. I will try to create more drawings if I have spare time.

Anamorphic Drawing of a Stick Man

         

          Once again, I attempted to create another anamorphic drawing. This one is a stick man which is supposed to look like it is standing above the paper. I actually posted something similar to this before. It is named "Pencil Trick". You can check it by clicking the link.

          I actually had a lot of tries doing a 3D looking sketch before I achieved this one. The trick is that you draw the stick man by stretching the upper parts more as compared to the lower parts. This way, you can create an illusion of the standing stick man if viewed on the right angle. 

I have placed the top view of the drawing below in order to show how it really looks like.

          I also took a photo of the anamorphic stick man with thick marker outlines. (taken from the angle that creates an illusion)

 

I will try to post a better anamorphic drawing if I have time. In the meantime, you can leave your comments and feedback about the stick man below.

Hello again. I've been trying on how the 3D street art really works. After all the experiments and a lot of practice, here it is. I call this the "Pencil Trick"*. The picture is not that clear as expected but I still got the illusion working at this angle. There are more of these on my online photo album. If you want to see more of these, just let me know.

*The artwork on the photo together with the other ones are mine and not from another artist/s.

Clockwise or not?

At what direction is she spinning? Well, there are two answers to that question, clockwise and counterclockwise. Many of us see her spin in clockwise motion but that doesn't mean we can't see her move the other way. Try to look closely and you will see her move the other way. Still can't see it, try to look at the ******. I guess you also have to figure the hint yourself.

Even more of Edgar Mueller's

These street paintings are great I can't stop finding for more. I found a lot of these paintings but I only choose three. I consider these ones as my favorites at this point in time. Just take a look and see what made me decide to post them here.

Innocent? Think again

It is not what you think, try to look again and see the picture one more time. You see it now? Not yet? You didn't see the dolphins, did you? At a first glance, most of us see this illustration as a couple doing something else. However, according to a research children do not see it like we do(I did see the couple first). Instead, they see nine silhouette dolphins inside the bottle. If you didn't still see up to this point, I suggest that you check it again. I do not know who created this nice illusion but I think it is worth to be in my blog. 

At this point, I am still thinking about a good topic we can talk about. You can also do a share if you leave your suggestion for my very first weekly theme. Thanks for stopping by.

A Cool Illusion

Video from: youtube.com

               Sorry for this late post. Anyway, I want to share this very nice video from Youtube. I will not elaborate on the video fully for I don't want to be a spoiler. After viewing the video, It was like o.0. Just one thing before I end the description, this is not a video with scary sounds and ghost images. Enjoy and leave comments.

**UPDATE: I recently added a little interactive gadget on my blog. Did you notice the fishes on the top of the page?(Of course you do.) If you never knew, you can also feed them. Try it!!
           

Is that a green dot?

The illusion above is called the "Rotating Dots Illusion". At a first glance, you will see a group of pink dots arranged in a circle. If you look at it for a span of time, you will notice the pink dots disappear and only see a green dot rotating in a circular path. I hope you enjoy it.
