My First Attempt At Anamorphic Art (Don't Expect Too Much!) :)

I couldn't draw you a decent picture if you held a gun to my head.

That's my curse, I love art, I'd love to be able to draw and paint but I'm just not talented for it. Believe me, I tried (although some would perhaps say not hard enough, but my peers always had much better results).

Anyway, I was fascinated with the anamorphic art I saw on YouTube (it's a drawing technique, where you draw a picture in a certain perspective that on a 2D image from exactly the right angles looks like it's a 3D image).

A guy draw a "3D" picture of a Red Bull can floating slightly in the air and I had to try to do a quick sketch of the same to see if I could get it to look 3D.

What do you think, does it at least look a tiny bit like a 3D can floating (although, of course, drawn with a ballpoint pen on a white piece of paper and cut out a bit).

Here are the images from the both perspectives:

FIRST, When Looking "Upside-Down" You See It's Really A Flat Distorted Image:

my own image

BUT, When You Look At It From A Certain Angle, It Appears To Be A 3D-Ish Image:

my own picture

Of course, with a proper artistic touch and some real shadowing it could really look like a perfect 3D floating can :)

You did better than I think I could. Keep practicing and you will be an artist yet.

Thank you very much, but I'm afraid this is my maximum ;) I'll keep trying, though.

I have never heard of that style, but it's cool. The eyes get tricked into seeing it a certain way.

Actually, you did a really good job. Is that the technique that street artists use?

This is very interesting. I love to paint, draw. I've never thought about doing this.

Haha, thank you. Yes, this is the same technique the street artists use for their effects.

That is so cool to see and learn about it. Hehehehe you really love art, maybe you can try hard more and never give up. I am not best in drawing too, but I always give my best to it so in little ways I managed to draw a bit... hahahah! God bless.
