3d Sidewalk Art Illusion
How does Julian Bever and other artists make those optical illusion sidewalk art that looks 3D?
I would like to learn how to do it too and I am looking for step by step instructions on creating the grid pattern and how to do the perspective? Are there artists out there who know the technique, who will share their secrets?
I’ve worked as an architectural draftsman and sign painter for ten years, so I know it takes more of a mathematical system of scale and I have seen them using an octagonal graph too but I don’t know what the ratios are or how to use them.
You ask a very good question ? The answer is this, in the only way I can.
Go down to the globe and see what it really looks like, also the the girl in the swimming pool and look how long the leg is in real life. Every thing you see in that art has to be elongated
to make it look normal from an angle. And the moment you start to walk away from that angle it starts not to make any sense.
Look at the girl in the pool and the globe and it will explain everything to you.Not very easy to do.
