A mechanical engineer has stunned villagers with his jaw-dropping 3D illusions of zebra crossings and road blocks.

Shivrama Krishna, 26, has no formal training in the highly specialised art form but the passionate cartoonist creates incredible drawings across roads and rooftops.

An astonishing video captures Mr Krishna, the son of a farmer from Telangana, southern India, baffling drivers with his incredibly life-like 'zebra crossing' on a dusty village road.

A video showed him laying down a clever combination of rectangular strips in varying hues of grey and white to create the incredibly life-like illusion

The clip sees Mr Krishna using a range of paint brushes and paint stainers to craft his optical illusion.

The artist lays down a clever combination of rectangular strips of flex sheets in varying hues of grey and white.

When positioned together in just the right way, they perfectly capture the shadows and textures of a real zebra crossing.

The video also shows another creation - this time what appear to be short white blocks with yellow edges.

The mechanical engineer's other mesmerising designs include a 3D style swimming pool painted on a roof

His other mind-bending designs include a larger-than-life size swimming pool, staircase and Eiffel Tower on paper sheets.

Mr Krishna always had a knack for drawings and spends around three to four hours complete each one.

He started painting and cartooning as a hobby before eventually getting an opportunity to work as a cartoonist for a text book in 2011.

But he got the taste of 3D art for the first time in 2015 after assisting an artist from New Delhi.

Ever since, he practises day and night to perfect his skills.

Mr Krishna always had a knack for drawings, like this 3D looking leaf, and spends around three to four hours complete each one

He said: 'I used to doodle and paint in books while in class. I always scored highest marks in arts.

'Eventually I started drawing cartoons but last year I found a new love in 3D illusions and started practicing perfecting the skill.'

'My peers and neighbours are impressed by my work and I am only hoping to be better and improved with time.'

Mr Krishna has so far made 143 paintings of which nearly hundred are small scale.

He does not paint on the floor directly rather he uses flex sheets and banners as canvas for large-size drawings.

His range of subjects knows no bounds and he has evenaaplied his deft touch to portraying the Eiffel Tower
