You won't believe your eyes! Artist creates amazing 3D drawings with just a pen and paper

A Dutch illustrator has created incredible 3D drawings on paper which seem to have a life of their own.



Ramon Bruin has created amazing 3D drawings of snakes, birds and insects using a technique he calls anamorphosis.



The process comes from airbrushing, something Bruin has been doing for 10 years. But this technique adds a 3D element when he inserts a finger or hand into the drawing to bring it to life.

'Airbrushing is a great technique for making paintings with depth and realism,' the 31-year-old freelance artist told the New York Daily News.

The challenge is making anamorphic illustrations is to not only make the drawings look 3D, but that the pictures of the illustrations look 3D as well.

'This depth can only been seen from a certain angle. I also experimented with light and with the correct light it appeared the drawing came off the paper.'

Bruin developed the technique by studying airbrushing at the Airbrush Academie in Lelystad, The Netherlands, and continued through his own company, JJK Airbrush.

Bruin is not standing still however, and has developed another new style for his next project, which involves making 47 x 32 inch portraits composed of 600 different coloured squares.

A full selection of Bruin's images can been seen on his website here or his Facebook page .



The technique, created by Bruin, is something he calls 'anamorphic illustrations'

A clever use of a prop, like here with a candle, really helps to bring life to a static drawing

Bruin's technique stems from airbrushing, a skill he has been working at for 10 years

Bruin says airbrushing adds the 3D quality to his drawings, but the introduction of props or a hand or finger brings even more realism

The Dutch illustrator often uses animals in his pieces

Is that a real magnifying glass? You could easily be fooled into thinking so

From creeping insects to sprawling structures, Bruin draws impressive cartoons that seem to jump right off the paper
