Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial. I have a question. How do i construct the graph if i want to do anamorphic art for my wall as opposed to laying flat on the table or floor?
The easiest way to create the illusion on a vertical surface is to use a projector. You can see it done here: medium.com/@tqvinn/the-secret-to-anamorphic-illusions-853e3674209a
Thank you a lot, dear. So if I want to draw a more sophisticated image, like superman flying towards me with his arm pointing the direction he is flying: it would be better if a draw it normally first, and then apply the techniques. In the end, it would look superman is almost hitting me with his fist. Is it right?
I followed you step by step with the grids and colours but I could only see/get the oval shape. When I changed the angle of the paper it still looked oval not round. Where did I go wrong.?
awesome, well done. Now to get the ball to look round, you leave the paper on the table, the stand back until the ball becomes an oval - the spot and height you are look at the paper at is the place where your artwork needs to be viewed from in order to complete the illiusion
what I suggest you do is follow the camera version of the tutorial, then once complete you will place the paper on it's original spot and look from where the camera was placed. You will then be at the correct place to see illusion
I only knew the one way of using the phone camera , and draw looking through the camera ,its incredible and satisfying hobby. This video was best, it was Intuative and easy to follow, at 13:15 i was deep in concentration,....making the grid,.... thinking to myself, " why don't i just go get a piece of my grid paper? then in those silent seconds that follow i was greatly startled by your voice coming back in(13:20) , saying "alright then" , i jumped like mom panda in that viral video when baby sneezed.
all image editor softwares can do this. The features is called distort. Look for it under your size tool. It allows you to drag the four corners of your photo to fit the "paper" size
it can be anywhere on the page. The further up you make it, the lower down you will need to be in order to see the image correctly. In other words where you put the furthest horizontal line will determine where the viewer will need to look from
It seems to me that the approach in the first 20 minutes in incorrect. Instructor says you estimate the back line which sets the angle of the plane at an arbitrary point. I believe that it is the location of the dot that actually determines the angle of view. The higher up the dot, the higher the view angle. In my opinion, the way to locate the back line properly to create a perspective view of the square grid, is to draw the diagonal line at an angle that bisects the angle made at the corner by the baseline and the receding guidline furthest to the right. The angled line that you drew to establish the horizontal gridlines will always bisect (or be half of ) the angle the lines make in the lower right corner. The perspective view of the grid that he has drawn does not represent squares in plan view. They are rectangles. There is only one place that line can be that will represent squares, after you establish the location of the vanishing point (the dot). I should also say that my assessment assumes that the surface which the ball is presumbly resting on is horizontal (like a floor or table top would be) and the line of sight is perpendicular to the paper axis. The effect of this mistake in locating the back grid line doesn't destroy the end result, it just changes either the amgle of the view which the instructor fixes by rotating the paper on the table at the end. But if you actually wanted to draw this ball and depict a specific viewing angle and height, the instructors method will fall apart. Forgive me if I have overlooked something and post a correction.
the "squares" must be rectangles because we are distorting the perspective as demonstrated in the beginning of the video. Feel free to try this method for yourself. It is the original method used by the old masters ;)
Parallax is a different effect to an anamorphic illusion. With Parallax items move at different speeds in relation to each other in order to create the illusion of distance between them.
Thank you sir. From many time I was trying to learn this and hear I am "RESPECT" love from INDIA
you're welcome :)
But how you took the center line for making grid

Great tutorial, thanks!❤️👍
Good luck with your illusion paintings
Thank you a lot, dear.

You would first need to draw it normally so that you can add your grid over the original image
Very interesting!
Best regards.
Thanks for the visit

Nope. I still can't get to see the round ball no matter where I stand. Maybe my lazy eye has something to do with it. I give up! hahaha
what I suggest you do is follow the camera version of the tutorial, then once complete you will place the paper on it's original spot and look from where the camera was placed. You will then be at the correct place to see illusion
I'll try that method and see what happens. Thanks Nolan.
let me know how it goes :)

lol, I am glad the tutorial helped you
Sir what is the software or app that you used in computer to make the distracted image of ball...how can I learn it
all image editor softwares can do this. The features is called distort. Look for it under your size tool. It allows you to drag the four corners of your photo to fit the "paper" size
@@PaintBasket thank you sir
Awesome. You is a master...thanks so much.
Glad it was helpful!
How do we determine where you put the furthest horizontal line so you know that is a square and not a rectangle.
it can be anywhere on the page. The further up you make it, the lower down you will need to be in order to see the image correctly. In other words where you put the furthest horizontal line will determine where the viewer will need to look from
Looks great but im too slow or thick to work this out.
it is a bit tricky, but if you watch it a few times it will make sense :)

alternatively you can use a projector
that works too :)
Hi, what app did you use to distort the photo?
any good drawing program will be able to do that for you using the distort or perspective function
Thanks for the demonstration. 20 mins into the video though, I was like, it actually takes 10 seconds to do it in photoshop.
Your first approach was actually wrong. The far side need to be larger instead of smaller to counter the perspective.
@@jayt3972 it's not wrong at all. It's 100% correct, I have demo'd it in the class, try it ;)
Thank you very very much, it really helps 😊👍
Glad it helped!
Thank you...thank you..soooooo Much sir
Most welcome :)
interesting
Big Thanks!!!
you're welcome
You should have called this "Painting a parallax."
Parallax is a different effect to an anamorphic illusion. With Parallax items move at different speeds in relation to each other in order to create the illusion of distance between them.
