Amazing 3D Pencil Drawings By 21-Year-Old Nagai Hideyuki. Hmm...














Inspired by British 3D street artist Julian Beever, 21-year-old Nagai Hideyuki from Japan creates amazing 3D pencil drawings on paper using a projection technique called anamorphosis where the 3D illusion is created when viewed from a particular angle.

The story goes that at the age of 17, Hideyuki tried to become a cartoonist for some reason, but was told he had no talent. Three years later, he saw Julian Beever’s street art in the newspaper and decided he wanted to do something similar in the streets of Japan. Unfortunately, he soon found out that it was super illegal and thankfully resorted to paper... and thank fuck for that. How amazing is this shit?
