The Amazing Pencil-Drawn Illusions of Ramon Bruin
Original article on OddityCentral.com - a blog on oddities and wacky news http://www.odditycentral.com/ Netherlands-based Ramon Bruin is a mostly self-taught artist with a gift for creating amazing optical illusions. He is well-versed in airbrushing and painting, but his most impressive works require only a pencil and a few pieces of paper.
The best word I can think of to describe Ramon Bruin’s art is “mind-blowing”. ”The art I make is what I like to call optical illusionism,” the gifted artist says. ”It appears the drawings are 3D and actually leap off the page. It’s of course all optical illusions.” He uses a variety of methods to achieve the desired result, including the anamorphic technique – drawing detailed yet distorted images which looks incredibly realistic only when photographed from the right angle. ”The main thing about my art is they are photographs of drawings. It’s all about the photograph,” Bruit told The Huffington Post. ”I draw out of perspective and when I’m done I take a photograph from one particular angle and the whole image appears to leap off the page.
