Jonathan Stephen Harris guides you step-by-step in creating mind-blowing pencil drawings, starting with basic optical illusions and progressing to more challenging ones. From impossible shapes to three-dimensional sketches and trick art, you won’t believe your eyes as you learn to draw optical illusions in graphite and colored pencil.

Learn to draw 25 optical illusions, including:
  • 3D Shapes

Certain techniques can be used to create these types of illusions, and author Jonathan Stephen Harris gives clear instructions for everything you need to know. The Art of Drawing Optical Illusions begins with information on tools and materials, perspective, and shading, and then jumps into the first simple optical illusion. At the end of the book is an inspirational idea gallery for more illusions you can draw. As you work through the optical illusions in this book, you will hone your drawing skills in the most unique way possible, while also exercising your mind with these brain-boosting, unbelievable tricks! Just like a magician, you’ll be able to wow your family and friends with your own stunning optical illusions!
