Perspective-Bending images , page 1

Hi guys,

Used search and found some optical illusion threads not quite right for these pictures.
i was browsing the papers online and came across this article in the Sun (link below)

www.thesun.co.uk...

i am waiting for permission to be able to re-use these images, so i started googling optical illustion and photorealism which bend the perspective of an image.

Photorealism: Photorealism is the genre of painting based on using cameras and photographs to gather visual information and then from this creating a painting that appears to be photographic

Optical illusion: An optical illusion is characterized by visually perceived images that differ from objective reality. The information gathered by the eye is processed in the brain to give a perception that does not tally with a physical measurement of the stimulus source.

We will all have seen pictures like this but they still bring us a smile, ENJOY!

I just now noticed that she↑ doesn't have feet. lol
Maybe she chopped them off so that the water pipe could be inserted directly into her leg.

Here is some of my 'photorealism' work. Did not know this term b/c I don't have a formal background in art. I just do it b/c I want to and I was encouraged at a young age to believe I was capable. All are, like you said, from a photograph.

Pastel of my then 4-yr-old son in McDonald's playground...


Pencil drawing of kids years ago...


Pastel of our cat. (shows the photograph.)


Pastel of someone else's cat...


Pastel of a friend's kids...


Acrylic of a friend's house...


Pencil of a bride & groom from when they were kids...


Not much success at impressionistic art. I only feel successful with photorealism or cartoonish stuff.

Really hard to say. Time always slips away and morning turns to night in the blink of an eye when I get going on one of these. I'll estimate 18 - 48 hours total, usually in chunks of 8 or 10 hours at a time. What's weird is, I can sit doing this for hours on end, and not feel at all like I have been sitting down so long. I feel energized and connected and my mind goes 'elsewhere' to the point where I 'come to' and see my progress. While my mind is 'elsewhere' I experience epiphanies and deeper understandings of things that were beyond my grasp.

I just happened to see it right after I was looking through this thread. And I thought that it really made my mind see what it wanted to see. So to speak, ahem..but, just like others, it truly is an illusion.

So true. I only posted them because of this in the OP:

Photorealism: Photorealism is the genre of painting based on using cameras and photographs to gather visual information and then from this creating a painting that appears to be photographic

But I could remove them. Or it may be too late to edit.
