15-Year-Old Artist Creates Awesome 3D Notebook Drawings

Brazilian artist João Carvalho, a.k.a. J Desenhos draws on lined paper of notebooks, which might seem boring until you see how he manages to twist and turn these drawing notepad pages into amazing 3D drawings. And he’s only 15 years old!

Carvalho bends the blue “notebook lines” that he draws across the page and then adds shading to complete his cool drawings. The famous characters and interesting shapes seem to pop out of or even through the 3D notebook page. What’s most surprising is that he hasn’t been at it for long – he began drawing these 3D artworks in June of this year, and he taught himself to draw!

We’d like to thank Carvalho for telling Bored Panda about his unique artworks and drawing ideas!

There is a beast with heart of cold stone
that dashes like lightning, shreds flesh from bone. //
Bewitched by this beast, I fell to my knees.
My mouth babbled madness and mumbled soft pleas. //
I stared down the ravenous, gnashing dark maw of a cute cuddly kitten with yarn in its paw
