The works of this Japanese artist named Aria might leave quite an impression on you given that the artist is completely self-taught. Aria makes hyper-realistic 3D drawings that seem to come out of the paper as the artist makes it seem as if it's just an optical illusion. From random inanimate objects such as soda cans to fruits, the art is detailed and impressive, to say the least.

The artist first sketches out what she wants to draw and then mostly uses colored pencils to fill it in and give it some final touches to make it seem as if her two-dimensional works are in fact 3D.

We are pretty sure Aria's works could easily be mistaken for optical illusions as they are incredibly realistic and accurate when compared to their real-life counterparts. The artist usually does drawings depicting soda drinks, packaged food, and even in some cases real animals such as spiders, fish, and even octopuses. Surprisingly all of the drawings are done only using paper and colored pencils.

This is not a picture of the drawing, right? This whole image is the drawing (table top, background), right?

TRIGGER WARNING: There's a humongous, very real-looking drawing of a spider a few posts down.

When we think of 3D art, the most common form that springs to mind is the incredible chalk art which uses mathematical perspective and artistic skill to brighten sidewalks. However, overall 3D street art takes many forms, just like in Aria's case. So Pandas, let's take a look at the incredible variety of 3D drawings made by this Japanese artist.

Amazing! Just the gradient of color in the shadow is outrageously accurate!

I've drawn a shoe before and it wasn't easy and mine was only in pencil so I can't imagine how hard full color must've been

Anyways for all of y'all doubting the drawings this one's a little easier to see the cutouts!! Yes they are all drawings it's not the soda on the paper like everyone else said it's legit they cut it out to give it a more 3rd vibe and for the water glass you can see a slight wiggle on the top of the glass that shows its not an actual glass lol

I am converted to Arianism. I am a believer now. The tail gives it away. It is true sketches not optical illusion, was sceptic until this picture.

Now see I like the other ones but I can't seem to see this snake in 3d on the paper with the signature because I keep seeing the head detached from the body. But the body of the snake on the bigger paper I see in 3d. It's just the head that screws up the illusion for me. The rest of them are amazing...this is too though don't get me wrong. I'm no artist and I'm in awe of anything more than a stick figure since that's about all I can draw

No way…did they draw the table and background as well? These look too good to be true 😬

This is clearly a drawing (as it is the same skill level as most of the drawings), but I'm very sceptical about the other soda cans above...

That butter and syrup are too perfect. This is the only one I'd even question though, these are amazing. How do I get real life pancakes to look that delicious?

I like that he showed this work in progress. Makes it all the more mind blowing how much talent he has.
