30 Drawings By This Japanese Artist That Look Like Optical Illusions
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.

Wow, fresh water cat fish... Locally known as Ikan keli in Malaysia, or Lele in Indonesia; bottom drawler n feeder, having soft sweet flesh, popular cooked spicy n coconut milk;
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.

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

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

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

I’m more impressed with how rapidly the artist must have to work with the catfish and octopus models before their lifeless bodies start to stink up the studio.
