Trompe-l'oeil





Today in drawing 1 we learned about Trompe-l'oeil style drawings. Trompe l'oeil in English, stands for "deceive the eye" and many of these style drawings can be seen in street art where the artist will attempt to create a three dimensional drawing on a sidewalk. This is an example of such a drawing: http://www.brothersbychoice.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/jux_leg.jpeg

For my attempt at a similar styled drawing I tried to set up this board in a way that it had shadows and objects that would show where each object is in relation to one another. The shadows in this type of drawing are especially important because they give that type of effect when done properly. I feel that I should have added a more three dimensional feel to this drawing and after viewing various examples like the one in the link above, I have a better understanding of how to go about this.
