Anamorphic drawing is a fun technique that plays with our sense of 3D space.
I developed a technique using a laser pointer and a tripod to create this anamorphic drawing. It required a lot of running back and forth but it got the job done.
Anamorpic images give special significance to a single unique point in 3D space. From only that one point does the illusion look correct. Other vantage points reveal the true nature of the image.
This one came out a little sloppy but I kind of like its hand drawn look. The illusions really only work with what David Hockney describes as "the cyclops eye" of the camera. Our stereoscopic vision isn't fooled.
I colloborated with Pat Davivongsa to create a couple quick anamorphic drawings in the DMI workspace. We used the much simpler and effective technique of using a projector to create this one.
