DIY 3-D Painting

The first 3-D movie that I saw in the cinema was "Iron Man 3". The exemplary 3-D effect in the movie attracted me towards the 3-D films. I always imagined how these movies are given a 3-D effect and how the filmmakers are able to play with our senses and create a magical experience which makes us think that all the stuff in the movie is actually happening before us.

Few months back I again saw a 3-D image but it was a bit different. It was a portrait made by a painter who was well known for his 3-D paintings. The painter plays with our senses to give us a false image of the object. The painter used the 3 dimensions in paper to give us an illusion of the abstract idea.

After continuous observation I was ready to create my own 3-D painting. But I decided to start with something easy. So I started with the most easy illusion effect i.e. creating depth in the image by use of curved lines.

In this Instructable I will teach a very easy and effective method to make 3-D paintings!!

Put your palm on a sheet (you can select any sheet based on your requirement) and with the help of a pencil trace it on the sheet.

After tracing the hand you will find some rough edges or errors. Remove them to get the perfect shape of the palm.

Draw straight lines on the sheet. Leave the palm blank , we'll fill it later. Use a series of colours to make the lines. Like I used Red, Violet, Dark Green , Orange, Light Blue & Light Green. Fill the whole sheet with them.

Fill the blank space with the same colour series but with curved lines. Also, make sure that the lines must match with each other.

And your 3-D painting is ready!!.

Look it closely and you will see a 3-D hand on the sheet.
