AMAZING 3D DRAWINGS

THIS may look like a dolphin through jumping hoops, but it is in fact nothing more than a clever 3D pencil drawing. The amazing drawings are a trick of the mind created by Italian designer Alessandro Diddi, 42. 'I want my drawings to put across the message that the eye can trick the mind and make you believe that there are dimensions that are not really there,” said Alessandro. Using his own hands and objects to make the drawings appear even more life-like, they appear to show two men using their strength to pull a pencil out of Alessandro's hand, as well as a snake slithering away as its being drawn. Another shows Alessandro's fingers turn into claws and ripping the paper, while a different drawing indicates the designer trying to slam down the paper on a struggling man.
