Tag Archives: Impossible Figure

After researching how to draw cylinders and ellipses in three point perspective I gave up on the idea and decided to go for approximations of the shape instead. It was a bit more work to create this figure than most … Continue reading →

I first drew this (with pencil and paper) late at night, before I turned off the light to try and get some sleep. I liked the look of it, but I myself deemed it un-impossible, in other words, possible. It … Continue reading →

I like to show my newly created illusions for my friends and family, to hear what they think. Naturally I sometimes hear that the figure surely is possible to create in reality, that it is not impossible at all. It … Continue reading →

When I title my figures I use the first word that comes up in my head. For this one did I think about a submarine as I think are fascinating, not sure if the design caused me to think of … Continue reading →

This figure might look nicer in wireframe, without colors or shades, as surfaces turn into nothing after they’ve gone behind what is up front. (Which is available now. Check the Linework link below the image.) I’ve tried to show this … Continue reading →

For this figure I decided to transform a surface two times over a single object. Usually I work with a single transformation from one state to another, which can be confusing enough to look at. With two transformations the object … Continue reading →

In this figure I experiment with connecting things with different angles. This is actually a pole and a blocky arc connected through four bars. The pole, to the left, has a constant size, but when the bars connect to it … Continue reading →

This figure was another experiment to work with non-orthogonal surfaces. It is a bit more work, both when drawing and shading, but the figures get a different feel to them. They don’t come naturally when thinking up impossible figures though, … Continue reading →
